  • Samsung buys AI startup created by Siri co-cofounders

    "Samsung has drastically changed in terms of how they handle acquisitions and integrations over the last three years and really gotten good."

  • Apple ordered to pay $302.4M in damages to VirnetX in patent retrial

    VirnetX has a product called Gabriel that implements their secure communications tech. It isn't selling because Apple has sniffled it by ignoring patent law.
    If you invent something, you are not a troll if someone else steals it and uses it and you sue them.
    Apple never saw an invention they could not steal cheaper than make...per SJ guru himself.
    They have been using VPNoD knowingly in violation for years. Their "engineers" testified they never even checked patents before development---sheer stupidity or arrogance. Trying to force Virnetx out of business. Bad stuff, Apple.
    Be smart. Buy VHX-VinetX stock now as Apple is going to pay and pay. And so is Samsung and others. Microsoft paid early and gets out cheap. Do some homework.
    Wow - must be either an employee or lawyer for VirnetX. What part of "the patents have been declared invalid" do you not understand? As to East Texas, there is one simple solution. Its time to give Texas back to its rightful owner - Mexico.

    If the people who discovered the exploits hacked into our phones, they'd be criminals.
    you or I do this... illegal. a government does it... protecting national security. those that write the rules are above the law.
    Channeling  Richard Nixon, are we?
    Not Nixon but James Comey, who is the reincarnation of J Edgar Hoover, the originator of the government being above the law. It also doesn't help that the Patriot Act has given our government free reign to do just about anything they want in the name of national security (whether it's real or imagined). Our radical supreme court can't wait to make this historically illegal act legal and Congress continues to do nothing but fight each other so we're getting closer to the stereotypical police state where our government is allowed to break the law while everyone else (except those who buy off government officials) is expected to abide by a second set of laws. 
    Just contribute to the Clinton Foundation and you are good to go. Nice cushy govt job, etc.
    jdgaz - Dont be an idiot. Take your moronic comments to the Faux News site where they belong.

  • Samsung Note 7 battery fire woes triggered by rush to beat Apple's iPhone 7 - report

    rob53 said:
    Why does everyone keep demanding something entirely different every year? What's wrong with simply delivering something that just works? People don't realize how difficult (and unnecessary) a total re-design is. Changing a design to meet the frivolous demands of customers and (especially) crazy analysts does not produce a better product only a different looking one.
    With all due respect, that's total nonsense. Apple has delivered greatly advanced performance in processor and graphics, improved battery life, greatly improved display, and greatly enhanced camera capabilities. Apple produces engineering marvels that have changed the way we communicate on a daily basis, and how we take and use photos. What is not to like about that? These are certainly not "frivolous" enhancements. Samsung on the other hand....
