We've seen neutrinos from supernova arrive 4 hours earlier than light. But that from 170 light years distance. If the difference was caused by neutrinos traveling faster than light, speed difference is roughly 1000 times smaller, than what was measured recently.
And if you say that well, neutrinos can travel at different speeds, it's hard to imagine a theory, where neutrinos produced by supernova produce slower neutrinos than those produced at CERN.
In other words: most likely it's some unaccounted detail in experiment.
Apple's marked share shrank from 96% last year to 74% this year. (and that without major players like Samsung or Sony entering the market) And it is expected to go down to 44% by 2015.
According to the poster above, we have two companies with roughly the same market share, and rather close prices (!!!) yet one of them has 2/3rd of the market profit. If that doesn't make you wonder, you may wish to learn how to think.
Uhm, what? Having 2/3d of the smartphone profits with 18% market share is rather remarkable. That's why I'd prefer to know what is the source of that info and when exactly did that happen.
Because iPhone is so much more expensive than competing products, eh? Last time I've checked, Samsung & HTC products weren't particularly cheap either, costing 500 Euro-ish.
Does this "we've patented stuff that allows us to sue those, using Linux" thing work outside US / Australia? When HTC pays Microsoft for using Android (insane) is it only for devices sold in US/Australia or worldwide?
3) "(when the sizes of the devices are given accurately elsewhere..." Nope. They are shown at different angles. And there, where it really matters, it is blatantly photoshoped. And it seems this is a standard practice at Apple, they aren't afraid of blatantly lying in ads as well: http://i.imgur.com/huWri.jpg
4) "...anybody who describes merely re-sizing an image as "Photoshopping"..." is easily understood.
Can't play games on it. Some get with Wine, but with huge performance penalty. Killing OpenGL (name games that are developed for it, if it's alive) was a very smart move by Microsoft.
So did Asus with netbooks. As with tablets, they existed for quite a while, but became popular only after company "bla" created successfull (overhyped) product "bla". I don't recall Asus sueing anyone for creating netbooks though.
Remind me, whom did the company that created first notebook sue, for, uhm, creating notebooks...
Took me a while to figure how much do they actually cut from the end price, it's not something they're pleased to tell you. Especially with recent "adjustment of prices" at ebay, no wonder they have extra cache to waste on whatever idiotic idea comes to their IT management. They get 8%+ of most below 500$/Euro items sold. Outrageous.
No, the reason I hate flash (and PDF) is that on top of Windoze holes, I now have Adobe flash holes, and unlike Windoze holes, they Adobe affects all my browsers.
It is much demanded, despite being rather expensive. In fact, the only thing that would stop me from buying it, was that they've copied Apple feature: no expansion slot.
But superior build quality, amazing screen and (still) open platform are still there (yet?). I hope they won't copy it all from Apple or I'll have to look for another tablet.
I'm software developer / architect, and no, we don't "log everything" neither do we "tend to log everything".. We could not afford i.
Only tiny site that nobody uses could afford tracking every single button click and logging that for years. It's way to expensive. Unless you are going to sell this info, that is.
Proof that Apple has sold it could come from either Apple or the company that bought that info, why would either of them admit it?
You know what was so special about Solaris? It was a planet in a dual sun system => unstable orbit => conditions too hard for any imaginable form of life. Solaris (a "living planet") solved the problem by artificially keeping its orbit stable.
DRM on many games effectively kills: "buy used, play, sell" scheme. Try to do it, with, say, Starcraft II, that not only requires online activation, but is bound to your account.
So those, used to pay for games, have to pay more. And since it happens in the name of "fighting piracy" this aspect of DRM is often overlooked.
A friend of mine, working for German "youtube": myvideo.de complained, that youtube is keeping advertisement prices artificially low (remember Google complaining that youtube loses money?).

Stealing design of a rectangular device with rounded corners is shameless indeed.
I wonder, why does one need a Fab to steal that...
Could you cite your source please?
Apple has 18% of the global smartphone market share. Samsung is very close to that, with 17%.
Does this "we've patented stuff that allows us to sue those, using Linux" thing work outside US / Australia?

So does Samsung.
But they can't stand mighty photoshop skills of apple's attorneys.

What a shameless load of BS.

Obviously companies would still innovate, to create better products and hence better sales.
Your point about Bell is about monopoly, not patents.

Try to patent that in EU.
I think you'll find out you can't patent basic ideas there.

Dannon commercial video in Georgia 1977

It's Georgia not "Georgie".
Turkey is to the west of Armenia, Iran is to the South, Azerbaizhan to the East, Georgia to the North.
Last time I've checked, Samsung Galaxy street price was lower than that of ipad. (in Germany)

Tell me this is not anti-competitive.
