Well the patent is about pre-showing the next or previous photo when sliding the current photo to the side. That's what Samsung was guilty off.

In this case a lot of cultural references (like h2g2.co.uk) will be kept.
Whether it's legal or not, it is our duty to preserve our culture.

But, this key is the master key, who is Intel to say who can use that key and who can't?
Will Intel sue Sony for use of this key in their BluRay players under the DMCA? (Yes, please?)
It's the correct use of the key, there is nothing being circumvented.
I'm sure they'll tout the list of "approved" hardware manufacturers. But right now that list is made of companies that are willing/stupid enough to pay the extortion money (If you pay us this amount, we won't sue you for use of this key).
The DMCA can only be used when a copyright protection scam^wscheme is cracked... nothing is cracked here, a valid master key is being used in the way it's supposed to work.
If someone enters my house using a copy of my (master) key, I can't legally call it breaking and entering, because nothing is broken. A lock and key is used the way it is intended.

North Korea Linux (Red Star OS) Review->

JimLynch writes "There was an announcement a while back that North Korea had come out with its own version of Linux (called Red Star OS). I dropped by the official North Korean site, and found their contact information. I sent a polite email asking for a download link for their distro, but I never heard back from anybody. This was rather rude on their part, or perhaps they just don’t have people who can read English answering their email. Anyway, I wasn’t able to get a download link until today."

dkd903 writes "A rumor has been going around for about four months that Valve was working on a Linux version of Steam and this had a lot of people in the Linux community very excited. But, Valve has now officially killed the rumor. And it is not what people wants to hear – there is no Linux version of Steam in development. Doug Lombardi, the Marketing VP of Valve Corporation, in an interview, has put an end to all the rumors by saying that they are not working on Steam for Linux right now."

System testers have to know what the corner cases are. They can't guess them all
That's why you need proper documentation, like use cases, technical designs. Often (and preferably) written by analists and not the developers.
Preferably you have a setup like this:
Business analyst writes documentation based on requirements from the business.
Developers build the application, based on the documentation.
Testers write testcases based on the documentation and test the software as soon as it is released to them.
Testing is a profession too.
And there are many tools and methodologies (TMap, ISTQB, Testframe etc) to ensure proper test-coverage and to have anything meaningful to say about the quality of the tested application.
