Don't companies love bragging when they take over their rivals? It seems Lite-on IT claims to have over taken Samsung to become the world's second-largest optical-drive maker.. Remember TweakTowners, It's a "claim"

Separately, the company reported a first-half net profit of NT$2.8 billion, or NT$8.98 per share, on sales of NT$21.2 billion.
