| Samsung pulls universal search feature from international Galaxy S III Posted: 25 Jul 2012 08:20 AM PDT  Samsung has issued a new software update for the international version of the Galaxy S III smartphone that removes the universal search feature from the Google search widget. A similar update was recently issued to the U.S. version of the phone as a pro-active measure against potential litigation from Apple against the device. Apple owns a patent on the ability to search content stored on a device itself, and it has already been successful in using the patent in court to get an injunction against the Google Galaxy Nexus smartphone. The update for the international Galaxy S III is surreptitiously called a "stability update" and weighs in at 27MB. Users can download it directly to their phones over-the-air or through Samsung's Kies desktop software. Read the full story here.
