Now pointlessly enhanced with AI
From Samsung:
Consumers with either an original Galaxy Note7 or replacement Galaxy Note7 device should power down and stop using the device and take advantage of the remedies available.
One of my associates has an original Samsung Galaxy Note7 and was in the process of getting a replacement. I guess he will have to get a new phone now.
Little men with big erasers1 are saying that iPhone 6 design resembles anything but the original iPhone.
“Shameless” is not just the title of some TV Shows in the UK and the US; it is also the word many people use to describe Samsung’s Galaxy S6 phones (via Daring Fireball). Some also described it as “the lovechild of an iPhone 4 and an iPhone 6” (via The Verge).
Then there’s the “<insert name here> Pay”, just like Apple Pay (stylized as Pay).
Truly shameless.

It is a back to back news on web browsers.
First, Mozilla and Samsung are working together on new Servo web browser engine for Android and ARM. Servo itself is written in Rust, a programming language developed by Mozilla.
Should Samsung ever want to fork Android, they would have their own web browser.

Second, Google announces Blink, a new open source rendering engine based on WebKit.
In a sense that Google is in a disagreement on what direction Webkit should go.
Bring on all the different web browsers, as long as they adhere to one HTML standard.
Who designed this TV? What was it inspired by? A rotating chalkboard?
Samsung 85-inch S9 Ultra HD TV
The verdict is in, Samsung lost their case against Apple. Jury found Samsung guilty of infringing Apple’s Intellectual Property. It is pretty obvious that whatever the outcome would be, someone would file an appeal; in this case Samsung do.
I was following The Verge live coverage of the verdict when it happened.
Galaxy Nexus is no longer available for sale at Google Play US Store. Samsung’s request for a stay of injunction against the sale of Galaxy Nexus was denied by the Honorable Judge Lucy Koh.
I wonder what would happen to the Nexus-7 tablet. What if it were banned for sale in the US too? I have already preordered one and there might be a chance I wouldn’t be getting it. To be honest, I am expecting Nexus-7 to ship before Apple can do anything about it. Then again, Apple has yet to sue ASUS for any slavish copying.
Note from Vondiggity:
“Who’s laughing now? I already bought one.”
Replies from me:
“You paid $399 plus sales tax and shipping. The price is $349 plus sales tax and shipping. That $50 can get you a lot of taco on Taco Tuesday.”
I am pretty sure the it was an album title. Yep there’s an album titled “Banned in the USA” for sure.
From FOSS Patents Blog:
Apple wins U.S. preliminary injunction against the Samsung/Google Galaxy Nexus over Siri patent
Judge Lucy Koh of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California has just granted Apple a preliminary injunction against the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, an Android-based smartphone co-developed by Samsung and Google.
In the meantime, Google dropped the unlocked Galaxy Nexus price by $50 at Google Play Store; from $399 to $349. Better get it before the ban took effect.
