My old Apt complex was near a big airport and I was surprised how many pilots lived there. Every morning I'd seem em come out single file and line up my bus stop to wait for the metro.
At the time I was working some shitty call enter job and actually persuaded a few to leave their air lines and come work my company, since despite their higher education and experience, made quite a bit less then me; and the Apts were not just crash pads, but basically all they could afford.
The thing is, often times the code used has code from other third parties. So just because Sony may be cool with it, all the other companies who contributed code may not be.
Well I think it's the coating. the magnets are rather brittle and wont hold up well to being banged together from it's own magnetic field, so they are coated.
Cheap ones use cheap coatings that flake off easily, and expose the magnet underneath and it ends up breaking.
Yea, I'm surprised it's not used more. I heard at one point the RIAA wanted to do the same with music files legally downloaded; put some watermark that no one would notice in the audio portion of the file.
Legal battles cost money and run the risk of getting those precious patents invalidated.
You gain nothing from legal battles other then starting a cross company war with everyone else, and any revenue from winning battles wont be seen for decades from appeals and retrials, plus the PR of looking like an asshole, and the salary for all those lawyers.
It's in everyone's better interest to cross license and keep a big wall up for anyone new. If you're going against a small guy then Legal is great as he'll have no way to practically defend himself, but another bohemouth is at best a pyrrhic victory.
So because Moto is a successful company it's OK for Apple to steal from them?
If Apple doesn't like the price then they should have thought of that BEFORE they stole. Just because you don't like the price something is sold at does not give you a right to take it with zero payment.
You make it out like Moto has some vendetta against Apple; all Moto its saying is "We went to the expense to develop and patent this tech, pay up or we can go to court and you can risk possibly paying even more."
You clearly know nothing of the HW side of things.
Most HW is sold at razor thin margins, that's why you see makers bundle in crapware to help squeeze a bit more money out of each device sold.
Apple's iPhone 4 is speculated is cost them around $180 to make, and less for several times that.
Moto may be asking Apple for more then a billion in damages, but Apple has made several times that billion in sales for their device that used Moto's patents.
Also Apple can hardly play the victim here, they too sought and were awarded over a billion dollars in damages from Samsung.
They are devices that have used the patented technology, thus it's only fair Apple should pay for all the devices. And as for the %, it's not that much even on a $500 phone when you consider the obscene margins they are sold at.
Mostly everyone was cool, they would sue each other then cross license it all as a settlement.
It was in part to create a barrier to entry, a newcomer could neither afford the licenses nor have enough clout in their own portfolio to represent a threat.
Apple basically walked in and launched the nukes by not going along with the established deal. For better or worse, I'm not making a judgment.
I find it weird how they would make something like that App required when it got some pretty horrible reviews and everyone disliked it.
It was like the ONLY 1st party Apple app that had a consistent 1 star review; and the issues people have with it, already existed at launch, they never bothered updating it just went from Painful and Optional to Unusable and Mandatory.
FYI, you can move the Podcasts back into the Music app.
Install and run the Podcast app. You'll see all your Podcasts there now. Go back to home screen, and close app in the background as well. Uninstall it. Reboot* Go back to the Music app and everything should be back the way you like it.
*Some people seem to not need to reboot.
This does NOT restore the other functions like being able to update them on your device.

I was under the impression that BOTH the free and paid version got the ads.
If you have that much money you can probably pay for a decent accountant to keep it shuffled around.
Also I doubt he'd be dub enough to eat all up the full $250k, just use a portion and reinvest the rest.
I remember that one, I wonder if they would call their bank if there was an accounting error in their favor.
> Yea I made a deposit but you added an extra zero, can you fix that?
Practically speaking there is a reason you only hear about dumb criminals; the mart ones are smart because they don't fucking blab about it.
I'll see people who rob or steal something then brag on Facebook publicly about it; at that point you might as well turn yourself in.
I wonder how it would work out if compared to a safety deposit box.
Yep, they want all the functionality of a bank, but none of the regulation.

That's what mine does, every week there is a power system test including running the generators to burn off some fuel.
How do you mean?
Like access to the fuel from private companies? Are they forced to sell to FEMA if they have the fuel vs. someone who they made a contract with?
Your reply makes no sense...

Yep, the 2.25% would equal around the same billion Apple was awarded against Samsung.
Well the thing is, it's the same basic deal Apple did with Samsung, even the damage amount would be similar.
Apple -> Samsung = Fuck Apple
Moto -> Apple = Fuck Moto

Am curious, what exactly ARE their demands?
Just tons of money or something oddly specific?
Staring at air is amusing when you're on LSD.

Yea, iTunes seems to be the only real way now.
Apple really dropped the ball on this one.
