  1. Re: Court in Apple's back yard? on Samsung Must Pay Apple $539 Million For Infringing iPhone Design Patents, Jury Finds (cnet.com) · · Score: 0

    It's California, where being a successful corporation is a crime unles you produce Hipster products like Apple.

    Funny how Samsung wasn't even a successful phone company until they copied Apple's phones.

  2. I have observed (tech, pharma, oil, steel, agri..) American courts are favouring home companies with govt too eager to support cases. Fair trade rules are becoming a myth in land of freedom.

    I have observed that American juries don't like companies who keep objecting to verdicts abd force a retrial in the hope that the winner will lose interest and they will get away scot-free. I'm not the only one who has observed that Samsung used that tactic for decades.

  3. Well, Samsung can hardly argue that design patents are worthless, considering they have by far the biggest number of US design patents.

  4. Except in this instance both Samsung and LG released products that look similar to the iPhone long before it was even announced.

    No , they didn't. Each one was officially released after the iPhone was announced. Stopü lying, and don't even try the bullshit with "the LG won an design award in September 2006" - no it fucking didn't. I'm sicj#k of tired ypou repeat that debunked lie every time like an overpaid Samsung lawyer who can' t tell a Samsung and an Apple device apart when they are held side by side.

  5. Except there is NO resemblance, between the shitty iPhones and Samsung phones - if there were, I for one would find another product. This is just another example of ridiculous US patent law and the mentality of "SUE EM!".

    Errm, in this case even Samsung no longer argued they hadn't violated Apple's Design Patents, only that they shouldn't have to pay so much for it. Stop pretending they didn't.

  6. The US President has the authority to declassify anything he wants for any treason..

    FTFY.

  7. Extreme equivocation here. Donald Trump is tweeting political opinions. He is not blasting around highly classified information.

    Well, Congress will have to ask the CIA chief if the information he gave Trump about his "secret meetings with Kim Jong Un" was classified in any way - because Trump promptly tweeted about those.

    Kinda ironic given how much stick he gave crooked Hillary for ignoring security on email.

    Just curious. Have any of Trump's tweets actually included Top Secret information? Serious question, since I pay no attention whatsoever to anyone's tweets (except those of my mother, wife, and daughter - I'm not totally stupid)....

    Well, a month ago he tweeted about secret meetings of the CIA director with Kim Jong Un, which were supposed to lead to talks between Trump and Kim - which have now been called off.

    But most certainly not because he blew the lid of any secrets, nooooo.

    What's in it for Mercedes/BWM to deliver a small number of cars and earn some peanuts for customization?

    If it becomes a fiasco (most likely) they get a PR hit. If it succeeds (hah) Apple licenses it to everyone any way. Only way this really makes much sense is as a joint venture. Otherwise Apple should just buy the cars and modify them themselves.

    Worse yet, Merc/BMW risk brand dilution by partnering with Apple. I'm not surprised that Stuttgart gave them the cold shoulder, what have they got to gain compared to what they have to lose.

    Funny that the guys who own Bentley, Bugatti and Lamborghini aren't scared. Note how I don't even mention Porsche?

    Im sure apple has worked out the code to throttle the engine when the emissions get too high.

    Errm, yeah, emissions on an electric car. If you are smoking something - I'm sure you are. Is that's what you are worried about? That your car will not actually self drive when you need that the most? When you are stoned so much you can't sit without falling over (not that you would notice because you are floating)?

    So your point is that treaties signed by "the US" are worth shit, because pretty much anyone can declare them void if they feel like it. Remind me why anybody should even talk with America any more.

    It would be best for all involved if you kept postponing purchases until they were cheap enough for you, but then instead of buying you'd decide on a better product and then waited for that.

    And, speaking of shit, the display in the iPhone X is made by Samsung.

    And thanks to the things Apple changed about it, it's been tested as the best cell phone display. Ahead of those in shitty high end Samsung phones.
