One of the latest signs that there’s an escalating “patent arms race” between Apple and Samsung is that Samsung in record filing more than 10 times as many European patents as rival Apple in 2013.
This is just unfortunate, a bad trend.

This is a fair question. Why did Al Franken write this letter to Tim Cook, but not a peep from him to Samsung? Samsung has clearly bitten off a much larger piece of security exposure with their approach. I smell unfair treatment.

[VIDEO] Follow the headline link for another walkthrough of the Samsung Galaxy S5. More importantly, watch the video below the post to see the fingerprint scanner setup and performance. As has been widely reported, the scanner only works when you scan your finger straight down, towards the bottom of the phone, making it difficult, if not impossible to unlock the phone with one hand.
