Two companies trying to monopolize on a technology by discrediting each other with patent violations is so childish. I'm sure there is enough room on the market, for both of them to produce the same damn product.

WOW! $12,000 for a 55 inch TV. Hold on, let me sell a kidney and I can afford it. I mean really. 12 grand so that the time your sitting on your rump is just that much more expensive.

Seriously, back in the days when most people worked there asses of to achieve something while still being honest was considered with very high respect. But I'm straying of topic maybe =)
