How about that Samsung/Apple verdict? How did Apple not end up infringing Samsung patents? The reporting I read said Apple never fought against the claim that they infringed???

The main problem was the judge didn't let Samsung show all the evidence of prior art from SONY and other places. In appeal, they will try to show that prior art, and hopefully that will result in all the patents being invalidated.
As much as I generally like Apple and the products they make, I think everyone in this case is in the wrong. Something needs to be done about the underlying issue of software patents being overly broad, unoriginal, and hurting smaller companies and startups (and innovation as a whole) just to pad corporate bank accounts.

Patents, if done properly aren't a bad thing per se. The problem is that too many overly broad patents are being done -- enough to block out entire market segments due to these broad patents. It also doesn't hurt that the average patent clerk is overworked and maybe even underqualified -- we don't have Einstein working in the patent office anymore.
God dammit, Iran; You are part of my heritage. Why do you always have to be so fucking disgraceful? I don't know why the ninja women there don't rise up and take over.
Maybe they already have. Maybe Ammedinijad is just a figurehead, and they're manipulating the press to reverse pronoun genders. Sure, it SAYS they're refusing women, but how do we know it isn't the other way around?

I am still baffled that nothing is being done about Syria. I fully understand the reasons but man it doesn't still well with me. Least of all when the UK news is focusing on other bollocks.

Russia and China have vetoed or threatened to veto any action.
China today is not the same as China 100 years ago. Governmentally they are very different. Whether that change had anything to do with religion directly is irrelevant because China is no longer the same China.
It's like a new company buying out an old company and then trying to use the purchased company's history to make theirs look better.... (SBC/AT&T).
Vatican is likely the most similar to it's founding self.
It's had less time to corrupt itself (it didn't become a sovereign nation from Rome until the mid 19th Century when Garibaldi convinced it to seceed so he could unite the rest of Italy) and due to its size and role in the Catholic church, people are more like minded than most other countries.
But there has almost always been a China, so at any given point in the past, the statement was true. Derp.
Egypt too, among others.
Any point in the past?
The irony that one non-christian nation was overthrown by another non-christian power who decided to keep the former nations name and borders appears to be lost on you (and would also be lost on those ppl you mention on some other website.)
If you were to jump in and say, "what about China, they around for long long ling time," someone would chime in that Mao overthrew the emporer not too long ago...
That's not the point. They simply have to exist right now.
A better response would be to ask the religious nuts to prove their assertion. Ask them to point to a few nations that ceased to exist specifically due to the decline of religion within their borders and government.

edit; I would even go so far as to try to shoot them.

So using China as an example is bad.
