2. Comment - Trapped motorist triggers nationwide LG handset recall

   Actually ... it is a requirement for a phone to be able to be used for emergencies at all times ( granted it is capable of making a call ... a crushed phone for example would not be required to do so ).
   
   The rediculous notion that in a lightning storm where the phone cannot make a call ( due to the fact that it simply could not perform its function in any manner ) is absurd.
   
   Basically if the phone is capable of placing a call, as this phone was, then it should be able to keep the call connected , as this phone could not( to 911 ... not a random number ). That is why it is recalled. Not because it was out of service area.

   They are actually adhesive bandages ( Band-Aids ). And Biro is what they ( ballpoint pens ) are called by British English and other Commonwealth countries.
   
   Other such genericized trademarks include Windex, Q-tip, and Life Savers.

4. Comment - Samsung makes a hostile bid for SanDisk

   I will not point out the many times which you missuse "big" words to try and seem smarter than you truly are. The point of a large vocabulary is to use the best possible word to convey your point to the target audience, not to try and sound smarter than them. It especially does not work when you use the words incorrectly.
   
   Moving on to the point. Of course Samsung is obviously placing a bid that undervalues Sandisk. It would be foolish to pay more than the company is worth, or even exactly what it is worth. Samsung is not in the position it is in today by losing money.
   With a basic economics lesson you would know that it is merely a factof buying low and selling high. Good business sense dictates to buy as low as possible to make a profit, not the other way around.
   
   To top off the fact that it is an undervalued bid, look no further than Sandisk's board rejecting the offer based on that fact. Who knows more about the company's worth than them? Surely not you or I.

5. Comment - HP to make Microsoft Live Search its system default

   If the leveraging is merely a monetary reward for the act, it is far from illegal or any more wrong tahn any other reward for similar acts.
   
   Just because they have more money does not make the actions they take any more horrible than a " poorer " company ( All the others are at very least multi-million dollar companies).
