    Just goto www.appleinsider.com, you are using an iPhone why are you letting them send you to mobile site, once you go to the full site, it adds a cookie so you will always go to the full site.

    It is all about the numbers. Because of the better search engine hits, the site probably has doubled its unique page views, as well as increased its new user count and overall back links significantly. The social media and SEO driven design is the primary focus of Huddler. If you view their website there is no mention of mobile devices. It is all about driving traffic to the site. CMS and forum softwares have never been known to be very mobile friendly although Jelsoft did just release a mobile app for the V Bulletin forum which is the software we previously had here, however due to legacy compatibility issues they still aren't up to speed in SEO capability.


     


    I have quite a bit of experience modifying (hacking) CMS and forum software applications since the days of UBB in Perl on Solaris, however once you hack it, you cannot upgrade except by re-hacking it afterwards. In some cases you can write plugins but most of the time you have to rewrite existing core functionality. In my experience most of the packages that are available are overly complex because they integrate different modules from other platforms for their editors, media embed players, and user management control panels, etc.


     


    It is obvious that AI has already commissioned Huddler to customize this software in order to import the users and threads so they could convert over. I'd be interested to know how they plan to maintain the security updates and feature additions with the customized architecture. From what I have uncovered so far, this software does not seem to be very secure at all.

    They failed to provide a believable explanation for why their post-2007 phones looked like iPhones. They just attack Apple again. Trying to make Apple the issue to divert attention away from their own conduct. Incredible. The most damning proof is their reference to "patent abuse." Their view is that Apple shouldn't enforce their patents rights. The only reason they want that is so they can infringe on those patents with impunity.

    Yes, something seems broken.

    My point?

    That this verdict won't change a rat's ass to the valuation of Samsung

    I think your statement actually fits your post better.


     


    It's irrelevant that their stock is up 5% compared to the day before the trial started. The only meaningful comparison is what their stock would be if they hadn't lost as opposed to the current result. The market felt that was worth 7%. In other words:


     


    For example, let's say Samsung's stock is at $100 (simplified for illustrative purposes) when the trial starts.


     


    It rises to $113 right before the verdict (possibly because of overall market forces).


     


    They lose, and it falls to $105. 


     


    That means they lost $8 (or roughly 7%), mostly due to the verdict (as it happened after hours).


     


    If they hadn't lost, they'd likely still be at $113. If they had won, they'd be even higher.

    Your point is wrong.


     


    If they hadn't lost, they'd likely be up even higher than 5%, wouldn't they? You're looking only at the net change from the start of the trial to the end, which isn't valid, because it doesn't take into account what the stock price would have been valued at had they not lost (or won).


     


    This is really simple business principles. It's similar to the following: if I have $1,000 and put it in a bank that earns 0.50% interest when I could have invested it in a low-risk investment that pays 10% interest, I didn't make 0.50% — I really lost 9.5%.

    Already has. Greatly. And has affected their past (existing monetary holdings), present (stock price), and future (legal incapability of doing what they've done so flagrantly before, and with more potential suits coming down the pipe).

    Samung, this is what your letter to your employees should have been:


    "We have to let go of the notion that for Samsung to win Apple has to lose. For Samsung to win Samsung has to do a REALLY GOOD JOB". (like Steve would have said)


     


    Learn from the best Samsung. Learn from Steve. A good leader doesn't bring excuses, brings solutions.


     


    If I was your employee, this is the way your memo would have sounded to me:


    "Sorry guys, we really tried to fight so that you can keep your jobs. But we are powerless and we couldn't do much."


    And after that I would have ask for a job transfer from the assembly line to one of the executive offices or the design offices.


     


    Dear AppleInsider readers, Android users, Windows Metro users and even iOS users, I say we all send Samsung and flood their mailboxes with these two things:


    1. examples of DIFFERENT usable user interfaces and DIFFERENT hardware designs for their phones and tablets (if Nokia and Microsoft have done it, it shouldn't be so difficult)


    and


    2. our resumes, applying to be designers and executives (I think we would just need our high school diplomas or GEDs)

    I enjoy stealing. 


    It's just as simple as that.


    Well, it's just a simple fact. 


    When I want something,


    I don't want to pay for it.


     




     


    Apt, and the whining on MacRumours (amongst the other tech websites) sounds very much like Perry Farrell's refrains.

    Samsung vows to keep fighting?

    It looks like they copied that, as well:



    It's just a flesh wound.
