Hopefully Sammy does not try to poison the well saying the whole smart phone market is slowing down vs the company not executing well.

ProBoards 5 is less space-efficient, but hey. That's "progress".

Well, JD's read is a valid one. Samsung the Destroyer, now Samsung the Canary in the Coal Mine so of Course Apple is Doomed. There's bound to be "news coverage" or "journalism" or whatever you call it on that take soon.
I'm reminded of someone who hyperfocused on the here-and-now profit growth or something of Samsung. Well, it being an established, always-bigger-than-Apple chaebol mega-conglomerate, it was easy to see where much of it was coming from. And what would happen once the, ahem, "sugar rush" faded away. But I wasn't expecting this!
You have to track financials over time in their proper context. What happens over the next several quarters for Samsung will be fascinating stuff.

We're green in the AH, so smarter heads prevail in the very short term.

Michael Bay had an "emotional impact" on me. Sinofsky was SO much more composed. Can't believe I'm saying this, but I kinda hope Samsung didn't pay his appearance fee or whatever. "Dude, the TV's awesome." You need to be SCRIPTED for that? iruletheworld's comment on the Verge article was amusing, and not mine.

TRY to stay focused! It is COLD up here! Wimps. When we lived just outside of Duluth Minnesota, I can remember waiting for the school bus when it was -36F below and -67F below with the wind chill factor. I was wearing Bass Weeguns with no socks an Autumn jacket and the bus broke down.

All responsible megacorps have currency hedging strategies IIRC (warning: not a forex type). Can't prevent all the downside risk, but sure as heck can manage it. I never hear Apple complain much about forex. I cannot wait to hear Samsung's official line on why its financials are below analyst expectations. The "invincible" "upstart" apparently isn't either of those.

iPad - shoutbox actually looks kinda borken.
There's no way I can see in either Firefox or Safari to actually post. "Return"/enter used to work, it doesn't now.

Apple will find a way through this...it's too strong, too profitable, too sticky, and too damn competent at what it does. Let's try adding an image to illustrate this.
