The Pittsburgh native behind the cartoon powerhouse died on Thursday, two days before his 85th birthday, Scheimer's wife Mary Ann said on Sunday.
The Los Angeles Times reported that Scheimer's company was the largest animation operation in the country in the early 1980s by number of employees.
Scheimer, who graduated with an art degree from the Carnegie Institute of Technology, founded the company in 1962 with a $5,000 loan from his mother-in-law and opened a one-room office in Southern California. His first big hit was The New Adventures of Superman, and the studio went on to work on series including He-Man and the Masters of the Universe and The Archie Show.
Bounce TV / AP
In 1969, Filmation was sold to a cable operator that was bought by Westinghouse. Scheimer continued to head Filmation but was told to cut costs and in 1987 announced that some work would be shipped overseas.
In 1989, Filmation was bought by a French investor group that closed the company's Woodland Hills plant and fired most employees.
Scheimer retired several years ago. He is survived by his wife, his daughter, Erika and his son, Lane.

George's first Christmas with the royal family at Sandringham should be quite the occasion this month. And hopefully it's half as festive as these photos, taken by spoof photographer Alison Jackson and featuring familiar lookalikes of the royal family.
Alison Jackson / REX USA
Jackson staged similar photos last December, when William and Kate were expecting their baby – and were seen unwrapping polka-dot onesies and other baby presents.
Alison Jackson / REX USA
Now, of course, George is on the scene and very much the center of attention, decked out in a cute set of antlers and eagerly accepting gifts hauled in by uncle Harry – as Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles and Camilla join the festivities.

This isn't George's first appearance in a Jackson production, either. Back in October, she released a similarly amusing set of pics showing William and Kate at home with their bouncing baby boy.

So I have gone back to look up the paragraph from his blog:
I'm 100-percent healed from my big injury that sidelined us during such an exciting season last year. Feeling like my old self again made me conscious of the fact that my body may have been compensating long before pain let me know that something was wrong. It feels so good to be on the other side of that hurdle, but I am more aware now of my own mortality as an athlete. None of us are guaranteed a certain amount of "sport life." It was never in my nature to be a nervous competitor, but this year should be extra enjoyable just to have the gift of training and competition back once again.

GEN News Highlights : Feb 28, 2013
Distributed Computing Meets Drug Discovery
A new not-for-profit with a biopharma focus is working to create a community of researchers willing to give unused computer time toward discovering and investigating new small molecules for drugs to fight diseases.
It's the same approach employed by the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence at Home ([email protected]), the world's largest distributed computing effort and a project of the University of California-Berkeley. Since 1985, more than three million volunteers have allowed their Internet-connected computers to help [email protected] fulfill its mission of exploring, understanding, and explaining the origin, nature, and prevalence of life across the universe.
Quantum Cures Foundation co-founder Lawrence Husick says his group's short-term goal is to raise $500,000 to accelerate its work and build the software out more quickly for more platforms. The foundation envisions tens of thousands of users of desktop computer, mobile tablets, and even smartphones worldwide—both researchers and hobbyists—allowing their devices to be used for research purposes during off-hours.
The foundation will focus primarily on orphan and rare diseases as it builds its community, which it hopes will replicate [email protected] in size. While it won't be the first distributed computing effort in life-sci—[email protected], based at Stanford University, links 165,634 computers worldwide to examine how proteins fold—Quantum Cures will allow disease-focused groups to form teams and contribute computing capacity to solve problems of interest to them.
"The speed with which solutions come will be directly proportional to the number of people who jump on board, wanting to solve that particular disease problem," Husick told GEN. "Things like malaria and schistosomiasis are certainly high on our list, but it's really up to the individual researchers to propose to us a particular target that they would like us to work on, to try to build them a candidate list of small molecules. They will drive this process."
Husick, an early [email protected] user, is a partner at the law firm Lipton Weinberger & Husick, and co-founder, in-house counsel, and CIO of TeraDiscoveries, which uses an in-silico drug design software and substitutes cloud-computing techniques for wet chemical synthesis and biological assay of drug candidates.
TeraDiscoveries is contributing its Inverse Design software, developed with Duke University and Microsoft, at cost to the effort, whose BOINC open-source software platform is set for a second-quarter launch. UC Berkeley makes BOINC available for crowdsourced computing purposes that include biopharma research.
A free screensaver needed to take part in Quantum Cures will be available by the end of June on a limited basis at the group's website, www.quantumcures.org.
The foundation is talking to groups focused on particular rare and orphan diseases, as well as researchers, to establish a queue of problems to be tackled.
"Where we contribute is in bridging the chasm between a protein structure of a target, and having a drug candidate molecule with the right characteristics, such that it will be synthesizable, drugable, nontoxic, and bioavailable," said Husick, who developed the prototype of his first commercial search system, Homework Helper, on a NeXT computer given him by Steve Jobs himself.
"We're working with these groups that fund or coordinate the research in an effort to identify those researchers who may have protein targets that are implicated in the disease, but perhaps do not have the wherewithal in time or money or both to screen the millions of potential drug candidates in the old way, doing it in the laboratory using wet chemistry," he added.
Husick holds five U.S. patents related to two Internet research sites, Electric Library and Encyclopedia.com. Both were launched by Infonautics Corp. (now HighBeam Research), where he was co-founder and principal system architect.
Quantum Cures has named board members and technical advisors that include:
Quantum Cures timed its announcement to coincide with today's sixth annual international Rare Disease Day. The day's sponsor is EURORDIS, a nongovernmental alliance representing 561 rare disease patient groups in 51 countries worldwide.

Eliminating outdoor cleaning of pavements and cars is an excellent way to save water. The best way to clean outdoors is to get out the broom and sweep. The amount of water you save is, of course, determined by the amount of water you normally use for these purposes.
A typical hose runs at a flow rate of 5 to 8 gallons per minute (gpm), but can run as high as 10 gpm. If your hose runs at 7 gpm, then a five minute driveway hose-down uses 35 gallons of water and a 15 minute car wash uses 105 gallons of water.
Eliminating your weekly five minute pavement hose-down could save between 625 and 2500 gallons of water per year depending on the flow rate and frequency of use.
If your car desperately needs a bath, take it to a car wash that recycles water. You could also use some old rags and a bucket of water to do the job with much less water waste.
If you must hose down pavements or wash your car, be sure to attach a shutoff hose nozzle on your garden hose. A good quality hose nozzle should not leak or drip when in the off position. Check to make sure that your hose is not leaking at the hose bib connection either. A hose washer will usually take care of hose bib leaks.

D'Youville College has purchased the former headquarters of Gateway-Longview on Niagara Street for $730,000, college officials announced Saturday.
D'Youville does not have any specific plans yet for the 65,000-square-foot structure, at 605 Niagara St., between Jersey Street and Prospect Avenue, officials said.
"Depending on our needs, the facility will eventually be used for classrooms, offices and possible teaching laboratories for health care programs," college spokesman D. John Bray said in a statement.
The building was constructed in phases starting in 1890 and was originally the Buffalo Deaconess Home of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
It was later the Protestant Home for Unprotected Children, according to the statement.
Gateway-Longview, a child and family services organization, moved to its new location at 10 Symphony Circle in Buffalo last year.
The deal was handled by McGuire Development Real Estate Service Group.

TRUCKEE, Calif. — Performing Artists For Seniors, along with Sierra Senior Services, invite seniors to participate in another exciting hands-on art project with local installation artist Jane Jenny on Friday, Sept. 21 at 1 p.m. at the Truckee Donner Senior Apartments. Jenny will lead the seniors in creating a colorful wooden welcome sign for their front door or entry.
Volunteers from the Lahontan Golf Club brought several artistic events to Truckee seniors and residents of the Truckee Donner Senior Apartments this summer. On July 19, back for their second year in a row, the students attending Moody's Jazz Camp led by JJ Morgan performed a jazz jam session live for the seniors. Marcela Smith, Lahontan Golf Club member and founder of Performing Artists For Seniors, instructed the seniors to tear up sheet music to demonstrate a method used by the award-winning musicians who teach at the week-long jazz camp. What ensued was a one-hour "front row seat" into techniques used to teach learning a song by feeling it, rather than reading the notes. Many of the children broke out into solos and the audience clapped along to the beat of familiar tunes.
On Aug. 7, Lahontan residents Art and Colleen Chapman provided a shuttle bus for 10 smiling seniors to travel to a private concert in the park at Lahontan. During the warm summer evening, volunteers from Lahontan including Anne Birdsong, Anne Rusello, Suzanne Smith, and Colleen Haig provided and served a homemade meal while enjoying conversations and laughter with their special guests.
On Aug. 16, artist Jane Jenny, a Lahontan member and Lake Tahoe resident helped the seniors create what she calls "fish stakes," using recycled materials left over from a construction project. Jenny and her husband Ron cut the recycled wooden stakes into the shape of long fish, and then glued on triangular pieces of wood for fins. Participants then fastened a wire to their fish and used bright paint to create colorful fish to take home and display on their walls. Lahontan residents Patty Dean, Glennis Jones, Colleen Haig and Kayley Jones provided refreshments and helped facilitate the project.
Performing Artists for Seniors provides cultural entertainment to low-income seniors in the Truckee area. Their mission is to provide an interactive experience and encourage the seniors to make new friends. Many are on fixed incomes and cannot afford tickets to attend cultural events while others simply value the variety of experiences offered through this organization.
For more information on attending the last art project of the season visit www.pafs.org, www.sierraseniors.org or call Sierra Senior Services at 530-587-2408.

Buffalo's "Cars Sharing Main Street" project is proceeding, with construction to bring two-way traffic to the 500 block, between Chippewa and Mohawk streets, scheduled to begin in the fall.
Mayor Byron W. Brown, standing with the Main Street construction and passing trains as his backdrop, announced Tuesday that the city awarded Mark Cerrone Inc. the $15.7 million contract to reconstruct the 500 block.
The entire 500 block project, including planning and design costs, will cost $21 million. A $15 million federal grant, which was won last year, and $10 million from the state will fund the redevelopment.
Cerrone was also the successful bidder for the ongoing 600 block construction, an $8 million project, that will bring traffic back to Buffalo's Theater District between West Tupper and Chippewa streets.
As the 600 block construction concludes "sometime in the fall," the 500 block construction will begin "simultaneously," according to Brown. It will take 16 months from that point to be completed.
"It will transform Main Street into one of the most-complete streets in the entire State of New York," he said.
The costs vary widely for each block of the project due to the different constraints of each, city sources said.
Public Works Commissioner Steven J. Stepniak explained how the trains, cars, bikes and pedestrians will share the strip once construction is complete.
The project includes installation of new curbs, sidewalks, street lights and traffic signals.
Brown said Main Street is "ripe for investment," and the 600 and 500 blocks are seeing over $70 million in private sector spending.
He said Main Street's no-traffic rail system, which was installed in the 1980s, "essentially killed retail in downtown Buffalo." This city is optimistic that opening up Main Street for traffic and parking will revitalize the strip, he said.
It would cost $10 million for the project to continue to Lafayette Square and an additional $30 million to extend it to Church Street, Stepniak said. He said he feels the city will be successful in "working with our partners in state and federal government" to secure money.
The 500 and 600 block projects are a continuation of the $2.2 million 700 block project, which brought two-way traffic to that section of Main Street in 2009.

Wal-Mart, Target and Kmart all turn 50 this year
Expect to see much written this year about a huge coincidence that happened 50 years ago.
Like baby boomers who are turning 50 in record numbers, the stores they grew up shopping in celebrate the same milestone in 2012.
It's a retail coincidence that in 1962 the first Wal-Mart, Target and Kmart stores opened in Rogers, Ark., Roseville, Minn., and Garden City, Mich., respectively.
Target has some big plans, a spokeswoman said. Wal-Mart does too, including a countdown clock on a special website.
Texas was one of the first states where Target and Wal-Mart opened stores.
Target opened its first Texas store in 1968 on Montford Road in north Dallas. It's one of the oldest in the chain outside of Minnesota where it's headquartered.
It took Wal-Mart a little longer. Its first Texas store opened in 1975 in Mount Pleasant, 100 miles east of Dallas. Why Mount Pleasant? This is the story I've been told a few times:
Back then, Sam Walton often picked stores in small towns with air strips, or at least a dirt road that he could land his plane on. And Texas had a deer hunting season that filled in part of the year when he couldn't hunt in Arkansas or Missouri.

UNIVERSITY PARK - No. 18 Michigan State put a dent in the Nittany Lion Inn Wednesday morning. Wednesday evening, the Spartans inflicted Payne on the Nittany Lion basketball team at the Jordan Center.
MSU forward Adreian Payne sat for the first 23 minutes of the game against Penn State as punishment for a morning fight with a teammate that damaged a wall at the team hotel and resulted in police being called to the scene.
But Payne dominated the action once he took the floor at the 16:37 mark of the second half, scoring 16 points in less than six minutes as the Spartans (15-3, 4-1 Big Ten) broke open a tight game on the way to an 81-72 victory.
"He hit some great shots," PSU coach Pat Chambers said. "Fade-away 15-footers, 3-pointers. ... He was energized obviously by what happened so he was ready to go. He did some great things and we didn't have that punch-back when he came in."
"I was excited," said Payne, who finished with a career-high 20 points in less than 17 minutes overall. "I felt like a dog let out of a cage."
The Nittany Lions, who played their best basketball of the Big Ten season before Payne and sparring partner Branden Dawson were finally allowed on the floor (and then again after Payne's scoring outburst) remained winless in the conference (0-5) and dropped below .500 overall (8-9).
The loss tarnished career-best scoring games by PSU guards Jermaine Marshall (29 points and 10 rebounds) and D.J. Newbill (27 points and six assists).
"We were just trying to will our team to a win," Newbill said. "But we lost. So to us the numbers are just a shadow."
Penn State led 36-35 when Marshall hit a layup with 15:16 left in the game. Fresh off the bench, the athletic 6-foot-10 Payne responded with his first bucket 15 seconds later - a short jumper - and MSU would never trail again. By the time Payne completed his 16-point barrage with 9:11 showing, the Lions were in a double-digit hole.
Payne would not make a field goal the rest of the way. But it didn't matter as his teammates were back in the flow.
Penn State, meanwhile, got outstanding efforts from Marshall and Newbill but virtually nothing from their teammates. With four minutes left in the game - and MSU up a comfortable dozen - Nittany Lions not named Marshall or Newbill had accounted for all of 14 points.
Penn State would eventually cut the lead to five twice in the final two minutes (71-66 and 73-68), both on Marshall slashes to the basket. But MSU responded both times and eventually locked up the win by making 9 of 10 free throws in the final 42 seconds.
"We need help from some other positions," Chambers said. "Guys need to step up. We can't be a two-man show all season long."
And yet even with only two men doing the bulk of the heavy lifting, Penn State finally found its offensive rhythm in a conference game. In four previous Big Ten outings, the Lions averaged 49.5 points.
"For us to get 72 [points], we haven't seen that in a long time," Chambers said. "We need to get stops. We had a great opportunity tonight. I felt like we let one slip away."
Game notes: No charges stemmed from the hotel scuffle between road roommates Payne and Dawson at the Nittany Lion Inn. MSU coach Tom Izzo, who made the duo face a packed media room after the game, said they will pay for a hole they created after they crashed into a wall. ... Both players apologized profusely for the incident. "I feel embarrassed and I want to apologize to Penn State and our program," Payne said. ... The Lions' starting frontcourt of Brandon Taylor (0 of 6), Ross Travis (1 of 2) and Sasa Borovnjak (1 of 5) scored six total points. ... Penn State is back in action Saturday when Nebraska visits the BJC for a 1 p.m. tip.

WSJ confirms HTC One launch delay, UltraPixel camera components to blame
0. phoneArena 19 Mar 2013, 08:44 posted on
Insiders say that Peter Chou pledged his executive position last year, if the HTC One sales don't pan out, and the launch delay isn't helping to offset that pledge. Given what the One offers compared to its competition, the sales are more than likely to be decent, once those component shortages are resolved, but still HTC's CEO has something to really worry about now...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
1. khaledmhawesh (Posts: 38; Member since: 14 Mar 2013)
The biggest problem right know if this ultra pixel cant beat the 13mp on the s4
6. Nathan_ingx (Posts: 3751; Member since: 07 Mar 2012)
Lumia 720 already did that... And that in low light shots.
S4 isn't the only phone that exists you know.
26. SleepingOz (unregistered)
But based on the GSIV samples, it's the only SMARTphone that managed to produce better photos than the ip5.
36. Nathan_ingx (Posts: 3751; Member since: 07 Mar 2012)
Oohohoho...no you don't!
You want me to come out at you with the 808, eh? No thanks man...
52. SleepingOz (unregistered)
I wrote SMARTphone on purpose! Not a cameraphone with some smartphone features.. =]
54. Nathan_ingx (Posts: 3751; Member since: 07 Mar 2012)
That's what you always come up with... Cameraphone with smartphone features...that's all you can say.
And you guys talk about how Nokia fans keep talking 'only' about the camera.
808 might not have a grand hardware like any of the flagship Android devices, but it still is a very capable smartphone. Symbian 60 OS owned smartphone world before Android even saw the light of day.
57. Nathan_ingx (Posts: 3751; Member since: 07 Mar 2012)
...and just because Android succeeded Symbian or any OS, it doesn't mean you have to downsize it's capability.
58. SleepingOz (unregistered)
Yup S60 was considered as an Smart OS until Symbian 3. lol
60. Nathan_ingx (Posts: 3751; Member since: 07 Mar 2012)
And that's ^3, successor of S60...in 2010, not so long ago. It's a full smartphone OS if you don't mind me saying.
And need i remind you that S60 was also used in Sony and Samsung devices??
55. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
ohh your still spewing your crap i see
the 808 is a smartphone, just because it runs symbian and has less power doesnt take away from this. symbian on a single core runs as smooth as android on quad core. it can also do everything needed that android does. all it doesnt have is a ecosystem as its now dead. but that dead os can do things easier then your precious android..........ohh and has the customisation you love to brag about
so please stop been so blinded
59. SleepingOz (unregistered)
ohh you're still bitter about your inferior OS, I see..
Can your 808 do this? Symbian doesn't even support real time multitasking. I doubt, it'll be able to handle a simple live wallpaper.

Perhaps HTC is taking its time to release the HTC One in Ultrapixel variant and another with regular-sized pixels (which will probably sell way more than the one with the hyped camera), say 8 or 12 MP.. Just saying...
12. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
It isn't even the camera sensor problems. It is the fact that HTC can't play at Sammy's level. The GS IV will ship on time and in promised quantities. Behind the splash of the announcement, there is the hard work to have product available to fill orders and get carriers lined up to offer your toys to their customers. There are presently two A level players at that game - Apple and Sammy. Everyone else is at level B or lower.
14. voxmarc (Posts: 332; Member since: 22 Aug 2012)
true....that's the camera alone...what if they ran a production problem on alum body....tsk tsk tsk....
37. Diego! (Posts: 573; Member since: 15 Jun 2009)
They already are. It turns out the supplier considers HTC as a second-class customer... :/ check out...http://pocketnow.com/2013/03/1
62. voxmarc (Posts: 332; Member since: 22 Aug 2012)
they should have learned from Sammy,last year S3 was suppose to launch with 13mp camera module from sony that's Sammy plan,but sony cannot produce the quantity Sammy needs, so they end up with 8mp 3months before the launch last year...

HTCOne has a problem on metal back cover it took 200 minutes to make 1 cover and camera shortage. Samsung tested aluminum and metal back cover too but decided to used polycarbonate easy to produce and light weight.

Better safe than sorry man....if a delay means a better camera then people should want to wait...
He made the right decision.
19. MrJerry (Posts: 403; Member since: 05 Oct 2012)
And they are losing their money...a lot..
There are 5 types of customers:
Loyal: They are going to wait anyway like you said
Potential: Could be yours or others - HTC will lose
Impulse: No particular reason. They will purchase what seems good at the time - HTC will lose
Discount: - N/A
Geeks and other company's: Hard to pursuade - HTC will lose
To sum up, they will lose everything except for what they already have

I'm not upset...that's what you might think cause all you think is people who don't have written support for Samsung is against it.
I said that because -bone- posted the same post somewhere else too. You don't even know why i commented that...and you assume me upset.
You know what they say..."Don't assume. You'll make and 'ass' (of)'u'(and)'me'."

39. Diego! (Posts: 573; Member since: 15 Jun 2009)
I've seen pictures of both phones and I must admit HTC One has incredible pics but they don't come even close to Samsung Galaxy S 4. HTC One pics have a lot of detail but also a lot of 'noise'.
16. voxmarc (Posts: 332; Member since: 22 Aug 2012)

It's already been confirmed that the HTC One camera is not great but can hold it's own against the major players like Lumia 920, iPhone 5, SGS3 and I think even SGS4.
Delays might hurt HTC Ones sales a lot more than Camera shortcomings IMO.
7. Diego! (Posts: 573; Member since: 15 Jun 2009)
Couldn't HTC forecast this??? Geez, they need to speed up their production ASAP!
10. bubbadoes (Posts: 957; Member since: 03 May 2012)
People--don't get caught up on the idea of big is better---in that case Apple will just slap a 15 mp camera on the next iphone and it's automatically better. Not the case. Mexapixel size is just the quality of the image. You can have a 13mp camera, but if the lens are crappy, then what's the point. You can shoot a decent 8 mp photo of superior quality on ANY cellphone with a nice Carl Zeiss lens and I guarantee you it will be better than a 13MP shot from a inferior lens like on so many phones. You only can cut corners in so little places now so if you have a 13mp shooters, I guarantee you the lens want be Carl Zeiss. and also, when was the last time you sent a 13 mp photo over a LTE network without eating up your data plan or reducing the size so much that the idea of a 13MP camera is defeated
11. Nathan_ingx (Posts: 3751; Member since: 07 Mar 2012)
Man, i couldn't agree more!!
But this comment should be posted somewhere...maybe on a DIFFERENT article??
40. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
13mp plus good sensor and lens >>>>>> than 4mp plus good sensor and lens. Everyone knows that mp doesn't mean everything, but that still doesn't change the fact that provided noise and smearing can be kept to a minimum and compression is good to keep file sizes down, 13mp >>>> 4mp.
Yes sensor size and lens are more important, but who says that sensor and lens has to take a hit on higher mp cameras. You can have your cake and eat it too with the 13mp on the GS4. You can't on the HTC One though.

According to Gsmarena from your link, "Peter reportedly told company executives he will step down if the HTC One doesn't succeed" ? Now he's making me worry.
42. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
It is a good thing. They keep making the same mistakes so a new leader is good. Since Peter Chou refuses to actually fix their issues and instead blames it all on marketing. Yes, marketing could play a part but he doesn't look at any other possibility like a good leader should.
Issues that a new leader could improve on.
-screen size to phone size ratio has always been piss poor. Especially on the HTC 8x and HTC One, their two latest.
-Button placement is just retarded. Maybe the new leader will put the power button on the side like he should and maybe the new leader won't get rid of the recent app button and make the home button difficult to reach just to be different.
- Improve quality control by 100 fold. New leader might blame it less on marketing and actually concentrate more on lowering their clearance. Loose volume rockers and screens that stick out more than they should are unacceptable. Instead of a 2mm clearance gap tops to past inspection, make it 1mm or less.
-Get rid of needless battery draining hardware like a wide angle ffc and some crappy amp and just make the device last longer and more compact.

oh no!!!! please makes it faster while the hype of htc one is still at its peak for i have to say HTC One has one of the best spec and built quality out there but when other flagship comes out elier the tendency of most people is to grab the newest! and has the hype will be slowly deteriorate htc has to do something about that i cant wait for it!!

The funny thing is that it probably isn't the camera or aluminum body(since we all know HTC just rushes and would release any body regardless of the manufacturing flaws like the HTC One X issues have shown us).
It is probably Qualcomm and HTC just doesn't have the clout to call them out. This seems more likely than a camera parts shortage.
Samsung : Hey Qualcomm, I need 40 million Qualcom 600 chip sets fast. Speed is important or otherwise we can just use our own Exynos if we have to wait too long.
Qualcomm : Errrrr.*sweats* Let me get back to you.
Samsung : Okay. Don't take too long though because we have to finalize everything soon.
Qualcomm : Hey LG and HTC! Your order is going to be delayed a bit because of um.... Manufacturing issues. Yes! That's it! Thanks for understanding. *hangs up before HTC can reply*
HTC: Sigh. Yes, I suck. :(
LG: Oh well. I will survive selling screens to Apple and making the next Nexus again for Google.
Qualcomm : Hey Samsung! 40 million by early April, no problem.
Samsung : Cool.

Considering that this is your shot to actually come back for 2013 in the Android Phone category, I'd say that a shortage that is caused by your main and most unique feature is kinda pathetic.

It's getting hard to keep up with all of the lawsuits and
countersuits [1][2][3][4][5][6] these days in the mobile
industry. The company with the largest target appears to be Google thanks
to patent infringements and market
dominance with the Android operating system. Apple, however, has its own
favorite whipping boy which just so happens to be Samsung.
Samsung is answering back with a lawsuit of its own France reports
AFP. The South Korean company
alleges that Apple is infringing on three mobile phone technology patents and
that infringing products include the iPhone and the iPad. Specifically, the
complaint fixates on the iPhone 3G/3GS/4 and both generations of the iPad.
The three patents center on UMTS 3G technology that is found
in all cellular-capable iPads and iPhones with the exception of original iPhone
released in 2007.
Apple already won
a huge battle in Germany, as the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (and its smaller
Galaxy Tab 7.7 sibling) have been kicked to the curb due infringements on
Apple's "minimalist design". Presiding Judge Johanna
Brueckner-Hofmann of the Dusseldorf, Germany asserted that, "The court is
of the opinion that Apple's minimalistic design isn't the only technical
solution to make a tablet computer, other designs are possible. For the
informed customer there remains the predominant overall impression that the
device looks [like the Apple iPad]."
Brueckner-Hofmann went on to add, "The crucial issue
was whether the Galaxy tablet looked like the drawings registered as a design
right. Also, our case had nothing to do with trademarks or patents for

HARTLAND – A fire late Friday night damaged the roof and part of a vacant house in the Town of Hartland, Niagara County sheriff's officials said.
A passerby spotted the flames at 2370 Quaker Road and called 911 about 10:20 p.m., authorities said.
Volunteer firefighters from Hartland and Barker put out the fire, which started in a rear interior wall and damaged the north side roof and the northeast corner of the house, authorities said.
The Niagara County Cause and Origin Unit is investigating the cause of the fire. The vacant house is owned by Robert Havens of Tonawanda, according to the Sheriff's Office. Deputies said the owner had been at the home earlier in the day, renovating it in preparation for sale.
