Why would they need "the community" when most of the actual paid developers are still at Oracle. The people who left were mostly auxiliary people who were easily replaceable.
RIM is a looser? Isn't it the second most used smartphone in the world ? behind nokia ? I don't call that a looser;p
Yes, if you ignore the fact that both have been losing market share quarter after quarter since the iPhone and Android phones have been released. Symbian has gone from over 50% of the global market share to less than 40%. RIM has gone from around 20% or so to less than 15%. Secondly, your figures are off about RIM. They are now 4th in market share behind both Android and iOS.
If it's such a myth, why do the actual developers agree with the fragmentation statements? The Angry Birds developers are one of the more recent and high profile examples.
I didn't say they weren't free to publish it, but to wrap themselves in the first amendment when defamatory statements carry no first amendment protections makes it a bogus claim.
Which then means any ps3 not connected to the internet cannot play new games. That would be epic fail.
How is that any different than what happens now? There have already been updates released that one was required to have in order to play newer games and/or blu-rays.
The government issued an injunction to remove comments from the web site that the site refused to obey, which puts it squarely in First Amendment territory. Their claim to be protecting the First Amendment is perfectly valid, as that amounts to government censorship of speech
If the comment truly is defamatory, it carries no 1st Amendment protection and thus their entire claim is false.
Its right to fight censorship and oppression even when it targets the fringe.
And by "fringe" you mean defamers? A type of speech that has never been ruled to be protected by the 1st amendment? Not to mention that common law tradition stretches back hundreds of years prior with precedents declaring that defamation can carry civil and/or criminal penalties?
That's funny because before the iPad came out all Slashdotters could do was point out how the iPad was nothing new and how tablets had been around for ages, etc etc. And now that the iPad has pretty much owned the entire market the excuse is that "there are no viable competitors". Would it kill you people to admit you were wrong about the iPad and it's likely success? This is like the failed Slashdot predictions about the potential success of the iPod and iPhone all over again.
Or it can actually just mean "proper" as it is a cognate of the English word. This would also make sense since many people do view a mobile OS as not really being a "proper" computer OS considering most mobile OSes have reduced functionality compared to what most people are used to on a full-blown desktop.
Thus I suspect 'mobile/clean operating system' is meant to refer to any operating system that can run on a mobile device, and then be used to play music that you probably stole.
No, that's not what is being meant and the "clean" part is a mistranslation by Google Translate. What they are saying is that there are "mobile OSes" (aka android) and "proper OSes" aka (Windows) and thus they are only going to tax the mobile OSes not what is considered a "proper" OS.
Slashdot Mirror
But a blogger at IPWorld needs you to drive up his page and ad clicks!
Quit the service and go where? To the other big cable company/telco that has the exact same bandwidth caps?
(though Microsoft are working hard to make their OS ARM compatible)
Yeah, let's ignore WinMo and WinCE that have already been ARM compatible for 15 years now.
That's great but how many of the 1 year or less Android phones and Tablets have that? Oh yeah, none of them.
Yet he doesn't even name a single piece of this GPLv3 software that Boxee uses. The entirety of his proof is:
Once you have a command prompt on your Boxee Box, type “gpgv2 --help” et voila, you are greeted with the GPLv3 header.
Wow, soooo convincing.
Because 99% of people buying computers would find that a huge hassle?
Because it's scary when something costs ONE...BILLION...DOLLARS!!!
Hey another lame comment where the person fails to realize that Adobe has offered a priced-down consumer version of Photoshop for 10 years now!

A shoddy workman blames his tools.
Unless the tool is the thing that is shoddy.

A true claim doesn't can not be defamation. Defamation is a false claiming that purports to be true but is giving some entity a bad image.

Since it was a circuit court of appeals decision, does this set precedent in other districts?
No. The case would have to be appealed to the Supreme Court and the judgment upheld to apply outside of that specific circuit.

Ummm... what?

Go google that exact phrase in quotes and the name Rush Limbaugh. Zero hits.
And? What exactly is this supposed to prove? You can Google lots of Rush quotes that he says in shows that will get zero hits on Google.
You have it backwards. They were most definitely the ones sucking Ballmer's cock.
And what the hell does a "clean operating system" mean?
It means you're relying too heavily on a shitty machine translation that just picked the first meaning of "propre" it could find.
