Wow! Amazing... I didn't know the copying was that bad.
Both the iPhone AND the newer Samsung product look a LOT like the older Samsung product and seem like a very logical evolution from it.
The iPhone is almost an exact copy of the older Samsung with only a chrome rim and some colour added to the icons.

Judge Berates Prosecutors In Xbox Modding Trial 285

mrbongo writes with this excerpt from Wired: "Opening statements in the first-of-its-kind Xbox 360 criminal hacking trial were delayed here Wednesday after a federal judge unleashed a 30-minute tirade at prosecutors in open court, saying he had 'serious concerns about the government's case.' ... Gutierrez slammed the prosecution over everything from alleged unlawful behavior by government witnesses, to proposed jury instructions harmful to the defense. When the verbal assault finally subsided, federal prosecutors asked for a recess to determine whether they would offer the defendant a deal, dismiss or move forward with the case that was slated to become the first jury trial of its type. A jury was seated Tuesday."

While it is true that the actual data throughput of 802.11b is less than 11mbps it can be faster than 6mbps.
There are certainly factors that have a negative impact on throughput but under controlled circumstances I've measured actual data throughput up to 7.2mbps on 802.11b. If you actually have a solid 11mbps connection (no interference, not too far from AP) this is really achievable. Of course if there are signal quality issues this number will drop.
802.11b could be but does not have to be the bottleneck in this case.
If it's just a few computers at relatively close distances to the AP it could be just fine.
