As opposed to Kodak that has filed patent suits against RIM, Apple, HTC, Samsung and many more companies in the last few years. Oh poor babies are getting a taste is their own medicine. It's funny to see Slashtards defend a patent troll just because they got countersued by Apple.
Ignoring the fact that Kodak had lately been nothing but a patent troll filing suits against everyone it can in order to boost revenues? They are just getting their comeuppance and they rightfully deserve it.
Then maybe stop requiring data plans for all smart phones? Poor AT&T was forced against its well to have to sell all these smart phones then also forced to make their evil customers purchase a data plan. And *gasp* hope dare those asshole users actually use the data plan they were forced to purchase. All this is making the executives at AT&T cry.
I don't hate Facebook. But it's stupid to voluntarily give out your information to someone who is going to publicly share it and then whine like a bitch about it when they....publicly share it.
Who says that the majority of users agree with the plaintiffs views? I'm sure you have some evidence, right? Liking things has always defaulted to being public. Only an idiot would only just now realize this.
You might want crack your dictionary. Difference is a transitive verb and according Merriam-Webster have been used as such since the late 1500s. It means "differentiate or distinguish". Grammar Nazi fail.
Funny because Slashdot heaped on tons of criticism to Microsoft and Yahoo for "complying with local laws" when it came to censorship yet the fanbois are out in full strength to once again defend Google for doing the same thing.
So I guess Google, Youtube etc etc can fall under being an accessory to copyright violation?
Sure, if they flagrantly violate the law and do nothing when they are told about infringing material being uploaded to Youtube. Except that Youtube takes down infringing material when notified about it and thus, no, they aren't doing the same thing as the Pirate Bay.
But it's then okay for another multinational corporation to sue others for patents required to implement a standard that should be available to all under RAND terms? Right, we must defend Samsung at all costs cause they happen to make Android devices! Ignoring the fact that if they were doing this exact same lawsuit against HTC, Motorola, or some other Android manufacturer that Slashdot would be up in arms over it.
You do realize that Samsung has a far longer history of offensive patent suits than Apple, right? They aren't some "innocent geek" being beaten down by Apple. And in this particular case the EU is absolutely correct in going after them over their attempted abuse of their 3g patents. Sorry, but just because Samsung is an Android manufacturer does not mean their actions are correct or legal regardless of how you feel about Apple's lawsuits against them.
So then they aren't really punishing themselves. They remove sites for doing the same thing yet despite claims of no double standard they do have a double standard towards themselves.
Except that they did shift the blame and their so-called punishment of themselves is laughable. It's funny though how the Google cultists eat this up. Secondly if this advertising wasn't what they wanted why wasn't it stopped long before it became public that they had made this deal?
And yet unlike you the people who created Angry Birds don't have the luxury of their mommy and daddy paying their food, clothing, electricity, etc bills while living in their parent's basement.
Slashdot Mirror
Kodak sued them first. Along with RIM and HTC. Waaah a patent troll is being "bullied"!

Yes. Your point?
You heard it hear, folks. If this bum uses it it clearly can't be a niche OS. He's like...the whole world.
Sounds like someone is butthurt because he got chewed out for filing shitty bug reports that were vague and useless.

Easy. Don't give them your information if you don't want it publicly broadcasted. OMG such a complex solution!
So don't "like" things? What would be the point of "liking" something if you didn't expect others to see that? This is a really stupid lawsuit.

Copyrights have nothing to do with this lawsuit.

Those are costs for distributing your app on the App Store not the price of Xcode. From here with such links as:
Download Xcode 4 for Free
and
Download Xcode 4.2.1 for Lion
from the Mac App Store for Free
If you paid money for Xcode, you're an idiot.
No it doesn't. I downloaded it from the App Store on 10.7 for absolutely nothing. If you paid for it, you got ripped off.
Yeah it's as hilarious as "not jokes"... NOT

Google+ does not have 400 million users.
And yet software, music, e-books, etc. have more costs than that of replication. Hence why the price isn't zero.
