Weak case
Wasn't Pranav Mistry the guy who made the news about some Samsung gear? There was a lot of media coverage
Yes, same guy
Hope he sues the crap out of the company and gets millions.
The two look like so smug.. very believable. I hope the poor guy sues both them personally as well as the company.
