Um, Norway, July 22 2011? 83 dead? That is ONE year ago. And certainly not "non-deadly". Not over blasphemy though, if that is an important filter for you.
Why do you think there were bribes involved? Do you think every court decision is bought instead of evaluated on the merits of evidence and arguments? Which corrupt country do you live in?
Not if the patent covers the manufacture that Apple doesn't do - in that case it needs to be baked into the price if they want it covered. It's not like you need to pay a separate royalty to the author when you buy a book, either...
How are they stifling innovation if they force companies to do things in a different way - that is, to innovate? "Copy someone's success" hasn't been new for ages.
Don't fandroids keep harping about all the new stuff in Android that iPhone doesn't? How were those innovations stifled?
Islam is just "version 3" of the same desert fairy tales that Christians and Jews believe in. Many of the "opponents" to Islam are just the deluded worshipers of the other two not liking the competition.
Are you sure about that? He married an 8-year old for political reasons, but stayed married to her long after she reached maturity. If he was a pedophile, would he not have ditched her for another child instead?
(Child brides were rather common in the Christian Middle ages as well; the concepts of pedophilia and age of consent are relatively modern and secular, largely based on women's rights campaigners. In many religions children - in particular girls - are almost treated as property. Remember the Old Testament: "But all the children among the women that have not known lying with a man, keep alive for yourselves." - Numbers 31:18)
They built on the work of others and made it fly longer than the others did. But they built something innovative and patented that so they were not patent trolling.
You use the word "undiscoverable" as if there is such a thing. Everything is "discoverable".
If I take down the number sign next to my door it does not make my apartment "undiscoverable". Someone can still open the door and walk in. Obscurity is not security.
Um, if a programmer writes a single piece of code that _presumes_ anything about input, you fire his sorry ass: The QR code has a number of bits that you know when you start scanning, and in the worst case you use a dynamic buffer since a QR code is finite.
Buying hugely expensive gear without any reseach into actual need or competition for the contract: $billions Costs to businesses and the public purse because of false alarms: $millions Constructing post-facto justifications for the purchase and deployment: priceless.
There are some things tax money can buy. For everything else, there is "the terrorist card".
Apple never claimed to "invent" that any more than Microsoft claimed they invented word processing by releasing Word. They just made their own versions of it. The myths the Church of Anti-Apple is constructing baffle me. Even more, that you seem to believe your straw-man constructs.
Should every product only be manufactured by the first person/company to think of a category?

Another is: "Let's throw in this element from Mithranism while we are cooking up this new religion of ours. It is popular back in Rome."
Even a blind person could see the difference between a Star Trek datapad prop and an iPad. http://edwardcheever.wordpress.com/tag/data-pad/

Well, given that you misspelled his name and he has been dead for 20 years now...
notorious for ignoring royalties on patents
Only in your dreams, unless you can cough up some references.
"Fanboys in the courts"... seriously? Are Apple the new Jewish Cabal or something?

Well, fewer than died because of the radio broadcasts in Rwanda back then... more advanced tech, less deaths. Progress.
So, do you also oppose the restrictions on free speech inherent in e.g. wide-ranging pornography laws, the Wikileaks debacle and so on?

You can justify it by saying you are buying an iPhone to support Apple in their fight against Motorola?
It's obvious as hell
Thirty years of UI interface design where the obvious thing was to stop abruptly when you came to the beginning/end say: WHAT?

Exactly: Saint Google absolves you from your sins... :)
What it says!
Does not start with 0xCAFEBABE, would thus be rejected by the JVM as a bytecode format error.

Yeah, and the Catholic Church is really a pedophile ring in disguise, only a few handful treat children with respect.
Then ask the victims of a multitude of bombings whether the IRA and ETA were a peaceful bunch of flower-power Christians.
Put it next to your Foxconn-made Cisco router and HP laptop to make a chorus.
But isn't China a socialist country? I thought the myth about socialism was that people got money for free without having to work for them!
They hax0r our b0xorz!
