Wouldn't the HTC settlement help Apple's case? If HTC will settle patent claims with Apple, why doesn't Samsung do so on similar terms? Why does Apple have to sue Samsung when Apple is this big reasonable company that just wants to cross-license its patent portfolio at a reasonable price?
Agreed. Sometimes I have a situation where my MiFi device connects to LTE but there is no Internet connection at the tower. Sometimes it can't decide whether it should choose LTE or 3G.
In the real world, LTE rocks. I get faster connections on LTE than any wired connection I've ever had. Granted, they don't allow me outside of the dungeon much, so sharing the connection with the others in the cube farm doesn't give me much speed personally. When I'm on LTE, I get like 30 Mbps to myself.
If you read the article, the answer is "No." Despite what the summary says, AnandTech was not able to actually connect to any cellular provider. They're just saying that the radio is there for LTE on Band 4.
From now on, "Metro-style application" will be known as "Windows 8-style application" and "Metro user interface" will be known as "Windows 8 user interface." Yep, Ducks shall be called Nozzes!
No, it's better than a guess. It's called fuzzy logic and it serves me well. It allows me to make educated guesses without having to massage a lot of data.
The main-stream media and the campaigns wanted to talk about how close the race was so that people would watch the news, click on the stories and get out and vote. If you publicize, like Nate did, that Candidate B is definitely going to win, Candidate B's supporters may skip voting and Candidate A's may make a big push to vote, reversing the prediction of the polls.
I won a free lunch Tuesday. At 10 a.m. EST, I bet a friend that not only would Obama win, but that he would win at least 300 electoral college votes. And I didn't even look at what Nate had to say. I was one of the people not surprised by the outcome.
I've had to deal with the IRS more than I would like to and I have always found their people to be fair and professional. Sorry if you had a bad experience.
How did you get a Score:5, Insightful? I'm still running PowerPC Macs and I can still run PowerPC OS 9 programs on my Intel Core i7 MacBook Pro. How am I being forced to upgrade hardware and software again?
The military does not want or need the money. We don't need any better fighter jets or bombers because that's not how the next war is going to be fought.
The next war will be in stealing money from people, companies and banks and, so far, the Europeans, Asians and Africans are winning.
We know now that Iraq had nothing to do with Osama bin Laden and 9/11. But G. W. Bush included a false claim that Iraq was connected to 9/11 as one of the reasons to invade the country.
Actually, charging sales tax on shipping and handling is designed to simplify taxes. In some states, S&H was taxable and others it wasn't. Under the simplification, it's taxable everywhere.
If this is stifling your innovation, you need a new line of work.
Yes, but do you live in a state, like Illinois or Ohio, where you are required by law to pay that sales tax on your income tax return? Not cheating on your taxes, are you?
For me, the extra sales tax runs about $10 a year. Not a big deal.
You may have forgotten the days when Amazon made no profit on the books that it sold and made all its profit on shipping and handling charges. The profit for one quarter from shipping and handling was around $35 million as recall. Don't ask me for a citation; other than Wikipedia, I wouldn't know where to look.
The merchant is required by law to account for all money collected as sales tax separately from the amount of the sale and to remit all sales tax collected to the state. If the merchant collects less than is required based on the sales, then the merchant has to make up the difference. To not remit all money collected as sales tax to the state is illegal.
It's possible that North Carolina is different than the Midwestern states which I'm familiar with, but I doubt it.

True, if you think Macs are not PCs...
pr people never use words like "tantrum."

They did not say that they are actually able to connect to T-Mobile. My understanding is that they were not able to.

Please learn how to use the "a" tag.
You're talking about Amazon, not Apple. Please read before posting.

In Ohio, there were a fair number of races at least 10 percentage points apart (55%-45% or better).

The overpriced server is gone but the Mac Mini can be purchased with OS X server preinstalled.

You need to review the concept of "implied consent."
We survived eight years of George W. Bush, you will survive eight years of Barack Obama.
Where's the fun in accurate summaries, especially when someone is outraged?
