I personally side with whomever treats their employees, particularly engineers, better. In this regard, Google "wins" hands down.
Google has some questionable practices with contractors but Samsung has (imo) worse conditions for its manufacturing workers. Compensation and treatment of white collar technical workers is won by Google, hands down. For me, Google doing well vs Samsung means more "better" engineering jobs in the world, so for this reason alone I will continue to root for Google in this struggle.
Of course, this is just my personal agenda and I don't expect anyone to necessarily share my beliefs. :)
