    Google just responded to Apple’s rebuttal with “We stand behind our report.” So someone is lying. Who? 
    Well, Bloomberg-BusinessWeek still "stands behind" its "Chinese / Super Micro spying chips" in Apple servers, etc.  Standard PR response regardless of truth.

    Samsung’s culture is such that it desires to be seen to be first, and has no qualms with failing publicly. They’re not pretending to be perfect, and so the media and their customers don’t treat them as trying to be perfect. 
    Sorry, what a load.

    "Not pretending to be perfect". I'm pretty sure it doesn't say that on the packaging, in the ads, or on your receipt when you fork over the $2,000. "Um, not really a real thing, just kinda a proof of concept we're playing around with in the lab. No one said it was supposed to work."

    "Not pretending to be perfect": Now that I understand what I'm supposed to expect from Samsung products, it dovetails perfectly with the pricey Samsung side-by-side refrigerator we bought. Stopped working after five months. There were no--as in zero--refrigerator repair shops that would even work on a Samsung. Even the big box "L" store where we bought it would not take it back and could not themselves even find a repair shop. With no further prompting they decided to let us keep the stainless box of junk and sent us a full refund. 

    PS: I fixed it myself, and kept the money.
