Samsung is probably bitter about having to pay Apple – its biggest rival – over $1 billion in compensation for patent infringement. That bitterness will reach the public eye today when Samsung releases an ad in newspapers around the world.

Here’s what the ad looks like:

As you might already know, the phrase “It doesn’t take a genius” is a bit of a play-on-words. After all, Apple calls its store employees “Geniuses” due to their ability to solve problems with Apple technology.

A recent article profiled the advantages that the Samsung Galaxy S III has over the iPhone 5, and the results were shocking.
