As an aside, when Paramount bought Desilu studio, they were upset to discover that Star Trek and Mission Impossible were losing serious money on each episode. (Desilu claimed all data was presented to Paramount in advance). Anyway, Star Trek turned out to be a very valuable property, and even Mission Impossible generated a few future movies. Ironically, Paramount was mainly interested in Desilu for its real estate. ------------------------------ Message-ID: <ECC128B1-6804-4A09-A714-EFF363E8E01D@roscom.com> Date: Sat, 22 Oct 2016 17:15:09 -0400 From: Monty Solomon <monty@roscom.com> Subject: Samsung Galaxy Note 7 recall dismays South Korea The withdrawal of the Galaxy Note 7, because it is prone to catch fire, is a source of humiliation to many in a country that had prided itself on the company's success. By CHOE SANG-HUN SEOUL, South Korea - A former South Korean teacher, Kim Jeong-min was at Narita Airport in Japan this month when he watched a television news report that Samsung Electronics' Galaxy Note 7 smartphone was banned on airplanes because it was prone to catching fire. Mr. Kim, 58, said he had felt humiliated, as if the non-Koreans in the airport lounge were looking at him. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/23/world/asia/galaxy-note-7-recall-south-korea-samsung.html ------------------------------ ********************************************* End of telecom Digest Sun, 23 Oct 2016
