    Red herring argument. Your genius isn't really one, so you try to move the debate on something irrelevant.

    does that include shaking hands with the "president" ?

    and I once brought a metal firecracker revolver at school (in Europe), openly playing with it during recess. Would it be wise to do it today ? Probably not.

    So, it's all a marketing fraud ?

    Classical survivorship bias, because 1 item survived him doesn't mean he doesn't have his own pile of garbage.

    I would expect to find chip-on-boards in any modern design.

  12. Re:Article misses the point on Ahmed Mohamed, His Clock, and the Curious Turn of Events · · Score: 1

    we are talking about a one-piece part (made of a few sub-parts) from a 80's electronic clock. It's not rocket science to merely... move it to a different cast. On a personal side, the reason I generally could not put stuff back together is because the tear-down involved destructive force. And anyway, the gizmo I was playing with was already broken. I agree, it would have been awesome to fix it, but I wasn't there yet.

  13. Re:Genius or not on Ahmed Mohamed, His Clock, and the Curious Turn of Events · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Yes, it does. Because the clock isn't his invention. There is no honor in undeserved glory.

  14. Genius ? Really ? No, Sir. on Ahmed Mohamed, His Clock, and the Curious Turn of Events · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I'm gonna be bold, but he didn't invent shit. At best, from the picture, the "clock" seems more to be a commercial product hacked up in a different case. Why would he add 2 source of power (9V battery + main) ? Why do this on 2 different boards linked up by ribbon cables ?

    The situation is nowhere near the same. You can choose not to use Google products, whereas you couldn't, and pretty much still can not choose whether or not you want Microsoft products (and associated costs) when you buy a new machine.

  21. Re:Mockery of a trial... on Google Found Guilty of "Abusing Dominant Market Position" In Russia · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Yes, my argument is just that the EU will use the argument even if it comes from Russia. It is not looking for a fair trial, but for justification to issue the fine. This is the same argument than Internet censorship, where some French politician had the beautiful argument "China's has done it.".

  22. Mockery of a trial... on Google Found Guilty of "Abusing Dominant Market Position" In Russia · · Score: 1, Troll

    This goes in line with the current Russian policy to bash on western interests. Though, I'm pretty sure the EU will now use this decision as a precedent to extort money from Google in their own "anti-trust" propaganda, quoting it as a "precedent".

    That being said, it's weird that nobody has yet targeted Apple, who is certainly an order of magnitude more restrictive than Google, and is as much, or more loaded than Google...
