Samsung takes the Lead over Apple

The Apple-Samsung war extends far beyond smartphones and patents. Fortune on Monday released its Global 500, a ranked list of the world's biggest companies by revenue.

Samsung jumped from 20th place last year, after securing $149 billion in revenues. Apple was all the way back in 55th place in 2012 with $108 billion in revenue.

The Future Samsung TV May Bend and Twist

Samsung has been flaunting its flexible OLED displays for quite some time, but until now the technology
seemed to be geared toward smartphones rather than TVs. While the Korea-based manufacturer has been teasing the idea of a virtually unbreakable handset for more than a year, there’s no indication as to when this technology could launch.

According to the pantent, future Samsung TV owners would be able to bend or rotate a portion of the screen or the entire display depending on your viewing preference. The remote would communicate with the TV via Bluetooth

Hong Kong and Taiwan. The information aligns with a separate report published last Tuesday that claimed Sharp would begin mass production of so-called "iPhone 5S" LCD displays in June.

In addition to the anticipated iPhone 5 successor, Apple is also rumored to be working on a new low-end iPhone that
