So the S6 is a lot tougher than it look in spite of the glass
A Frenchman has told of how his life was saved by his mobile phone, after he was caught in the middle of last night's horrifying terrorist attacks in Paris.
The man, named only as Sylvestre, had just ended a phone call when a terrorist blew himself up just metres from where he stood - the first of two suicide explosions and a bombing at the Stade de France which killed at least six people.
A flying piece of shrapnel from the blast smashed into his phone, which would have caused his head to 'explode' had it made impact just seconds later.
The double suicide blasts at the stadium came as part of a series of coordinated attacks which left at least 127 people dead and the city paralysed with fear.

Yeah I saw this too. Though in the article I read it said that the phone had absorbed the impact of a bullet.
http://www.smh.com.au/world/paris-a...-outside-stade-de-france-20151114-gkz3ok.html
This article would appear to be wrong though, because if you watch the video the man says an explosion happened. Either way he' s a very lucky man!
Unfortunately, due to the political/religious discussions that may arise because of this topic, we can not allow this thread to remain open. I hope you understand. XDA rule 2.4:
2.4 Personal attacks, racial, political and / or religious discussions: XDA is a discussion forum about certain mobile phones. Mobile phones are not racial, political, religious or personally offensive and therefore, none of these types of discussions are permitted on XDA.
With all due respect, this site is not the place for these discussions.

No, bongski's pretty diehard anti-Samsung, so he's probably serious. I'm not entirely sure what place a simple link to an unreferenced article on an iPhone website paying out on Samsung's advertising material has on an Android development website, but whatever.
EDIT: Photo tagline actually reads "Apple news. Microsoft + Android fails" That's some unbiased reporting, right there.
In this case, I'm actuallly siding with Samsung. If you have a look at the press images for every high-end MP3 player on the market, even before the iPod touch (yes, there were consumer mp3 players before that), they have all used the same standing device with coiled headphones graphic. Those are the two main features of the device, so thats what consumers should see. Furthermore, you can't ignore the fact that they are both devices that are slimmed-down, lightly modified versions of smartphones with almost identical form factors. There is going to be some similarity. That does not make Samsung some slavish copy of Apple, that just means they both have the same functions to perform, and they both advertise those same functions in a similar manner.
Just my opinion, obviously.
Here's a relevant magic-eye picture for you all to enjoy

Still possible, I'll admit, but having read some of Bongski's other anti-Samsung spiels, I'm not so sure...
Being anti-Samsung has nothing to do with the fact that he's a troll. This is a pure troll-post and was created for nothing other than baiting people into being defensive and arguing. That's what a troll does.
I've reported it anyway just to get a mod to look - they may disagree. I'll shut up now either way.
Unless you want me to start trolling you OP, I'd suggest not to start this type of thread in the future.

Enjoy the dancing lock.
Wow, look at that:--
Samsung confirmed it will sue Apple immediately if it releases an LTE device. This seems directed squarely at the new iPhone as currently the iPad does sell with LTE on board. Obviously, this legal case is just a start of a huge change, not the end of anything.
Considering Apple iPhone 5 is almost certain to come with LTE on board, let's see what happens.

Interesting, but it all depends where the patents are valid. In California they ruled in Apple's favour and fined them a billion dollars; in Korea they were seeking damages of only sixpence and a can of baked beans...

After the conversation in the 'Post your designs/sketches' thread where skill level seemed to be inhibiting some people from posting their artwork, I wanted to show people with less experience how even professionally trained artists don't always produce top-notch work every single time. Art is, more than anything, an exploration, an experiment, and should for the most part at LEAST be fun.
I've had the GT-N8013 for a week now, and most of the stuff I've done on it are still 'just' doodles. Some of them are 'dead ends'.
So, with the hopes of engendering a spirit of cooperation, contribution and community among ALL skill levels, LET'S PLAY EXQUISITE CORPSES!!!
for anyone wondering wtf I'm talking about, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exquisite_corpse here's the Wikipedia entry.
Suggested thread rules:
1) if you post work, do so under the GPL. IN OTHER WORDS: don't post work you feel is your IP knowing it will be modified, copied and reworked. We don't want to start an IP war on XDA.
2)if you take work from another artist, please post back your mods to the original...
3)if someone (OP, original artist, friends, boss etc) think an exquisite corpse has commercial value, credit and work out royalties with ALL contributors...
4) we all have PS touch, so keep your own work on layers as to not destroy original content.
I really think we could learn alot from each other, explore collectively the capabilities of this tablet, and in general have alot of fun.
here are my current doodles:

Would love to see this thread take off. Hope you enjoy, have fun, and PLEASE post back any mods you make! I may want to work on your modified file!!!
PLEASE don't let skill level stop you! Creativity is superior to skill!

You start a thread about something that already has a dedicated, well established thread and you even link to it in your thread.
You knowingly broke the rules and spammed the forum.
If I had a ban hammer I'd be sending you on a vacation.

As I'm feeling kind. Why don't you do the one thing you could possibly do to make a difference.
Report the GPL Violation. --> http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-violation.html
Spamming XDA will get you banned, Spamming Samsungs emails will get you ignored, Spamming Samsungs FB, Twiitter & G+ makes you look like a child.
Do the grown up thing.

Can you imagine what could happen if those passes were real? We're not going to give that a try but I'm sure it would soon turn into chaos when a dozen members would get that HOTHEAD pass!
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the people that keep this forum running every single day. Forum members don't always appreciate it when we approach them as we're the ones that usually bring a message that's not always nice to hear but I really hope they understand the importance of the role we fulfil here. Remember: we're just people too with the same shared passion for tech and we have the best intentions with this community. For this reason we voluntarily devote a great deal of our free time to keep this a fun and safe forum for everyone.
So no, we're not selling any violation passes, the Forum Rules still apply to everyone
Have a fun day!
Kind regards
Timmy

On top of the fish I've put "(Click the fish to watch it swim ^_^)", which actually isn't a joke, the image should move when clicked but it doesn't seem to be behaving consistently. Sorry if it doesn't work for you! It's supposed to look like this:
