I don't quite understand what you're getting at. Samsung lost the case they had against Apple due to wholesale laws. The case was not about fanboyism at all because if Samsung would've been able to collect FRAND royalties off of something wholesale that a company had license to sell...meaning that the company selling wholesale already paid the royalties...it would've set a nasty precedent to allow double dipping...meaning a company could collect on royalties more than once for the same standards essential patent under FRAND.
Well, Apple doesn't have to focus on hardware as much in the smartphone market...They're focusing on OS development for that. They fired the entire iOS team that developed iOS6 and put in a few people from OSX development for iOS7...
This whole thing basically stems from a certain 3G antenna used in the CDMA version of the iPhone 4...You see, Infineon was the designer of that 3G Antenna...and they were allowed to sell those chips to Apple as wholesale. That meant Apple didn't have to pay royalties on the standard essential patents used to design the chips...Specifically, all Samsung did was write the optional BIOS embedded into the logic of those chips. That equated to less than 1/1000% of the patent...
I do have it on good authority that Apple does in fact have a metalergy patent for the graphite-based heat sinks it uses in its mobile devices to dissipate heat. Hardware design might not change externally by design, but the arangement and guts of the devices do.
I'm sure I'm likely to get flogged for saying this...but I'm glad at least that Apple did win this case. Even if Apple didn't get the amount they wanted, if they hadn't won, a victory for Samsung would've opened the FRAND market to double-dipping through wholesale production.
It'd be useful to spy on those countries. We'd get a clear look at how people really feel vs what they are told to feel by their suppressive leaders. What establishes most of that trust is that the US gvt contracts and funds these projects rather than run them itself...
I honestly think that even if some of these programs initially fail...they are still successful in raising the awareness that some countries actually try to oppress basic human rights. It's simply unfortunate that such countries now use our survalince scandal as propaganda...but I think the genuine intent of the program will eventually outweigh politics for the greater sense of good.
The meshes are meant to stop digital spying in those countries...Believe it or not...citizens of countries that censor the Internet, are more heavily monitored than the NSA did us...The mesh is also a means to help get around such censorship from the outside world.

Eminent Domain can be abused, but given that MPAA production companies often make cities (hello I'm from Ohio, we don't give Disney or Tigue Productions (Kevin Costner's Production Company) pay and then give tax breaks for filming here, "Frick's Law" is only fair and reasonable.

Yeah.
So whose fault is it?

We have one of those towns in Ohio...Bixly....and the Village of Bixly, Ohio lost its mayorship and was annexed into a neighboring town.
