Another important thing to mention is that GST is collected by the Federal government and is then distributed to the state governments according some formula, as part of removing differing state sales taxes.
Does anyone know how the stats are collated? I made my purchase at work on a Windows machine to play on Linux at home and am wondering if there is a significant percentage of other purchases doing the same thing.
There seems to be an awful lot of second hand record stores in Europe for something that is illegal. You seem to have missed the Exhaustion Principle/Rule which operates in a similar fashion to the first sale doctrine
Second hand software seems to more to be a grey area, where reselling a license for download is illegal but reselling a piece of boxed software (game disks, manuals, etc) seems to be fine.
Try a computer recycling centre, most tend to be short on storage and are happy to sell a large number of desktop machines at a lower than normal price per unit. Community operated ones tend to be more helpful than business ones though.
What that also shows me is the material cost difference between a 16GB tablet and a 32GB tablet is $22 but the retail difference between the two models is $100
Batteries do have an expiry date and Apple charges a quite bit more than $20 for a new battery, which means that you are not most people. Most people will either pay the (what I consider to be gouging) price for a new battery or decide to upgrade.
Planned obsolescence is by no means a new concept, but Apple has certainly embraced it
I think the point is that removable batteries mean the device is not designed to have an expiry date. Most people would have to send their device away to get the battery replaced, add the cost of getting the new battery and the time that they won't have their device makes a pretty good incentive to think about upgrading to a newer model.
Steven Mancinelli is the attorney of record, the important line is the one above it (APPLICANT) Mojang AB CORPORATION SWEDEN 1 Lagskarsvagen Johanneshov SWEDEN 12155 which means this is probably the reason Bethesda is suing.
My understanding of it relates to playing pool, but it could be applied to a number of activities. At university if you lost at pool (8 ball) without sinking one of your balls you had to do a lap of the table with your pants down.
Except there was an article last year about the DoD tendering for thin-clients for some of their 75,000 user base. Those are the staffing numbers of actual public servants, which don't include staff employed via external agencies or on a contractual basis.
120VAC like used in US houses is supplied at something like 15 to 20A. (I live in Australia - household power here is 240v, 10A.)
Electrical supply in Australia is 230V/50Hz. Residential switchboards have an 80A fuse to the mains and the individual circuits have 5/10/15/20A fuses/breakers depending on the age of the house and the expected circuit usage. In my current house the lights are wired into a 5A circuit, living areas are on 10A circuits, kitchen and laundry are a 15A circuit and the garage is a 20A circuit.
The university tuition is nominal. The article is talking about Trinity College, which charges over $20,000 for residency and then has additional charges for such things as network access. (At least when I was resident in a nearby college)
I'll admit that their photoshopping skills aren't as good as Apple, but I think alltheproductvideos are a bit more useful. Also if they haven't started shipping I wonder how it was disassembled during this review
But you can apply for trademarks in categories where you don't have a business presence. Which is why Lucasfilm Ltd has been applying for trademarks on Droid in almost every category for the past decade.
Except that only ~1% of enrolled voters can vote out a politician. Also, Julia Gillard's seat (Division of Lalor) has been held by the Labour Party since 1969, and she won in 2007 by 30000 votes.
I've got a pair of 9800gx2 in my rig. The cards turn room temperature air into ~46C air. Without proper ventilation, these things will turn a chassis into an easy bake oven.
That's a brilliant idea, now people can make snacks without ever leaving the computer.
Further to your comment, I pulled down the source code from Palm (http://opensource.palm.com/1.3.1/index.html) and compared it to the the earliest source I could find on Artifex's site. Palm is using an earlier version (02-Mar-2008) of the muPDF source which is licensed under GPLv2. Artifex's available source(01-Jul-2009) is GPLv3.
IIRC GPLv2 allows Palm to distribute the application as they are doing.

In Australia, you can buy shark from most fish and chip shops. There are 4 or 5 different species that are sold under the generic term "flake"

Was that you buying a battery and replacing it or you paying an authorised Apple repairer to swap over the battery?

Maybe it could be pulsating ...

Also, you didn't ask for a good one. I just directed you to one that does exist and was shipping before your precious iPad.
I'll admit that their photoshopping skills aren't as good as Apple, but I think all the product videos are a bit more useful. Also if they haven't started shipping I wonder how it was disassembled during this review
You mean like this one that originally started shipping August 2009
It's not so innovative, halfway through the review they reference that this particular design was used in 1999 in the Vadem Clio

The current batch of HDTVs on the market all have networking capabilities and claim to be able to play media off connected PCs
