Income Taxes	Income Taxes Income taxes for the first six months of 2012 included a tax benefit of $14 million recognized in the first quarter of 2012 related to the favorable resolution of certain prior year tax matters, which was previously reserved as an uncertain tax position. Income taxes for the second quarter of 2011 included a charge to reduce net deferred tax assets by $19 million in connection with a change in certain tax rates. Income taxes for the second and first quarters of 2011 included charges of $7 million and $33 million, respectively, in connection with the receipt of $40 million and $200 million, respectively, from Samsung for a cross-license agreement. Remaining taxes in the second and first quarters of 2012 and 2011 primarily reflect taxes on our non-U.S. operations. We have a valuation allowance for our net deferred tax asset associated with our U.S. operations. The provision (benefit) for taxes on U.S. operations in the second and first quarters of 2012 and 2011 was substantially offset by changes in the valuation allowance.
