Samsung to pay Apple another $290 million for patent infringement

Apple is probably happier with this number than Samsung is. During the trial, Apple's attorney made clear that it wanted $380 million while Samsung only felt it had to pay $52 million. The outcome of $290 million is far closer to what Apple wanted to take than what Samsung wanted to give. Both sides did manage to agree that Samsung sold 10.7 million infringing devices.

The problem is, almost a decade later, no one knows how it was done.

Samsung Sweden to Linux User: "UEFI BIOS Bug Not Our Problem"
Submitted by l33tdawg on Thu, 2013-10-31 00:29
Linux is a common operating system, not least in its Android version, and it is universally assumed that a PC (or whatever “IBM compatible” is called these days) will be able to run it.
