"but claims that the new speakers deliver two times the volume of the iPhone 6s"

If this makes the speakerphone be able to be twice as loud, that's an awesome improvement. 

Samsung should step up to the plate .. settle with Apple by paying the judgement and not letting the Supreme Court rule.

Apple's iPhone 7 & 7 Plus survive early drop & water tests

Samsung's devices don't (except for the Note 7's, that survive moisture by going Nova).

That's actually a great name for their next phone.  The Samsung Super Nova.

"China Anti-Infringement and Anti-Counterfeit Innovation Strategic Alliance"  

LOL! I guarantee that in 6 months it'll come out that that alliance is funded by Qualcomm and Hauwei.  Guarantee. 

Bad choice.

Spinning blades of death to land on some poor unsuspecting surfer - what could go wrong?  I just hope they're get a Go Pro sponsorship "for the action shots".

For whom?

Musk. The Jobs bio was not well done.

The EU has a VAT - value added tax system, where the taxes are allocated based on where the value to the product was added. 

They do not have a sales tax based system.

No value is added in the EU, they are just a consumer.  So the taxes should rightfully be applied upstream - either to the US, where the product was designed and developed, or in China where the product was built. (or Ireland where the R&D is performed *cough*). 

Wow, thats some serious BS US Treasury.  So I guess hell will freeze over before AAPL brings its cash home -- cause they sure aren't doing to be double taxed on that money.  Bunch o' dummies.
