Apple Can't Block US Sales of Samsung Devices 213
An anonymous reader snips this good news (for Samsung fans) from Edible Apple "In April of 2011, Apple kicked off what would soon become a global and complex series of litigation disputes when it sued Samsung in the U.S. claiming that its line of Galaxy smartphones and tablets infringed upon Apple's intellectual property and were nothing more than 'slavish' copies. As part of its suit, Apple requested a preliminary injunction that would bar Samsung from selling said products in the U.S. This past Friday, Judge Lucy Koh denied Apple's motion for a preliminary injunction."

Apple gives Samsung advice on non-patent infringing designs
In order to disprove Samsung’s claim, Apple needed to provide alternate design options to prove that Samsung did, in fact, blatantly copy Apple’s design. Some samples from these suggestions include:
Smartphones:
* Front surface that isn't black.
* Overall shape that isn't rectangular, or doesn't have rounded corners.
* Display screens that aren't centered on the front face and have substantial lateral borders.
* Non-horizontal speaker slots.
* Front surfaces with substantial adornment.
* No front bezel at all.
Tablets:
* Overall shape that isn't rectangular, or doesn't have rounded corners.
* Thick frames rather than a thin rim around the front surface.
* Front surface that isn't entirely flat.
* Profiles that aren't thin.
* Cluttered appearance.

I don't want some muslims ripping off American technology and implementing a Muslim Caliphate. Did you know that in the Muslim World, women are raped if they drive a car? That young girls cannot go to school or their heads are cut off and fed to dogs?
This is what is at stake, when terrorist groups like Samsung attack our American values. We have to defend America first, and to hell with everyone else.

They do make fans. And per ROK specifications, they come with timers.
Because, you know, fan death is a leading killer of Koreans.

I think Apple products are very nice, attractive and pretty well-made (with some notable exceptions). That being said, I have an important question to ask here:
Does loving Apple products too much make you stupid? Because I'm starting to get a little bit concerned. It seems to sort of go like this: First they get a MacBook, and they really like it. And then they get an iPhone and they really, really like it. Then they start smearing themselves with feces.
Am I wrong about this? Just scan the Anonymous Coward's comments in this article. They start right at the top and then they continue beneath any comment that criticizes Apple for this frivolous lawsuit against Samsung. Clearly it's the same person, and I'm pretty sure that wherever that AC is, he's smeared with feces.
Possibly not his own.

Maybe it's just me, but those two vehicles don't look similar.
Really? Not similiar? Hell, they're almost IDENTICAL! Both have windshields of clear glass trimmed with chrome.
Both have round steering wheels. Both have the driver's seat facing forward. They even both have four round wheels in diametrically opposite corners. I could go on and on...
