Samsung smartphone market share peaked in 2013 and dropped to really nothing, well before the Note 7 scandal. It really has nothing whatsoever to do with the Note 7. http://english.hani.co.kr/arti/english_edition/

Samsung's earnings have been hit, but not by similar factors. Samsung's declining earnings has all to do with the declining memory price. The company had been under pressure to increase production to lower the price of memory pro

China's NDRC's antitrust findings were later affirmed by counterparts in South Korea, Taiwan, and the EU who found the same violations in their investigation in 2016 and 2017. Now, are you also arguing that there is no law in tho

Yes, I'm talking about wireless modems, not SOCs. I wasn't asking your opinion on what wireless licensing ought to be; this licensing model has long been upheld by regulators and accepted by companies around the world for decades.

First, wasn't Infineon always on the 3G/4G scene? > It is only because Qualcomm can't go against Mediatek on its home soil, they went after their channel, and clients in courts. Qualcomm, or wireless patent holders in gene

Samsung, a monopoly? I don't know why anyone would say that unless you are a mainlander Chinese/Taiwanese. And what gov't contracts? Unlike what China is doing today, there was no such overt protectionist gov't policies

that's not going to solve the problem. Qualcom is the largest wireless patent holder and Apple would still have to pay royalties.

New Yorkers earning $18.60/hr are not going to pay $1,600/month for a single-bedroom apt in NYC. Yes, NYC is an expensive city, but not every Amazon warehouse worker has to live in Manhattan or Brooklyn Heights. There are actuall

There is probably a lot of that going on everywhere. There are some studies done to demonstrate that such possible bias exists even in America -- eg, "Xenophobia in American Courts" KA Moore. I noticed some oddities during the epi

Ughg, what the previous poster is insinuating is that she wasn't arrested because she's the daughter of Huawei CEO, but because of her role as CFO of the company violating US sanction.

That was 40 years ago. I read about this movement from William Easterly's Elusive Quest for Growth when I was young, still in college. It changed almost everything I thought I learned about poverty and development economics.

Well, did Samsung promise this notification feature in their marketing campaign? I considered buying one for this exact feature, but decided not to buy it after TMobile sales folks confirmed that notification worked with Samsung apps only.

I know so b/c I grew up and lived in NYC since 1990. It's somewhat laughable to hear someone who claims to know so much about the city where the median median income is only $55k making such absurd claims to justify NYPD cops&#x2

No, wrong. It's not sooooo much expensive to live in NY unless you live in Manhattan along with bankers and media tycoons. In fact, most folks who work in Manhattan still come from outer boroughs and suburbs like LI, Queens and Brook

It's not too surprising for a city where a policeman can make $150k (base and overtime) year just after 8 years in service.

No, no, no. Intel doesn't have a license with Qualcomm. In recent decisions made by regulators in the EU, South Korea, Taiwan, etc, Qualcomm was accused and fined precisely for their unwillingness to license their IPs to competing bas
