    How the fuck is Apple infringing on Samsung's patents? Did you actually read the judgement, or do you believe everything that Samsung claims (but strange that you don't believe what Apple claims - Samsung fanboi any?)

    Uh, Apple spent 5 years to come up with the iPhone. Samsung took 3 months to copy it and you feel that this is a good thing?

    Why?

    I'm not sure how many ways there are to say that the SIII was not part of this lawsuit. Your apparent inability to read and continued claims does not make it so. The judge asked them to narrow their claims down, and they did. The SIII was not and is not part of the claims. Just because you claim it is part of the SIII line does not make it so.

    Apple can use the results of this lawsuit to claim the sky is green for all I care, but the judgement was against specific products that were named in the lawsuit. Non-named products have not been judged infringing. Are you also going to claim that Apple is going to ask for the Samsung TV to be banned? Because apparently that's also a squarish type object Samsung sells.

    And you are marked informative. *SHEESH*

    so, copying Apple, not paying royalties, risking lawsuit, is OK. OTOH, paying Microsoft $12/Android phone for reasons I'm unclear on, is even better?

    I wonder how you will talk if you weren't handed talking points.

    You do realize Apple did not sue Samsung before 2010 when Samsung's phones did not look like the iPhone, right?

  10. Perhaps this is indicative of the problem. Stop.

    Sit down.

    That may help you reduce your confusion.

    Oh sure, blame the messenger. It is now his fault that FAA has a shitty insecure system, and it is his fault for not telling FAA, except that, hey, he did tell them.

    In fact, after he told them, the FAA said - no, we're secure.

    In fact, after he showed them, the FAA said - no, we're secure because we can filter it out.

    Bah, humbug. The faults lies with exactly one entity. The one that is pushing out the insecure shit. Not someone who found it insecure. For you or anyone else to blame him is fucking bullshit.
