So now Ubuntu's lawyers don't read their own legal policy http://www.canonical.com/intellectual-property-policy . I looked into it when I wrote a blog post about Canonical going bankrupt eventually. Note: "You can use the Trademarks in discussion, commentary, criticism or parody, provided that you do not imply endorsement by Canonical."
So not only is it fair use it also is ok under their own intellectual trademark policy.. Talk about one hand not knowing what the other is doing.
Why is it that every time someone official from Canonical speaks or does an interview they come off as an odd combination of whining and arrogance. We are the greatest thing ever. We are changing the world. Why is everyone so mean to poor little us?
I have never liked the GPL and I've been involved in open source since the early 90s. I've never liked the GPL or really considered it a free license. It's a controlling license. Freedom is not "you are free because you have to do what we tell you." There are 3 types of licenses:
Not only that but Russia and China have always been good friends, even after soviet russia fell down.
Actually this statement is inaccurate. Russia and China have been antagonistic toward each other through most of the past. There was a short period of cooperation after the Chinese civil war but that quickly turned sour as the two countries differed in their approaches to communism. Relations only began to improve after the fall of the USSR
I guess I am not considering the linux kernel the OS in this case. My phone runs a version of the linux kernel as do the nodes on the supercomputer, but the many of the things around them are very different.
" The really interesting opportunity is to unify all of these different kinds of computing. Let's make one OS that runs on the phone AND on your supercomputer. " That just sounds horribly efficient. The needs of the different types of computer platforms are all quite divergent. The small power saving OS on a tablet focused on user interactions has almost no relation to what is needed to run a petaflop computing platform. They may both be based off the same core kernel but to have the same code just seems daffy.
Here's a crazy idea. Instead of letting a third party, that sees you only as a money source, control your brand. Make your own site and control your brand. I really don't get companies using facebook at all.
"Samsung's infringing sales have enabled Samsung to overtake Apple as the largest manufacturer of smartphones in the world. Samsung has reaped billions of dollars in profits and caused Apple to lose hundreds of millions of dollars through its violation of Apple's intellectual property."
Since when is innovating "freaking out". There is a long standing tradition of trying many different form factors and designs. Well at least for companies not named Apple. It's exciting to see all these possibilities. Time to move behind the frankly terrible interface of a capacitive touchscrean only.
Being outsold by another product does not mean the windows phone interface isn't "lovely and intuitive" It just means you've been outsold. Consumers often do not chose based on the best product.

That Sprint still exists
Yeah but it's not like losing tubmlr would harm anything :)

You must be new here, /. has been anti apple since 1998 and we made fun of OS 8
It's to become a crazy old man and John McAfee is my template.

Captain Power was one of the greatest viewing experience of my childhood. Ranks up there with the first time I saw a boob in a movie.

So if open is so much better for developers, then why are iOS developers making 75% of the revenues from mobile app downloads?

Money != morality
Closed systems are bad um ok

Stupid people accused of saying stupid things.

Like all social media slashdot.ORG should be a property of the community not a some corp looking to gain profit.
Without a doubt. But I think the added cult of personality around Steve Jobs makes the apple fans more devoted.
Why is it that most times a mac mac speaks I feel like I am listening to a cultist.. oh wait... just answered my own question.

I really thought when Jobs died they'd start waking up and stumble out into the light, like at the end of Logan's Run.
