  1. Re:below cost? on Judge Approves Settlement In eBook Price-Fixing Case · · Score: 1

    This isn't just about Amazon and Apple. It's the fact no one will be able to compete against Amazon. If you don't think that's a problem then there's something wrong with you.

  2. Re:pocket change on Oracle To Pay Google $1 Million For Lawyer Fees In Failed Patent Case · · Score: 1

    And I doubt their manufacturing half is going to lose money to show their allegiance to the mobile side. Not to mention it'd be dumb to think there aren't contracts in place. Whether anyone likes Apple or not, no they don't need samsung. It's Apple designed chips and any monkey can take their instructions and build the chip. I believe in fact they were looking around at other suppliers for processors and screens already. Like any other business they're always looking for ways to minimise costs to fill their pockets (rather than give us a discount)

  3. Re:But Anonymous has? on Apple Denies FBI Had Access To UDIDs · · Score: 1

    The iphone 5 isn't going to be sitting on shelves. So I don't think they care what a few people say online.

    Keep in mind the internet does no reflect real life. Most gamers claim to have Call of duty and bitch about it being unoriginal and full of angry kids. it's still one of the top sellers despite hearing so many people claim they're boycotting it.

  4. Re:universal connector on Apple Says "No" To Releasing New Dock Connector Specs · · Score: 1

    Are they all fat fingered or something? I can't say I've ever ruined a cable for an Apple device or any device. Seems pretty hard to break something that just slides in and out of a hole.

  5. Re:No thanks on Impending CA Sales Tax Sparks Amazon Buying Frenzy · · Score: 1

    Any tax money amazon gets, they'd get anyway. If $9 more breaks the bank on a $100 purchase then you shouldn't be spend the $100 anyway.

  6. The content doedn't matter on Why Apple Should Stop Censoring Apps · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The app is basically a web page. It doesn't belong in the app store and should be used via safari.

    Apple runs their store like many shops and decides what they want to sell. You can do whatever you want in the browser. Which is fine by me. We need to start pushing HTML 5 harder. It's pretty good to go on real browsers.

  7. Re:This is a problem with consumers, not Apple. on Why Apple Should Stop Censoring Apps · · Score: 1

    You're an idiot is what you are. MacBooks don't run iOS and if you struggle with it, you're a computer noob.

  8. Re:Huge misunderstanding on EA Exec Won't Green Light Any Single Player-Only Games · · Score: 1

    They're saying it's easier to control consumers, attempt to kill used game sales and force people to quit playing games when it has to call home.

  9. Re:So where did they come from? on FBI Denies It Held iPhone UDIDs Stolen By AntiSec · · Score: 1

    Of course not or people will start believing those rumours about backdoors built into windows, OS X, etc for the government and might demand that changes.

  10. Re:Interesting, very interesting +1 on First Impressions of Windows 8 Powered Nokia Lumia 920 and 820 · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    If it's as good as they claim that won't be a problem. Android is full of freetards and pirates so devs will happily jump to any platform where people will actually pay for their apps.

  11. pocket change on Oracle To Pay Google $1 Million For Lawyer Fees In Failed Patent Case · · Score: 1

    Oracle could lose that and not notice. So I'm not sure why people are laughing. I'm sure they don't want to pay purely because it's a reminder they lost but that amount won't break the bank.

    In fact that's half the problem. It's no wonder these corporation sue each other so much when it's so cheap.

    Samsung aren't Chinese, you idiot.

    If them having your UDID is a big deal then who the hell is going to just submit to to a random web page?

  14. Re:So is apple... on Anonymous Leaks 1M Apple Device UDIDs · · Score: 1

    I think it's safe to say any commercial OS (at least in the US) has given the US government access to your system in some way and the government is no doubt busy trying to sneak backdoors into Linux distros or apps as well.

  15. Re:$100 per year. on Will Developers Finally Start Coding On the iPad? · · Score: 0

    Given I see people bitch about paying a whole dollar for software, $100 must be like infinity to them.

    Someone doesn't understand web development.

  17. They'll get it on Google Patents Software To Identify Real-World Objects In Videos · · Score: 1

    I'm sure the government will see to it that they get this so Google and provide them information about brown people in return.

    People should host their own content or find a company not interested in takin gall their data to sell advertisements and quit handing their life to google.

    And what's the iphone and ipad use? Flash is an especially awful for mobiles. Selecting that for Android was just stupid and lazy.

  21. Re:Remote deletion on Kindle Fire Is Sold Out Forever · · Score: 1

    The ability is there, The software doesn't know if what it is deleting is malicious or not. Plus taking google at face value is a bit dim. After all this is the company that supposedly had no paid journalists and then managed to come up with a list after the judge told them to get real. They're not going to disclose anything that makes them look bad.

  22. Get rid of it on BBC Keeps Android Flash Alive In the UK · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It's obvious the BBC crapped their pants over this but that is what they get for using a proprietary solution. They need to focus on not being cheap and rewriting it in something else.

  23. More governments should be like this on Russia's New Secure Android Tablet Keeps Data From Google · · Score: 1

    Too many governments (and busineses) trust US hosting like Amazon or US software companies and don't realise they're basically handing all their data over to the US government. Data should not be stored in the US.

    Except the terms state you can't sell apps that are basically just a web page. As far as I know he did not even use map Apis or anything. It's website so quite rightly it's not and app and can be accessed via the browser.
