Not that I care* since the full face touch screen phone is clearlhy obvious, but Apple must be really tricky if they can keep evidence of Samsung's own designs from Samsung.
* Heck I wrote the code for a "phone" running on an iPAQ (oh look a non-apple i* name) PDA in 2001 or so. Not a useful thing, a prototype that used SIP/RTP for making actual calls over wifi (the device itself actually did the RTP part with yet another layer hiding the SIP stuff since the phone portion was a minor part of the overall setup). It was obvious then, and it's obvious now - just back then the touch screen hardware wasn't good enough, at the price points we were dealing with anyway.
Of course most of the draw backs from back then still apply now, the joys of trying to use an on screen dialer UI in direct sunlight for example.
No they are distinct. Well it depends on which definition you are using of course, actual investments don't exist in the real world since nothing guarantees return of principal (governments go bust on occassion).
But the usual useful definition would be speculation is buying something because you expect it to be worth more in the future (or selling something because you think it will be worth less in the future). Whereas investment would be something that promises a interest payments or dividend payments over time without any expectation or price changes.
So given dividend levels in recent times, everyone in the stock market has been speculating.
So when my bank moves their web servers from one data center to another for whatever reason, every single customer has to be informed to update their shortcuts.
And when someone else gets assigned the old IP addresses and also puts up a copy of the bank web site on them it's the customers fault for clicking on an old link, right?
When I change my phone service provider I move my phone number along with me, precisely so that the people I know don't have to update their address books. But you want a bank to inform all their customers of each change and have all of them keep their address books up to date at all times?
The patents are open and that isn't being challenged in the slightest.
Microsoft is simply asking the judge to please not reveal to the world how much they paid for something.
Do you want your employer to publish the details of your salary and benefits and work hours? Is them not doing so the same as them hiding that they are employing you?
No the blurb is irrelevant, the report is irrelevant, but you wanted a link for your own reasons.
The campaigning at embassies and dinners so on is what they succumb of don't succumb to, but you won't see any of the details of that short of someone sending them to wikileaks.
And no I didn't claim that the Australian Government rolled. You claimed that. I don't know what happened with the legislation and don't care enough to look it up.
You mightn't have heard of the United Staes Trade Representative, but they are the government and everyone who cares about international trade certainly has heard of them. That a foreign government has or hasn't passed a bill is irrelevant to whether the US made noise about it. In fact not passing a bill might be an indication that the noise worked.
And yes that is screaming - not to the public since the public aren't the intended audience. Not the actual publication but the talking about it.
And applying diplomatic pressure is what governments do to each other, and that is what was done. What were you expecting the US to do? Send in the marines?
There's no need for a next you'll just move the goal posts again.
Because economies balance. Low prices cause increased demand and result in higher prices. Exporting (including exporting services like "cloud stuff") cause an increased demand for the local currency which causes it be worth more and hence prices to rise for those buying your stuff.
Yes a government can spend huge amounts of money counteracting this - but usually both halves have to play. And at some point the money runs out.
See China and the US for the rather large current example. If the US government stopped selling treasuries to China the game would halt as inflation kicked up to obscene levels in China due to less ability to recycle the incoming dollars in ways that don't cause too much local price inflation.
Of course not, they're just one such country who also happens to be a country with a pretty large IT industry so that it might actually be an issue.
Yes, Iran invades people's privacy as well - but Iran isn't high on the list of places to buy "cloud storage" from.
China does to, but while China is a popular IT outsourcing destination I haven't seen a lot of "cloud storage" stuff from their (or India) - network connectivity is significantly worse than the US after all.
The underlying issue is non-domestic storage. It doesn't matter what country it is in, you have reduced the protection of your data. Now both your local government and a foreign government can request your data (and the foreign one can also physically take the hard drives). Maybe if your local government is in the business of taking physical servers by force but not doing anything about someone refusing to supply requested data you gain something - but that seems an unlikely combination.
In November 2011, new draft legislation was introduced into Parliament that would prohibit the overseas storage of any Australian electronic health records. This would pose a significant trade barrier for U.S. information technology companies with data centers located in the United States or anywhere else outside of Australia.
Except that a lethal dose of 0mg doesn't mean "no lethal dose", that would mean everyone is already dead from it or at least that a trace amount would kill you. It means +inf mg, or pick a ridiculously large number because filling yourself with 5000 kg of nitrogen will also kill you.
5mg is closer to 0.5mg than 5000000000mg is, so yes the guy saying no lethal dose is "more wrong".
That's completely irrelevant because it doesn't say "the right of the well regulated Militia to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed". The definition of "well regulated Militia" doesn't change what "the people" means.
The consitution isn't inscribed by god in stone, there are well used processes for making changes. But until you get the language changed to say what you would prefer it to say what actually matters is what it says now.
So if they were instead going to eat the courier cost you would have just returned a perfectly working device because you don't understand that there's more than one type of DVI cable?
Gee I wonder why other places charge more? Could it have something to do with having to eat the costs of morons returning things that work just fine if you plug the damn things in correctly?
Sure, if you know nothing about DVI. But then you should be buying it from from a place that provides guidance rather than a cheaper place that lets you work out that if the resolution is higher than the single link DVI standard allows then it won't work with a single link DVI cable.
Cover the hole with a tamper evident easily breached sticker of some sort. I don't really care about the details but I'm sure you can find something cheap that is easy to apply and shows evidence of tampering.
Sure someone can still open the door, but they can also kick the door in or more likely steal a card from a cleaner or tell the desk they lost their key and are in room X.

I would expect so, very few things have only one input factor. But for this factor, that question seems valid enough.
Still on vista I take it?
One implies being intelligent is just luck in the bilogy dice roll. The other implies you can change your intelligence through some sort of effort.
Yeah you don't get more flimsy evidence than a working exploit.
Have you tried having someone waterboard you? That should be a reasonable replacement without needing to mess aroun with proxies.

What sort of moron wants a fair fight if they can have an advantage?
Which is what he said, i far fewer words and with far more clarity.

And lots of pretty average people hated things that you liked. Which also isn't exactly earth shattering news.
If you like that style of thing it's great, if you don't the unsurprisingly you won't like it.

It's an auction. What sort or retard would turn down a $5 billion bid and instead give it to the guy bidding $50 million?
And the $5 billion was for 4 Olympic games. NBC paid $2 billion total for two: the 2010 winter and the 2012 summer games.

Assuming that "fun ways" means "fired instantly".
