La Vorgna will now be accused (perhaps correctly, and we could run some stats about that) of blaming Apple for NYC crime. The other headline-that-writes-itself is iPhone Thefts/Finally/ Affect Apple Profits Negatively (The Empire* Strikes Back).
The wars in Africa are old school, in the sense that it's a bunch of people fighting a bunch of people with somewhat decent weapons, on the ground. For the most part, they don't have fighter jets, they don't have close air support, they don't have forward air controllers, they don't have long range artillery, just a bunch of people with Kalashnikovs shooting each other. These are the types of wars that really haven't been fought by the developed world since about World War I.
Steve Ballmer Roams The Halls Of Microsoft Swinging A Baseball Bat
Microsoft's history is filled with stories about its rough culture, from it's "stack-ranking" employee reviews to how Bill Gates used to yell, "That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard." Here's another one: Six-foot-two Steve Ballmer sometimes brings a baseball bat with him into meetings, and that's if he's feeling happy...
At the risk of invoking a sort of inductive-Godwin here, wasn't that a trick Al Capone used to do?
Sounds to me like a lost business opportunity. If they stumbled upon a significant demand for a service, then should've simply expanded their offerings to include that service. I'm not sure why you would go to the trouble of changing your name to avoid having to deal with people asking to do business with you.
I'm not saying Brazil isn't an interesting market, but it probably isn't in the top 5. It is really not that simple/cheap to check the entire world for trademarks. Also I guess the naming scheme started before the music player could place phone calls. I guess they checked iPod more thoroughly.
On the other hand this is not the first time this company gets in trouble for using other peoples trademarks. A certain British music label comes to mind...
I understand hangglider users are rather annoyed at this: Those transponders are designed for extreme reliability and durability, and as such they are of considerable weight. Enough to seriously impair performance on such a small and lightweight glider.
Corner reflectors and tinfoil hats come to the rescue.

There has been 3D movies for decades, (50s or 60s... to lazy to check) but just recently the technology allow it to became mainstream.
Fort Ti and House of Wax were both in 1953.
This immediately suggests an improved scheme for catching house mice...
Then the cat gets drunk.

They took out the iron to stop launderimg it, so the value went up.

Progress is the root of all evil.
Progressives even more so.
Clearly it would be a big foot coming down from the sky to flatten him.
Or a winged python?
What's congress going to do about it?!
Name a post office you insensitive clod.

No one thought of Al Capone as ineffective.
Quantum Mechanics explains Physics (but nobody really knows why).
Physics explains Chemistry
Chemistry explains Biology
All of biology (indeed, all of life) is created from an infinite number of configurations of the same small number of building blocks.
Like Mexican cooking.
Just have drones drop cash above drop locations... hee hee.
Another Keynesian.
Um, you totally forgot beef jerky. Come on. You're better than this.
Whale jerky, like beef only better.
I love how a language that was "fast enough" in the '90s is now suddenly "too slow" in 2013.
What's with the "I need all my code hyper-optimized" crowd on /. these days? We running a Gentoo help forum I didn't notice?

All they have to do now is implement 'ed' inside Vim inside Emacs, and we'll have a Software Turducken!

Their regular customer repellant was not working.
If vim and emacs merged into one application, would the resulting application donate Richard Stallman to Uganda?
No, more likely North Korea

Don't these people realize we're in the 3D printing epoch now? Can they just print out a new LHC in less than two years?
And a small black hole is the best cutting tool in the universe.
Hurt what sales? I don't think many people are interested in the Surface either way.
People in submarines are very interested in surface.

one company owning everything...
The Phone Company (TPC)?
So the progress is being unmade ?
Like its going ahead three steps and then two steps back again ? :P
Its the hokey pokey bar then.
Thirty years ago I expected that we'd have robots by 2013, but I never imagined that they'd just be circuit boards with wheels...
I would imagine there is an R2D2 toy somewhere that could use this as a robot base.
