Apple is abusing design patent. Honestly It is doubtful whether design has to be in an area of patent or not.
Assume the next: A rich person built a Victorian residence in a suburb. Attracted by it, neighbors followed building or renewed their houses of the same style. Such the case, the rich person would sue the neighbors in charge of infringement. Is it persuadable?
Picasso first learned Impressionism and then created Cubism. During his living, many of many artists pursued Picasso’s paintings and styles. Picasso did not sue them, as long as they did not copy his pieces as it is.
Design is substantially derived of ‘beauty’ or ‘feeling’. The beauty and feeling are naturally easy to be alike. Therefore, design patent must be limited to very narrow conditions. It is believed common sense that the smartphones and tablets such that small size and functions are far from the narrow conditions available to design patent..
The concept of patent system concerns not ‘design’ (beauty and feeling), but technology, about which we can judge the originality scientifically and clearly.
If Apple claims are accepted, the patent system would be doubted, and more might be overruled as useless.
There is an Eastern proverb, “Too much is as bad as too little.” Patent system has contributed to the industrial advance. But the abuse of patent now is killing creativity and industry.
Apple has been seemed too proud of ‘design’ creativity, ‘who else can dare to create the same level of our design?’ We can confirm Apple’s self-pride seeing that it operates the enclosed app market excluding non-members. Steve Jobs seemed to stick to his success, which he thought depended upon the creative design. He could haven’t forgiven Samsung’s phones as looked like his design. He that was angry sued Samsung too emotionally. But he made a large mistake, ignoring the basic vulnerability of design patent.
‘Design’ is not a magic. If someone says their design is purely creative, he or she is a liar. Apple’s designers would have seen Sony’s. Perfect design creativity is really a fantasy or magic.
We live on one earth conditioned by the God, so that any giant cannot found their own ecosystem for themselves. If so, the artificial, profane market will be punished to the extinction.
We globizens live in the Internet age, the most remarkable feature of which is the diffusion of knowledge and information freely and swiftly.
The next (South Korea, Taiwan) or third (China) generation of developing countries would be following the western levels speedier than the first generation (Japan) did.
We must humiliate ourselves to keep the top. (The end)

Speed Management for Global Recession
Eurozone is more getting into the deep mire, let alone settle down. Even Germany’s credit was downward to ‘negative’.
The U.S.A also has been experiencing economic difficulties since opening this century due to the substantial weakness. To put it simply, the advanced countries themselves are collapsing collectively. Who do they owe the present situations to?
In my opinion, it might be the God’s penalty or the twilight of the great western civilization ending their given roles. It seems that the political leaders lost their confidence to control the laziness-accustomed people and voracious elites. In fact, too much loads are pressing down on the current politicians’ shoulders of the advanced countries.
Back to the principles! Tighten the belt. Do not worship the idols of modern knowledge and culture. Recover the Christianity.
NO one can know uncertain situations. In such a case, we should pay attention to present ones, and then immediately move on toward the near hills or valleys. We should not waste time to know the future more completely, which only belongs to the God. We are having a hand-to-hand combat.
In other words, we could name it ‘Speed Management’. In relation to ‘Speed Management’, Korea’s big companies are considered most competitive in the world, because we are always in a state of emergency, being the truce with the North Korea.
Korea’s big companies still maintain the attitude of learning anything valuable. They are very fast to inhale whatever global ones have. In Seoul, many business-related seminars take place continually all the year round.
I think that many economists’ advice of the advanced countries seems inimical to their healthy economy. The news media spread the harmful claims of the ‘false prophets’ such as money supply and quantitative easing. As we spent extravagantly, we should spend less and save more, and additionally we have to repent our sins like excessive consuming, unrestrained enjoying. (The end)

A New Solution for the Long Recession
It is needed that we know the exact state of the southern Europe. The European Crisis is owed to complex causes, which are the obsoleteness of capitalism, the collapse of excessive, irresponsible welfare system, the moral and ethical hazards of the southern European peoples. Therefore, the crisis cannot be solved within a short term, though Germany is forced to agree with something generous made by other debtors. It is simple that the debtors should tighten their own belts, but the politicians try to avoid some unwanted measures, and appease the people’s complaints temporarily.
It is really nonsense to think that Germany is able to bear the astronomical amount of debts. It may be possible, if the rest of world including the U.S.A., China, India, Brics, helps the eurozone. Unfortunately, they are pressed with their own economic problems.
The solution is to repent the past conducts, reduce the unnecessary spending, work harder. If so, they will earn the faith of the investment market, and then recover their competitiveness gradually. The other methods are only an anesthetic to postpone the pains and dishonor.
The plan of the eurozone is a complete mistake from the beginning. The eurozone is another utopian dream unrealizable like communism. The Europeans had a wrong fantasy that the big scale like the U.S.A. and China is better and stronger to them. As a matter of fact, the bigger one country is, the worse the wellbeing level of the individuals under the bigger country is. It is an obsessive complex toward a giant. Let’s look at the realities rationally.
First in the human history, we live in the global economy, which means the nearly perfect competition among the countries. Such the global economy is most advantageous to adequate scope of the country so that the bigger countries like the U.S.A., India, China, Russia, and eurozone become less competitive. The big four countries have cost tremendous sacrifices for their integration, nonetheless they fail to achieve the well-being of their individuals. Knowingly the big four countries are poorer than the smaller rich countries like Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Australia, Singapore, etc. The eurozone is going to walk in the opposite way. The big scope itself means ineffectiveness in terms of all areas, such as education, infrastructure, armies, bureaucracy, medicare, etc.
If the eurozone does not walk on the right way, they might be first historically thrown into the secondary region, not mainstream.
The advanced western economy is malfunctioned and obsolete in respect of structure and quality. They have little medium leveled quality of laborers, because they failed to educate the pupils in school. They have spent more than earned, which has made worsen their fundamentals gradually.
While they are tying down, new challengers like China ran after them. They lost the ground of manufacturing industries.
Today’s economic difficulties were not originated from economic problems, but social, educational, and political ones. It is ridiculous that you ask the economists of investment banks about the causes of present economic crisis. The economists say that if any condition is given to some situations, they naturally result in something. But the assumption is almost always changing. The assumption to not change is unrealistic.
The current crisis is incurred of moral, ethic, spiritual, and social problems. It is very limited for the government to solve the crisis. The political parties are too much affected by a few powerful interest groups, so the public interest is apt to be ignored and sacrificed in the political negotiations and decision-making processes. The most disappointed thing is that some critical issues are unsettled for a long time without deadline or compromised temporarily. As a result, the most suffered is the voiceless mass and public interest so that the competitiveness of the country or community is slowly weakened. This is the substance of the advanced countries’ crisis like the southern Europe, UK, and U.S.A.
What’s worse, the democratic capitalistic system seems unproductive compared with the ones of the state capitalism such as China, Russia, etc. In the global economic competition, is it consistently reasonable to say that democracy prevails over totalitarianism?
In the democratic system, politicians generally prefer votes and popular policies rather than difficult choices for public interests. But the autocrats in the state capitalistic systems sometimes make reasonable decisions for the long-term visions of the public, though they first of all endeavor to keep their power. The democratic systems are seen in a state of a kind obsoleteness and dysfunction. The operators and operated people under the democratic systems became irresponsible, lazy, self-conceited for their works. On the contrary, the autocrats are strugglers to hide and supplement their weak points. Now the democratic politicians of the rich dad’s sons are losing face before the ones of the poor dad’s sons.
Strangely, after the western society deserted Christian faith and believes the postmodernism based human reason, they suddenly became stupid lazy people. Especially, faithless Europeans turned playful workers with little expertise and knowledge.
Europe adopted socialism so that collective downward standardization has proceeded until now.
Modern economic contradiction is generated from excessive consumption and debt. Modern person is consuming more than makes money, and does not save their income. Speaking accurately, they have little money to save. As a result, they have remained little in their pocket.
The largest feature of the modern economy is polarization. How to lessen the polarization? The recipe is not institutionalization and policy for solving, but our human morality, ethics, and spirits.
The upper classes should contribute to the poor and public society through their wealth and conducts. The middle classes should make much efforts so that their level of living has to be narrowed with the one of the rich as much as possible. For this, the middle and upper classes must keep sound spirit and morality, getting away with postmodernism.
We should build a new human-centered economy, or community economy, which does not mean socialism. Socialism is simple equalization. The human economy is love, share and contribution under competition. It implies empathy economy. We could see the real mechanism in the ‘bazaar’. The merchants in the bazaar compete with one another, but help when members are suffering from something unbearable.
Socialism deprives the wealth of richer persons, consequently, the rich leave their community and do not work hard purposely. The sabotages of the rich only damage their community and the poor.
We must care the alienated and poor people. I call it ‘care capitalism’. Koreans have an inspired mind. They work hard as if they were possessed, whenever they feel empathy, love, and sharing.
We should recover our substance and basic purpose. We are plunged too much into instrumentalism like a tool, method, and convenience. We have to focus our mind for the balance. (The end)

Samsung's Revolution of HR Recruitment in Korea
Samsung has been famous for indiscrimination of academic background in Korea, while most companies still have excessive expectations about academic performances. It is known that Samsung does not permit forming the same school alumni fraternities. I believe that global competence of Samsung is owed to this indiscrimination of academic background, which is drawing the potentials of all workers to the utmost and loyalty to the company.
Korean society has the worst traditional habit that the people of the same academic school and same hometown are supporting and uniting one another almost unconditionally. The founder of Samsung, Baeng-Chul Lee, challenged the contemporary customs of academic cliques such that he chose newcomers in terms of their substantial abilities, possibilities, and personalities (sincerity etc.). His management slogan was the ‘Priority of Excellent Workers’. His son, present chairman of Samsung, has followed the slogan. Chairman Keun-Hee Lee tells his CEOs look for super talents globally, and stresses, “Do not be stingy about employing good HR.”
The workers of regional colleges account for 25-27%, which is higher compared with the other companies. Samsung recently said that they will increase the rate to 35%. For that, they will choose the alumni of regional colleges more than before.
Since about ten years, fortunately the discrimination of academic background has been gradually thinned in Korea. Why?
Firstly Many of young Koreans have entered much more excellent universities than Korea’s ones. They are being changed of a frog in the well. Secondly, they began to understand that experiences and creativity are more important than knowledge. In the basic stage of economic development, knowledge is a decisive element of competitiveness. Now in the more mature stage, they need expertise and creativity, which are formed in the work place, not in the school.
As a matter of fact, the last demand for education is from working places, most of which are companies. So big companies can change the bad perceptions such as discrimination of academic background. Big companies could become a facilitator for social advances, not a receiver of prejudices.
Samsung is worth being praised because of this recruiting change. It is expected that other big companies follow this trend. (The end)

Prepare for Post-Eurozone
Almost all seers begin to think that the eurozone runs to the dead alley. Now in retrospect, the vision and implementation of the eurozone seem to be too ideal, being too optimistic about individual nations’ collective selfishness. Can the eurozone that German economy power and political influences prevail over be kept on and accepted patiently by other members?
In economic world, there are or there have to be rich nations, middle-leveled ones, and poorer ones. In one country there are also several differences in terms of individual wealth. Therefore, they always compete with one another, entice large or small pieces of dissention, so that we need political action. Physically, the larger a country is, the severer its conflicts are. The typical examples are China, U.S.A., and Russia, India. Generally peoples and politicians have wrong fantasy that superpowers would be unconditionally good for themselves. No, the reality is the opposite. A superpower has to be worth it so that it is forced to be entailed into wars and bloody strife.
Europeans could not forget the old Roman Empire. They missed the glory of Western Imperialism in their deep hidden minds. They had wanted to build a new Roman Empire, which competes over U.S.A, China, Russia, India, etc. It is going to be judged a great chicanery. Their lethal mistake was to adopt one currency. They should have been contented with becoming a union of the similar political and diplomatic policy. The unique economic union was a fallacious choice.
I was impressed with the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, through which I confirmed the power and effectiveness of the British identity. European people like the British have their own identity and pride of living in the regions and countries. It is unimaginable that they give up their pride, culture, and identity for the real economic benefit. The more the eurozone is becoming a country by fiscal consolidation, the more the eurozone will be Germanized. If so, the other member countries can permit the new economic hegemony? This is a baloney. And also Germans will feel that they work more and pay tax more. Can they bear this unfairness continuously? Although the fiscally consolidated eurozone can be formed, the authority has to spend the days on disputing economic policies.
The U.S.A. had needed tens of years forming the present clear authority. The eurozone could endure such a long way?
In my opinion, the eurozone tried to walk the opposite. Yes, we need the peace and harmony, but its condition is more real and effective under small and diverse scale of countries rather than superpowers.
Someone says that the euro need a ‘Marshall Plan’ once again. Maybe it might be right. The U.S.A. and the rest of the world might have to offer the second Marshall Plan, in order to save the eurozone. (The end)

It Is Meaningless For News To Be Free Or Not
As Warren Buffett recently bought 26 local newspapers in a row, it is again sparking the debate surrounding free of news.
One online reporter says, “Every Twitter user is potentially a journalist. Every blog author is publisher.” I want to answer it. “Twitter user is not a journalist, bloger is not a author or publisher.” Because they do not make a living on that job. We can make my table or seat at home, but we are not called carpenter.
If one online news company maintains their business by free news, that’s OK. No problem. They have users enough to read the free news, therefore, to attract advertisers.
Since the Internet age, general people are satisfied with free news such as TV news, online news, underground freesheets. Honestly most people do not feel the necessity of high quality news. But leaders, entrepreneurs, professionals, investors, and higher ranks of corporate persons willingly pay higher quality of news. These higher classes understand very well the business logic that good quality news needs efforts, time, and money. Therefore, they do not hesitate to buy quality news.
Now it is meaningless to debate free or not. Charged or free news has its own target. It can be simply defined that charged news is informative one, while free news is publicizing one. Charged news would be economic one, while free news is political, social, or cultural one. If any free news organization can offer free informative economic news, who cares? If any online news companies can offer volunteers’ reports or curated ones free of charge, then visitors’ number reaches the advertisers’ requirements, who picks a fight with you?
It’s about twenty years since the internet news has been serviced normally. Now quitting the exhaustive debate of ‘free news’, each of news companies should develop their own creative biz models and foster management expertise.
A professor predicted that local papers could close in the next 10 years. In fact, among today’s catastrophic changes, the prospect after 10 years should be a kind of deception. Although he might be an expert of technology, his mention is sure to be ignorant of culture and scientific philosophy governing the technology.
Generally seeing, such experts related to internet, IT, communications subtly speak haughtily, while the ones of other scientific and technological fields say carefully. (The end)

Now when Murdock's Tabloidism Quitting the Stage
It reveals that Murdock has used the journalists as his private soldiers illegal for his desires. It is not important whether Murdock has had a deep relation with the hacking. The really evil thing is he did tabloid journalism
News media have public nature, which is a feature clearly different from the other corporations. The news, analysis, and column themselves give impact on societies and the world.
As a matter of fact, owners of news media are apt to become an absolute magnate like Murdock, whom everybody is flattering or trembling in the front of. All the celebrities were afraid of Murdock’s two tabloids. The overused the power, and at last drank the lethal poisonous glass, the hacking.
Could it be said that Murdock’s two tabloids have only been loyal in satisfying the people’s curiosity? Almost all people have some flaws, let alone celebrities. It cannot be exempt from cruelly reporting private lives of celebrities or even general people, as the mass like the sensational stories. The freedom of the press is not guaranteed unlimitedly.
It is surprised as Korea’s journalist that the tabloid exploited a private investigator customarily. In Korea, such a job of private investigators is not permitted because of the abuse or misuse. I thought the rejection of private investigators’ introduction is a little excessive concern, but this hacking case changed my generosity. The private investigator is playing to a linkage between the news media and the police, though they should balance and check each other. It is a very threatening thing to democracy.
The general level of journalism of the advanced countries like Britain and U.S.A is much better than the one of Korea, especially in terms of detailed accuracy and several, objective facts. They, however, have a blemish, that is tabloids. In Eastern morality-ethics standard, sensationalism of tabloids seems similar to pornography, which expresses obsessive desires.
Westerners, whether intellectuals or grass-rooters, are likely to easily forget the virtue of balance. They crazily like or dislike celebrities. In Eastern societies, general people think that they themselves are able to become celebrities, especially in Korea and China. The Koreans and Chinese ended their dynasties about 100 years ago. Koreans do not show obsession with celebrities. Honestly whenever I see the Sun during visiting Britain, I felt disgusting about the cover. I always admire British quality broadsheets very much.
The worst point of sensational journalism is to dismantle the societies gradually and continuously, and as a result the competitiveness and community spirit of societies are falling down. All the human-made institutions and regimes have to be corrupt and degraded so that they must be remedied or punished in case of being deviated on the balanced road.
In Korea, too, sensational tabloids exist, but they have little effects on our society. Because their reports are not believed by anyone. The reports’ titles are boisterous, but have little concrete facts, full of guessing. Murdock’s tabloids did work too well, even mobilizing hacking. It might be good to their revenue, but surely be the worst to the society and people. (The end)

I thought the rejection of private investigators’ introduction is a little excessive concern, but this hacking case changed my generosity. The private investigator is playing to a linkage between the news media and the police, though they should balance and check each other. It is a very threatening thing to democracy.
The general level of journalism of the advanced countries like Britain and U.S.A is much better than the one of Korea, especially in terms of detailed accuracy and several, objective facts. They, however, have a blemish, that is tabloids. In Eastern morality-ethics standard, sensationalism of tabloids seems similar to pornography, which expresses obsessive desires.
Westerners, whether intellectuals or grass-rooters, are likely to easily forget the virtue of balance. They crazily like or dislike celebrities. In Eastern societies, general people think that they themselves are able to become celebrities, especially in Korea and China. The Koreans and Chinese ended their dynasties about 100 years ago. Koreans do not show obsession with celebrities. Honestly whenever I see the Sun during visiting Britain, I felt disgusting about the cover. I always admire British quality broadsheets very much.
The worst point of sensational journalism is to dismantle the societies gradually and continuously, and as a result the competitiveness and community spirit of societies are falling down. All the human-made institutions and regimes have to be corrupt and degraded so that they must be remedied or punished in case of being deviated on the balanced road.
In Korea, too, sensational tabloids exist, but they have little effects on our society. Because their reports are not believed by anyone. The reports’ titles are boisterous, but have little concrete facts, full of guessing. Murdock’s tabloids did work too well, even mobilizing hacking. It might be good to their revenue, but surely be the worst to the society and people. (The end)
