LOS ANGELES — Samsung Electronics Co. isn't going away without a fight.
A day after Apple Inc. said it would seek to ban eight Samsung smartphones from sale in the U.S., the South Korean electronics giant shot back Tuesday with a short statement: "We will take all necessary measures to ensure the availability of our products in the U.S. market."
Apple scored an overwhelming victory in federal court in San Jose, Calif., last week when a jury sided with the Cupertino, Calif., tech company in the billion-dollar patent infringement case.

From Wikipedia:
Bruno Bettelheim (August 28, 1903 – March 13, 1990) was an Austrian-born American child psychologist and writer. He gained an international reputation for his work on Freud, psychoanalysis, and emotionally disturbed children.
When his father died, Bettelheim left his studies at the University of Vienna to look after his family's sawmill. Bettelheim and his first wife Gina took care of Patsy, an American child whom he later described as autistic. Patsy lived in the Bettelheim home in Vienna for seven years. Having discharged his obligations to his family's business, Bettelheim returned as a mature student in his 30s to the University of Vienna. He earned a degree in philosophy, producing a dissertation on Immanuel Kant and on the history of art.
Read scholarly biography of Bettelheim by Karen Zelan in Prospects: the quarterly review of comparative education,available from UNESCO.
