    Well APU is just a gpu on a cpu process. Which look at dates Intel did it ~8 months before AMD did. But with that said IF there are emails from facetime engineer's saying they know this violates someones patent and they still went ahead this, as said in apple vs samsung case last year if one side Knowingly infringed, damages could be multiplied a bit.

    Yea i haven't heard of any case of Samsung suing company X. Cept when it was Company X suing Samsung first. Samsung knows suing someone is bad PR, Hence why yes they have software patents but they are best kept for when other said company comes lookin' for easy $$$.

  10. Re:It's because Steve is gone on Why Apple and Samsung Still Get Along, Behind the Courtroom Battles · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Um, not really, Apple needs Samsung, Samsung doesn't need apple. Samsung is one few companies that can keep the demand apple has for chips in its phones. Going from company size, Samsung is much larger and worth a lot more considering they make so many products where as Apple 95-98% of their profits are from 2 product's

  18. its funny on Antivirus Firms "Won't Co-operate" With PC-Hacking Dutch Police · · Score: 2

    Reading over the parent story link of this, when such bill's are proposed they use Child Porn has the reason for needing such bill's. Almost every bill of this kinda that is excuse they give for needing it is to help prevent child porn. I mean Really? Is that the best they can come up with to push this kinda crap through? Part that really is concerning is "including those located in foreign countries". So they can hack someone in a completely different country with 0 problem? Um i doubt most countries would be fine with state sponsored hacking like this. No surprise that anti-virus firms won't allow this, if they did let this crap through would make people question what else is and what else could pose as such malware and skate by with the white-list.
