I've been obsessed with consumer technology for about as long as I can remember, be it video games, photography, or mobile devices. If you can plug it in, I have to own it. Preparing for the day when Android finally becomes self-aware and I get to welcome our new robot overlords.

  1. Issue reported.
    Good initiative!

    BTW, have you heard about Samsung’s very likely upcoming victory in Germany?
    As it looks like I can’t post a link, just Google “samsungs new prior art likely to trump”

  2. lol, some of the the user reviews at:
    https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

    (the google play services app)
    are hilarious!!!

    Can’t beat the level 8 boss! Best book I’ve ever read! Stuck on level 7!
    xD

    1. lol have you seen this one XD
      Great sellerA++++++ package arrived quick and in top condition. Would purchase from again. Thanks again.
      not sure if they thought they were on ebay or actually meant to write this lol

  3. Samsung’s at it again. They going to f..k up their appeal process before it even starts. Why not just appeal, and gather all your claims and evidence methodically for the process?!

    1. That’s how an appeal starts. All companies do this. This is business 101. Read up.

  4. Interviews by jurors are proof enough of misconduct.

    1. All Samsung’s lawyers really need to do is fire up a projector and load up that interview of the jury foreman. That took the trial to a whole other level of stupid, in my opinion.

  5. UCCW update was the best one!
