I'm not sure about Samsung, but find me an instance of Google suing someone without being sued first, and no Motorola before Google bought them does not count. Google has not been a patent dick.

There are also some open patent pools that will also help stop the abuses of ... certain companies. Of course, the laws really need to be changed. No software patents, FRAND charges defining 'reasonable' in dollars or percentages, etc.

It's a common cause of confusion. Certain behaviours and tendencies can be attributed to specific cultures. I really wish people would realize that culture is learned, can be changed, and includes both good and bad aspects. The bad aspects of cultures should be changed, but it's touchy because it often gets ibnncorrectly equated to race.

Most people that claim high availability almost *never* make any changes to anything. The mainframe world is rife with resistance to change because of it. High availability is easy if you never change anything. Most of the outages with most systems are caused by human error, and most happen when deploying updates. High availability seems to carry a lot of weight, but usually doesn't cover all it should.
