Silly question, but what do SEC, STA, SEA correspond to? Samsung's divisions? If so I'm gusssing "Samsung Electronics Co," "Samsung Electronics America," and...

Also, given they're evaluating patent infringement on a device-by-device basis it's a bit early to claim a clean victory or defeat.

wouldn't '381, '163, and '915 be just part of the OS, not really samsung's thing? or is that only on samsung android phones?

That is one thing I never really understood. A lot of the things Apple was whining like a little bitch about are part of Android and not anything Samsung specific.

This is a sad day for tech industry. The worst proprietary company gets a winning verdict on most obvious patents. This is going to cause a huge issue for everyone who wants to use similar gestures for their devices.

I don't think the jury understands what they have done really and how far reaching consequences this will have on consumer choice.

Since they make 'both' pieces their strategy is clearly to attack both 'offending' prongs - hardware and software. Since they put that software on, its fair game. Google is on deck now.

Well, Samsung will be able to afford any fines. And most of the things they are getting slammed on are old products or issues that can be resolved via a software update.

fixing round squares...via software update?

Hopefully this will spur new innovation and Samsung won't feel the need to just copy what Apple has done. Windows Phone although I don't like it, is innovative and looks absolutely nothing like an iPhone in any way and it was created in a post-iPhone world. So it clearly shows you can create a very capable smart phone without needing to replicate the iPhones user interface and in the case of the Lumia phones you can make a beautiful piece of hardware without copying the iPhone either.

I expect great things from Samsung in the next 24 months.

    • Sihoo Doro C300 Pro V2 Ergonomic Office Chair review: The Ikea of chairs

      By Steven P. · Posted

      Huh? I have an Aeron Remastered and the backrest cannot go up or down (only the lumbar is adjustable). Yes, the Doro C300 Pro V2's backrest can be locked, but the locking mechanism is so weak that when you recline and lean back the backrest moves with your body. I think the whole purpose of this chair is that all of the moving parts (except for the rocking, which can be locked in place) are supposed to move with your body, as you shift your weight, that's why I couldn't get used to it. Some people might like it though. Its redeeming factor is the price, I mean it costs like a quarter of what a new Herman MIller (Aeron) costs.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      I notice how you dodged the questions I had about the racism shown by ignorant, gullible, cowardly people when the Poles, like your partner, were the immigrants. Ahem. I wonder how you'd feel if native born Brits suddenly treated you as "dirty crooked immigrant" for being half Trump-American? If they ordered you to leave and "go back to your corrupt country" (on the other side of the Atlantic), would you go? The truth is based on facts as supported by evidence. As requested in your previous posts, I have used the facts in your own post to show everyone the truth.
    • Why it's almost impossible to produce a smartphone in the United States

      US citizens are paying to their government, who could use that to fund healthcare and tuition and relieve the costs of these for citizens instead of making tax breaks that overwhelmingly favor the rich. I'm not saying that tariffs are the correct solution, but what else would they be used for? What else could Trump have in mind for wanting them, if he hasn't figured out that labor costs are higher in the US?
