Samsung, enter sue mode!

They said they would sue Apple if the iPhone 5 would be introduced with LTE technology, and voila, it did. So, Samsung, your move. We're waiting.

From today:
Samsung, HTC to block US , EU Sales Of iPhone 5 Using LTE Patents
"It turns out that the iPhone 5 will be using the LTE radio standard for high-speed data transfer – a standard based on hundreds of different patents, some of which are held by HTC and Samsung. According to an industry source, “Samsung Electronics has decided to take immediate legal action against the Cupertino-based Apple. Countries in Europe and even the United States"
"On the HTC side, the legal battle is already under way. HTC has presented its patent claims before a US International Trade Commission Judge. The legal battle is still playing out, but Judge Thomas Pender has let Apple know that “Clear and convincing means something to me; I have to be pretty darn certain a US patent is invalid,” when Apple lawyers disputed the validity of HTC’s LTE patents."

samsung owns 20% of the whole LTE patents,
i dont know how much HTC has,
bottomline,
samsung has a standpoint but not as much legal standpoint as what apple had against samsung on the trade-dress

I'd be so happy if iPhone 5 gets banned here where I live. But why would it be banned in Europe anyway? There's no LTE here as far as I'm concerned?

Samsung and Child Labor in China

This is an email that I received from change.org. I find it quite startling.
My name is Li Qiang and I lead a group called China Labor Watch that investigates and exposes worker exploitation. As a rights lawyer committed to knowing every detail of China's labor laws -- and how they're ignored and broken -- I was shocked when I learned what's happening in the Chinese factories supplying electronic giant Samsung.
Children as young as 14 years old work 11 hour night shifts, 28 days a month and are denied medical care and even pay.
The exploitation of workers at Samsung's supplier factories must stop now -- and I'm confident that if enough people speak out, the tech giant will be forced to respond just like Apple had to earlier this year.
I started a petition on Change.org calling on Samsung to end worker abuse in the factories making its products. Click here to sign my petition now.
When 14-year-old Xiaofang (an alias, for her protection) got hurt after she fell down a flight of stairs at the factory, the owners and managers wouldn't even let her see a doctor. They wouldn't give her sick leave to recover and docked 6 days of her pay. Then, she was fired without any compensation.
Our investigators heard dozens of similar accounts from employees at the factory --even workers being hit by managers or forced to stand all day as punishment for a mistake. In addition to laboring in dangerous conditions every day, we discovered that children like Xiaofang working in this Chinese factory are paid only 70% of what adults are paid. The factory owners know it, but create fake IDs for the children and exploit them with lower pay and part-time hours so the authorities won't find out.
A few months ago, I saw the tremendous impact that a petition on Change.org had when it called for Apple to improve conditions in a supplier's factory. More than 250,000 people signed that petition, started by an Apple customer in Washington, DC. It was also covered by worldwide news media extensively. And in the end, Apple listened. When we found out about the horrific working conditions at Samsung's supplier factory, I knew we had to start a petition on Change.org right away.
I'm confident we can make a difference in the lives of these workers and in the way Samsung's products are made. Please click here and sign my petition calling on Samsung to stop labor abuse in factories making its products now.
Thank you.
- Li Qiang Executive Director, China Labor Watch
I love Samsung's products, but this isn't right. Sign the petition of you agree! Link - http://www.change.org/petitions/sam...campaign=10982&alert_id=JVUbGCTRtt_QLvUhQeLDP

They are a reliable site, but any "news" that comes out of China needs quite a bit of vetting before it's taken as fact. When I see some real evidence I'll step in.
Do you guys honestly thing Samsung would do this? It would give Apple one more thing to sue them for because they blatantly stole this idea from Apple and even I can't deny that

Whilst I obviously don't support child labour in any way, this forum really isn't the place for this topic of conversation. There are many far more politically based sites out there where this would be more suitable.

6,200 signatures already.
WE PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO:
Remove the Westboro Baptist Church's 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status, and make it retroactive.
The Westboro Baptist Church operates as a tax-exempt church. While it speaks volumes that many Americans value their right to free speech, this does not mean that we have to pay for their vitriol.
The WBC is not and should never have been considered a legitimate church for tax-exemption purposes, and this could be declared so either directly or with legislation affirming any or all of the following:
1) The WBC does not engage in any charity comparable in scope to their public image. They are only known for hate.
2) The WBC is not inclusive of its surrounding community, restricting membership. It is regarded by some as a tax shelter for its family's law operations.
3) The WBC uses invective speech under its name, actively denigrating classes of people - soldiers, homosexuals, and others

No, it doesn't. It's a remnant from the days where TV's were still new and unknown. When the governments still funded the only channels.
However, most of that licence income goes to the funding for the channels. Which in turn pays for the shows they create.

Isn't Europe in the middle ages or something like that?

The License fee, currently £145.50 per year, pays for the BBC television and radio channels which have no income from commercials. They also produce regional programmes, both radio and televison. The BBC is supposedly "independant" from the state but there is still a fair amount of interferance if you'll excuse the pun.
All other channels are run commercially funded by advertising.
There is an enforcement regime mainly based on a database of some 30 odd million properties, they assume all houses have a TV, you have to declare that you do not. Fines for not having a license can go up to £1,000.
http://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/check-if-you-need-one/topics/detection-and-penalties-top5/
A license is per household and covers all devices. It is still required for devices capable of watching or recording live TV even if you don't have a TV! This could mean your phone if it can be used to watch or record live TV, but not if you watch the program via their catch up service. Then it all starts to get a little blurred.
The page above claims they have hand held detection equipment, and detector vans to detect operating equipment.
Do they actually work or are they a complete bluff? The jury is still out.
Fines and convictions appear to have been the accused actually admitting their own guilt, when the enforcement officers came banging on the door.
This topic can run and run...............
*********************************************
Enforcement Officer: "Excuse me Sir, could I see your TV license?"
Householder: "Certainly, here it is."
Enforcement Officer: "But Sir, this license is ten years out of date!"
Householder: "So are the bloody programmes!"

As has already been stated, the license fee funds the BBC.
It's worth every penny not to get advert infested TV programs on the channels that the BBC run. The advertising on all of the other channels is intrusive in my opinion.
I've been to the USA and tried watching TV there. It's a dead loss as there is even more advertising than on the commercial channels in the UK. Rather than programming interrupted by by advertising it is more like advertising interrupted by programming! I found it very frustrating.
And don't get me started on $ky TV. You pay a subscription AND advertising pushed on you! No thanks!!!

This isn't about ego, this is about misrepresentation and claiming something you're not, the guy thinks he is a Doctorate or trying to fool others into believing that he's a Doctorate.
It is not Juris Doctorate, it's Juris Doctor, you'd think someone who spent 4 year studying for a qualification would at least know the name of their qualification.
In Commonwealth nations, JD is classified as Masters but teaches the same thing as a LLB program, so in reality, JD is really just a bachelor law degree, the only difference is that you need a bachelor degree in another discipline to enroll in JD, that's why it's classified as a postgraduate or Masters.
Things are bit different in the States, but still JD is not a Doctorate, in fact, in the States, JD is the first law degree since there is no bachelor law degree.
