In a full-page ad taken out in major US newspapers on Monday, tech manufacturer Samsung has offered an apology for the Galaxy Note 7 smartphone, which was fitted with a faulty battery, leading to an unprecedented number of the devices exploding. In September of this year, Samsung issued a full recall; now it's promising to fully investigate the phone, Korea Herald reports.

"An important tenet of our mission is to offer best-in-class safety and quality. Recently, we fell short on this promise. For this we are truly sorry," the ad reads."A careful Note 7 investigation is underway and the findings will be shared when the process is complete...We will re-examine every aspect of the device, including all hardware, software, manufacturing and the overall battery structure. We will move as quickly as possible, but will take the time needed to get the right answers."

Is it too late? The devices have been exploding for months.

    It had always been the case that cases against the President would be deferred until they were no longer President so, for the good of the country, he couldn't be distracted/railroaded by people bringing real or questionable cases against him. This was always more rooted in custom and not written in law, but it never really occurred to any major extent before. However, the Republicans decided it was a grave and serious issue and insisted on the importance of civil cases being brought against the President when Clinton was in office. Now, if there is any cosmic justice, they get to pay the price for their relentless dogging of Clinton at all costs because, surely, it is still a grave and serious issue. Unfortunately, it really won't be cosmic karma justice because the Republicans in Congress would love to see Trump thrown out so that they can get a "true" Republican in his place; remember, they hate Trump too.
