Come on, that's pocket change for a bunch of tax avoiding cunts like Google. That's like fining someone 50 cents for speeding. Do you really think a lesson was taught?
Unbiased doesn't mean it's of value. After all this is the guy that thought the greatest thing he could do for an internet connection was move to Australia. The guy is a bit of a muppet.
Actually to be fair, I blew my wad a bit too early and forgot it was just a franchise owner of numerous Papa John's stores that was the Romney douche.
But, there is nothing inherently wrong with supporting Romney. But the people that supported him purely because they're selfish and don't want to give their workers a fair deal then I'm not going to think much of them.
My company has been doing this for ages. It just makes sense and I'm really surprised NASA does not do it already.

A walled garden would mean you could only get apps from their shop and they restrict who can be in it. That's not the case, their mac app shop is one of many solutions so even if they're strict about what gets in there that doesn't mean much. You have tons of other options for selling an application.
People have already requested that apps be taken off google's shop. Apple is probably easier to deal with and are perceived as having the most popular app store so you would go to them first. But if the company is serious then I can't see them stopping there.
No it wouldn't. Unless they made the site unreachable.

Microsoft was trying to lock in people long before Apple and it's caused more problems for everyone. Hell even MS wants to get people off IE6 as an example.
IOS is Apple's only walled garden and quite frankly, it makes more sense and as a result their app store is a far better experience than the Google store. If you don't like it then jail break it. No one will stop you. But Macs aren't in a walled garden. You're free to do what you want with them including putting another OS on it and, unlike iOS their Mac app store accepts GPL code. It's nothing more than a prettier package manager and if you really think that's a bad thing then what option is there? Even Linux has an "app store".
Canonical offers an app store which just a package manager prettied up. if you think that's a walled garden then all Linux distros are a walled garden.
I believe every single app store has pulled content for trademark / copyright issues so the only thing that would be different is they'll ask for names and then the company searches for memory, gets a list and they're banned. I'm not sure that's better. It would be better if you couldn't trademark something as generic as memory.
I totally agree. You should have the right to defend yourself and exercise it if you won't end off worse for it. It's just unfortunte that defending yourself usually requires more time and money than your average person has to spend.
I would say they will just have to suck it up and pay up for borrowing ideas. Their side got to interview jurors too. It seems funny they didn't know his history until right after the trial was over. If anything he's a plant from their side, imo.
If MS' patents aren't FRAND they can demand 50% if they want. The point of FRAND patents is stopping people from creating a standard and gouging everyone because they have to use it. It's not a standard you can ask for anything.
Fair might not mean cheap but FRAND stands for Fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory. I think there is a case for it not being reasonable and unless they charge everyone that then it is discriminatory.
By that logic what Stalin did was fine because hitler was first. Let's not forget that actually Motorola started early on. I believe in fact actually they started it. Google just had nothing of value in this area until they bought Motorola. They're no better than the others and trying to justify their tactics is rather fanboyish.
Yeah we should all be no compromise tough guys because that's worked out so well for us so far. You always have to compromise and any intelligent person realises that. You just don't automatically roll over and give in completely to someone but you should compromise. The no compromise mentality is what makes someone a Hitler.
Samsung is certainly a safe option because as you say they know what they can get out of them. The last thing they need to do is rush a switch. I suspect they are investigating their other options if they haven't already like anyone else would.

And yet it won the console race.
Sorry but I'm not going to run something that could enable Windows viruses.
Enterprise is a code word for bloating off-shored insecure pig shit. Unfortunately some people aspire for more.

The owner of Papa John is a Romney supporting douche bag on top of a maker of shit pizzas. I hope they hit him with the highest possible penalty.

This is a company that used icons from the iphone in a shop shop display. They either don't think things through properly or they knew there was realistically only one outcome.

And explaination of how frand patents work isn't an accusation so don't get your fanboy panties in a wad.
Yeah I'm sure someone selling $0.99 games which almost certainly aren't in the top ten can afford a lawyer to take them on.

Do you think the German company won't go after Android apps? Side loading doesn't mean anything when someone shuts the developer down.
