It's called "alternate revenue streams" and they will try to nickle&dime-XXL you for almost everything. A one-time charge would be plausible, but a MONTHLY fee? This is gauging. But... guess what? There's nothing you can do.
oh, I don't know. Having no land line and only a cell phone kinda negates that monthly charge thingy
I think the article misinterprets the situation. Samsung showing evidence like this could be taken that they are trying to say that they copied the ideas (perhaps even with permission) from the professor, and NOT from Apple. IANAL, but that would have a firmer legal position than challenging Apple's patent with prior art. If the court is willing to view the case in such terms they would, de facto, accept that Samsung's position (that they are not infringing) is valid.
Think what Samsung's trying to do here is show that the iPad isn't "unique". Rounded corners my arse
Funny indeed, but just in case anyone thought this was a true story about Secretary Clinton (then-Senator Clinton):
Snopes rates this 'FALSE'.
Oh Puhleeeeze ! as if anyone would have taken this seriously. But then again, with the current shenanigans being foisted by the GOP and its candidates, guess you never can tell.
I'm older than most of you and remember when lobster was peasant food on Long Island, NY. Back in the 50s early 60s, lived in Patchogue and an uncle had a charter fishing boat. He ran lobster pots also and that was what was for dinner, lobster stew, and more than once a week.
Problem is that a phone isn't just a phone anymore. I have a phone used for exactly what a phone is for, and it's tiny, but increasingly I'm needed a lot more functionality, i.e. browsing web, reading a book, hell playing a game. New iPhone will be bigger, Samsungs are all behemoths, all due to public demand, not marketing whims.
Pickens writes "Rebecca Greenfield writes that Google's Nexus tablet with its taped sides and fussy plastic takes effort to open, eliciting what some would call 'wrap rage,'
Wait, are you farking kidding me? This is an issue? Something of importance that someone named "Hugh Pickens" thought notrable enough that we all should take notice??
In other news today, it was revealed that none of the parts that make up a 2013 Ford F150 pickup engine, are compatible with any Ford trucks built only 25 years ago. Film at 11
Excuse me but could someone clarify how is "big boobs" sexist phrase? It might mean either gender. For statistical reasons I can verify that my own boobs are often larger than I see on females.
frankly, since just about every woman of my aquaintance has used that phrase, and more than once I might add, I'm puzzled. Yes, shocked and puzzled.
Must be a slow news da, when is/. going to post pics of LolCats??
To me the humor is this: why are they going after apple? Let them, surely - but why do they think it is apple who is out innovating them as opposed to the entire technology industry at large?
R U Serious???
Apple has more money than quite a few nations, and you're asking why?
Give them some credit for thinking out of the box ( at least as far as 3D printing boxes, anyway), Seems this is geared towards the same crowd tyhat would buy an iPad insyead of an Android tablet, because the Apple product is geared toward the person who just wants to say "I have one", and impress their friends.
is this knowledge common in America? How many Americans actually pay attention to their history lessons at school (playing a lot of pub quizzes, I know that a lot of my country people have a lamentably poor memory of our history of the comparable era) and then remember it? It seems a perfectly fair FYI to me.
A) Yes; B) at least one, me, probably lots more since it's some covered extensively in primary school; C) Damn shame; D) maybe medication would help with that; E) if so, what country are you currently residing in?
You do know that the Russians sold Alaska to the American government in about... (Wikis)... 1867. As an side effect of the Crimean War and the "Great Game." Hmmm, I didn't know that last bit, but it makes sense.
Not to be a snarky pain in the arse, but, OH PUHLEEEEZE !
If it was fitted into some drug running vehicle, it could be rather easy to spot and triangulate the modem.
But first you'd have to know it was a drug running vehicle, now wouldn't you? he Pi costs peanuts, model boats cost a little more, send out a few vehicles, and one has a payload. Q.E.D.
For 2 years I worked at Radio Shack,thought it would be fun. Pay was minimumwage, plus some commission, and the commissions, "perks" , and they kept getting smaller and smaller. I would have been happy with $11.91

There's nothing you can do.
My first reaction was "Oh yes there is..."
But in light of another very recent /. article, I'm not sure if the alternatives are any better.
So, do you want to give up your 4th amendment, or pay $60 a year?
"keeping your cellphone on is authorization for the police to know where you are. " That's what the "off" button's for apparently.

Apple stole these ideas long ago and claims everyone else is a thief!
no, it can't be ! St. Steve wouldn't have done that !

I can only pray to any gods that might be listening that Apple loses, and Samsung counter sues and gets damages AND court costs. St. Steve my arse

Your post is rated "Funny", but I fear that it has te ring of truth to it. Maybe a lot more than you realize

It could happen at any time..
And, theoretically, I could die from getting hit in the head, by a toilette seat from the ISS. It COULD happen
$50 for the cartridge sounds a bit expensive. You can probably find something equvalent for less than half the price from http://reprap.org/wiki/Printing_Material_Suppliers

No, we can have a "Bitchun society" with whuffie as currency .

18-25 year olds don't think bad things could happen to them.
On the bright side an 18-25 year old probably doesn't have much worth stealing.
Thought I was immortal at that age, but did have stuff worth steealing
You can't control malware the same way you can try to control nuclear weapons. Just wait and see.
holy crap ! you can control nuclear weapons. Who would have thought? You're gonna make a billion with that
