Most of us have heard about the court battles between Apple and Samsung; the patent wars have gone global! We go through a news article about this battle and discuss the Arabic vocabulary in it.

Your podcasts are certainly diverse.

Ehab/Moshaya - I posted on the forum but got no reply.

What do you think about the idea of starting Quranic podcasts?

Great podcast - not difficult since the vocab builds logically from previous lessons. Insofar as Ehab used the phrase "gets a ban" what I think is being described here basically was that Apple "obtained an injunction" from a court. There are various other types of bans Apple could have obtained, such as a legislative or regulatory ban. I am not sure how that translates into the Arabic (and one could drill down further into the nuances), but we definitely get the point.

As to Zacheriya's point of Quranic podcasts, I'm pretty satisfied with the wide range of subject matter as it is. I would probably not be interested in a concentrated study of Quranic Arabic but I certainly would be interested in a podcast about a translation of a point or two in it (or the nuances of the differences from MSA) from time to time.
