I know samsung has publicly stated their intent to take action against apple for using LTE. IANAL so i don't understand the finer points here, but it seems odd to think you could use this tech without having dotted your i's and crossed your t's. It's not like an icon that anyone can cook up in isolation on their desktop. When you want use LTE, you don't design an LTE chip, you buy them from samsung. I don't think you just send an intern to the website to anonymously order 5 million lte radio chips, you go to samsung and say, "hey. we want to use your chip in the iphone5." then a deal is worked out with licensing and stuff.
I'm sure it's possible to do something wrong along the way, but i sort of think samsung's statements really meant, "we have our lawyers combing through all the paperwork we made apple file when they bought the LTE rights to try and find something, anything, that might be amiss."
The maps app that Apple developed to replace Google Maps is not that good.
There is no Streeview facility - something that I used with Google maps all the time.
there is a way to use streetview in the google based ios maps app? how?
i wondered how they count tablet web traffic. first of all, does it have to be a browser request. Many apps that people use are simply using web services exposed by sites. Does visiting wunderground.com in safari count as web traffic where using the wunderground app does not? i assume they are both hitting the same site. Second, android allows you to do neat things like run a browser that doesn't HAVE to report itself as a mobile browser. You can set the user_agent string to your liking and get the full blown version of the site. I have to imagine that isn't countable as tablet web traffic.
HTML5, which pulls in data much more slowly than native code
How can this be? HTML5 is not relegated to some throttled network interface. the data all comes through the same pipe. I've made plenty of html5 implementations that had small streamlined exchanges of data with the server. My observations indicate that the facebook apps just pull in obscene amounts of unoptimized crap.
Well, since it's facebook data, i guess no implementation can get around the fact that you are pulling down crap.
I've been using ubuntu because their silly alphabet animal names were entertaining. I don't know why i never really thought about opensuse before though. Their little chameleon logo is CUTE AS A BUTTON! I'm a convert!
Oh, and it is a chore - a genuine chore - to find anything new that is interesting. Pop is dead, hip-hop is largely offensive, rap is worse, what passes for rock is not the least inventive. I can listen to Katy Perry only so long, and I can find lots of artists that offer me one or two tracks I can bear to hear twice, but nothing like a whole disc worh of good marterial. I've been rediscovering The Who, but listening to that in a vehicle is a discrace - the noise floor means I miss so much beauty, and tney did such great work early on. Yes, I sample high or go lossless, hence the space crunch.
Lots of reasons to be underwhelmed with music these days.
Nobody verifies this under the present system, so an individual releasing stuff isn't any different.
Still, what steps should an individual take to minimize liability?
IANAL, but my advice would be to talk to one. It seems like a better option than dealing with the RIAA anyway. A lawyer will work for you. Your relationship with a recording studio is the opposite of that.
There is no rule that says an invention has to be complicated. Bending wire into a shape that conveniently holds papers together counts as an invention.
Hmm, i never thought i would have to give the answer to my security questions over the phone. I always fill them in with an 8 - 12 char alphanumeric jumble.
While i agree the answer to this submission is a resounding, "no", this is in ask slashdot. The very nature of these submissions are always going to be questions. isn't Betteridge's law intended to be invoked in journalism? This isn't a journalistic article. It's legitimately someone's question. BLOH doesn't state that the answer to all questions is no.
You'd think if they had this awesome system that kept a file on every one of us and everything we were searching for, surely that guy would have raised some red flags.
i confess to keeping my i* packaging. i don't do it out of any kind of cultish devotion to the church of jobs, it's because my hoarder instincts are convinced that i would someday find a use for that box. It IS a nice container, but i honestly resent apple for sticking me with it. Not only do i have this box, but it's full of little screws and whatnot that i also would have thrown out if i hadn't had such a convenient place to store them:(
It sounds like the same situation to me. Criminals feel like they have nothing to lose. That might be a lonely kid with no money. That might be a rich fatcat who's financially set. he's not going to lose his accumulated wealth. he's only going to get probation in a minimum security prison. really what does he have to lose?
Besides, who'll take care of the Louis Vutton luggage in the trunk, deal with the dirty work of refueling and how will your car be treated in terms of special parking if no driver is present?
There are no bugs in personal software projects. If something doesn't work, it gets fixed. you don't need anything to remind you that something you want to work doesn't. It's only the other people who try to use my software that find bugs, if you are making software for other people, it isn't really a personal project anymore, it's a product.

But why do women tend to do those things? is it genetic? Is it the same gene that is identified in tfa that might influence this behavior?
Well, it does offer more options for killing a giant shark than my internal combustion engine.

If that fails, you could try one of the complaint departments AT&T actually listens to.

responding to the player's own body language rather than mathematical rules
I confess to not reading TFA, however, I have yet to see machine learning that doesn't rely on mathematical rules.

Reviews are subjective things to begin with. any aggregate is just intended to be a lose heuristic, not some auditable fact.

Why the robot butler of course!

I think most people like to go fast regardless of income level.

You're paying extra for a security system that's supposed to be better than hot-wiring a car
I could have sworn you were just paying extra for a name.
