Honestly the moderators are not doing their job! This post above not only is delusional and but an outright lie backed up by an old 2011 post to an Android FanBoy site. Don't you just love the power of the Internet to mislead others?

Apple' lead in user satisfaction with the iPhone over all other smartphones appears to be so great it is untouchable.

Lets see this week it was clear it was Apple who now is in the driver's seat and Apple just dropped Samsung as a supplier for their new iPad 3 screens effective August - September 2012.

Poor Sammy or is it the poor Ferengy merchants from Star Wars where Google got the Android mascot?

We have a firm quote that the Microsoft TAX on Windows 8 to have Microsoft safely remove the crapware their partners load on top of each copy of Windows 8 will be an additional $99.

No, that was the political hero Al Gore.

Be more realistic. The chances at very good that the injunction will be upheld permanently, they generally are when they each this stage.
The question should be who bares the responsibility for selling you a banned product that you will not be able to get parts for if it is broken?
The Koreans or Google?

Has anyone else noticed that Samsung's culture's actions mirror the lovable little scoundrels, the Fringy, in Star Wars:Underworld?

Would you be so kind as to enlighten all of Slashdot of what bad patents have been issued to Apple that are being used to monopolize the market?

Prove to all of us how Apple has acquired a patent that has resulted in a monopoly they did not deserve for their American innovation?

Woud it not be more accurate to say the entanglement of business, political, and religion is what defies the true meaning of freedom?

The military is just an expression of the political teeth that can bite the government's enemies.

The same issues Google/Samsung/Motorola ran afoul off in the USA are also being brought up before governments all over the world.

Google/Motorola is preparing for a major hit where it hurts.

Could you loose your ability to speak if you have been screaming in pain and anger at adverse developments rapidly revealing themselves as you prepare to celebrate your accomplishments?

The blow to Google Android Motorola was prompted by six key congressmen who visited the FTC on Thursday and told them FRAND ABUSE as practiced by Google in protecting Android would not be tolerated as it was anti competitive. In effect they told the FTC to step up their game as they were now watching what transpires.

Overseas the EU is investigating the same FRAND ABUSE issues and is preparing to smack down Google/Motorola for the same reasons. The FTC just provided documents to the EU to help the EU build their case.

Google, Samsung, and Android just took a bunch of horrible hits.

The import and sale of the Google flag ship Nexus released Monday has just been banned in the USA by court order obtained by Apple a few hours ago.

Google's strategy of buying Motorola to protect Android using FRAND has been hit hard after six key congressmen visited the FTC Thursday and warned them FRAND ABUSE will not be tolerated in the USA either. Don't you just love an election year?

Then Google has been hit hard by Apple dropping Google maps from Apple mobile this fall. Google looses map revenue and market share while Google is forced to dump large sums into new map display technology to try to convince mobile users Google maps are better.

Is it really true you can loose your voice if you excessively scream in anger and pain?

But things went horribly wrong for Google a few hours ago.
The new Google Android flagship Nexus that was just released Monday has been banned in the USA by an emergency court injunction obtained by Apple.

To make matters worse for Google and Motorola six key senators just visited the FTC and warned them they were watching how the FTC dealt with accusations of FRAND abuse (read Google/Motorola vs Apple). Don't you just love an election year?

Be careful.
Can anyone really loose their voice by excessive screaming in anger and pain?

I wouldn't be too sure about OS X. Like many Mac users, I block FLASH as a system security precaution on OS X. If any web site insists on using FLASH I most certainly do not do continue with them.

I also have the 3rd generation iPad etc. I don't miss FLASH there either, especially the common FLASH ADVERTISING at cellular data rates for the unwanted FLASH.

I have noticed that major commercial sites that serve flash on Windows have adapted to the new reality of why their best customers began passing them up by making their own custom iPad/iPhone mobile apps.

Prove this for yourself. Go to Apples' app store and type in the name of any major vendor or manufacturer who directly sells to the public. If you do not get a hit and at least one good iPAD app that firm like RIM or Nokia isn't doing well in today's economy, probably do to bad management.

That is the new reality of the POST PC ERA. You either lose your dependence on flash or die in the new mobile market place.

WOW!

I wish I could bump this up to the top comment on H-1B at /.

Things have really changed in just a few years.

I am retired but it actually pains me to see H-1B adversely affecting so many with key skills still struggling to make a living.

I know that has to be tongue in cheek. If it is not then you and the rest of slashdot better fasten your seat belt because Israel and the USA appear to be ready to strike Iran over the nuclear issue sometime after July 1 2012. Gasoline will increase in price dramatically if not from the actual heavy weapons discharged over Iranian soil, then simply because the USA has figured out how to shut off the flow of oil using insurance companies. The Western insurance companies will no longer insure any of the super tankers leaving Iranian ports after July 1, therefore no oil for the world supply.

One way or the other there is going to be a significant spike in the cost of oil just before the US election as that Muslim state can not be permitted to obtain any more nukes. Iran already has sufficient enriched material for five nukes which the Iranian religious leaders desperately hope to use on Israel and possibly the USA.

I can not believe that I just read on SlashDot that Google was simply relying on security through obscurity to protect Bouncer and the Android Google PlayMarket.

"research without much detailed knowledge of how the Bouncer system works. Google has said little publicly about its capabilities, preferring not to give attackers any insights into the system's inner workings."

Ol Hugo has plans to do away with the shotguns. He built the first plant in South America in 2008 to produce the AK47 model 103.

The AK-103 is the most recent model of the original AK-47.

Unfortunately there was a horrible accident in 2011. Hugo's AK-47 Kalashnikov Assault Rifle factory in Venezuela mysteriously blew up and burned down, can you believe Hugo's bad luck?

He is a link to three minutes of a video of that fire and massive explosions,
http://youtu.be/tjg2uyWEfT8

Hugo's rebuilt Kalashnikov Assault Rifle AK 103 factory should be operational now or in the near future.

Then there will be plenty of the improved AK 103 to export for use in Mexico and the USA.

Naturally Hugo would not want these rugged high powered and efficient assault weapons in the hands of his own people unless they were military or police.
