Samsung has just had their product ruled demonstrably inferior by a court of law. Not exactly a marketing message they want celebrate.

Unless you've invented a device to transmit people's thoughts and intentions, then their words are all we have to go by.

Yeah, I'm over 40, and my father was a software guy before me (still working for Adobe).

You have color graphics? I'm still using my monochrome 80 column card...
