Samsung to take stake in Gorilla Glass maker Corning after LCD deal Gorilla Glass maker Corning has announced that it's going to buy out Samsung Display's stake in their LCD joint venture, in a deal that gives Samsung Electronics a 7.4 per cent stake in Corning. As well as having a foot in the firm, Samsung will also get a new ten year glass supply agreement for its mobile devices and tellies …
Everyone knows Dragon glass takes longer to make then gorilla glass, it’s just not cost effective.
It’s hard enough crushing a Gorilla into a fine powder and then superheating it into glass, but have you ever crushed a Dragon into a fine powder? It takes ages.
They need to get the Dragons to crush the Gorillas into a powder and then superheating the powder into a glass using their fire breathing abilities, it’s would be much quicker than getting a large number of gorillas to crush one dragon, and then train the Gorillas to make fire.
I mean, seriously, next time think things through!
Honestly, the notion that I could pound like a gorilla is actually flattering.

I don't think so. This seems more like a mutual business agreement. Going with Gorilla Glass has been a boon to Samsung with their mobiles and TVs; their devices can take more abuse giving them more value. meanwhile, Corning appreciates Samsung's business since it lets them spread and improve the technology.
I wouldn't read this much further than just two partners taking a good thing and running with it.
Samsung operate as a bunch of competing businesses. If there is any cooperation or plan between them we have never been able to find it.
One Samsung division will happily screw another one for it's own slice of the market.
It wouldn't be surprising if Samsung Glass stops supplying to Samsung tablets entirely if Apple paid more.
