Dubal, you're right on the money. The madness is now full-blown. And the funny thing is that, if you lose $5000 in california, inside apple's campus, the police is going to have a great laugh at you.
wft steve jobs? did you report this as stolen? are you filing criminal and/or civil charges? Are you really taking advantage of your company's incompetence? You already like to go all-gestapo in that fucking app store, but it's time for you and all your altar-boys in Apple to back the fuck down from the religious fanaticism, respect the press, respect developers, and stop disrespecting users with your "retarded customer confusion" pile of shit.
The people I feel most sorry for are the intelligent, independent, Apple employees who are in crisis mode and daily thinking about publicly screwing you over, along with your madness.
THIS is the reason they threw you out from Apple in the past, Steve. And I tend to think you sorta want to see if they'll do it again, hence all of these shenanigans.
I hope this becomes the magical and revolutionary mother of all streisand effects, and that it comes at an unbelievable price.
"I just love how he thinks this is worth $100 million!"
I think he thinks if he says it enough times it will come true.
Ok Mike Mann, tap your heels together three times and say "Sex.com is worth $100 million... Sex.com is worth $100 million... Sex.com is worth $100 million..."
I'm sure that if he wasn't so anal about the price the growth prospects would be better.
HYPE. More grand unified hype. The "grand unified theory" is just a mashup of old-days rules & inferences engines thrown in with probabilistic models. Hyperbole at its finest, to call it a grand unified theory of AI. Where are connotations and framing effects? How does working short term memory interact with LTM and how does Miller magic number show up? How can the system understand that "john is a wolf with the ladies" without thinking that john is hairy and likes to bark at the moon? I could go on but feel free to fill in the blanks. So long and thanks for all the fish MIT.
That would make one euro worth 100 USD. Hyperinflation and a massive, unprecedented crisis of confidence. Imagine everyone and everything (companies, governments) having a three year long panic attacks and you might be able to see what could happen in this crazy monkeysphere. Today is a day of darkness.
QWERTY was technically better considering it didn't jam your typewriter.
True. Yet, my point still stands. QWERTY is sub-optimal for today; and there's low probability that it will be obsolete anytime soon. --> Historical, accidental, political, and economic reasons play a huge part in setting up which technology will become de facto standards. And while I'm getting the heat here in this thread, I think that that expression that theora (or other open video standard) will win if it's technically better is seriously naive. There's much more to that than technical excellence.
I hope Bilsky will not invalidate this beautiful Patent Troll Patent; so these Patent Trolls will have to pay up to a Patent Troll for their Patent Trolling. Imagine this, a monopoly of Patent Trolling!
Companies that operate contrary to the national interest of the countries they operate in, shouldn't be allowed to operate in those countries.
So you support Iran's and NK's and China's blocking of youtube/twitter/google, etc? If you don't, watch out for your double standards. If you really think companies shouldn't be allowed to exist while annoying their governments, please go work for the gleat leader. I hate IBM but I must say this; they're on their right not to disclose what isn't required.
Principles (free market, free speech, etc) are only meaningful if you stand by them when they are inconvenient.
Your post is a testament as to why there are no advanced commercial games or most advanced pieces of software running on Linux. The publishers just might as well ask you: Where are the users? What have you done with them?
Does anyone actually ever use the default Ubuntu theme? I know whenever I install Gnome the first thing I do is set it to clearlooks.
AND perhaps that is the single extra step that frustrates complete newbies to linux. They see that ugly shit, and have to find out how to save their computer, then after a while go back running to Redmond's heart. I've seen it happens so many times it disgusts me. Why won't linux ever compete? For real? Nothing of the usual arguments, like "it is beautifully designed", or "just open the terminal and sudo gedit/blah/blah", or "don't like go build your own distro"; or "don't make it look anything at all like (windows/osX/anything else in the future the the masses of users become familiar with)", and other linux clichés I can't remember right now. The only really ugly stuff I believe people buy (and pay loads of money for) are Panerai watches and that effing stupid Vertu cellphone.
Anyways, this is a moot issue. The only shot linux has for major adoption is, IMHO, brought to you by the "Non-Evil" corporation.

2. claim Apple stole it from me?
3. profit!!!
wtf "stolen"? The guy CALLED apple. Why bend reality and common sense to fit in the Apple-approved narrative?
found IS NOT EQUAL TO stolen, Gruber
stealing-->lawyer tries to hide incompetence through some spin only religious-altar-boy Gruber would believe
Apple has lost its shit; in the full meaning of the phrase.

Developers cannot compete with apple in apps for the iPhone. This is what's going to bring the app store down

It's all nice and all, but if open video technology really wants to win, they have to be technically better.

Anyone for slashdot.xxx ? Not a bad idea, we could use it to have nude pictures of slashdotters.

Greeting and salutations! Perhaps I could refer you to this, if I may?
The first impression people get is extremely important. Here is a video with the ubuntu theme: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oavMtUWDBTM
This is a community website. Steve Ballmer, sir, you are out of order.
does this mean ubuntu is going postal?
Keep that spirit going, you!
