Your right and this is what we need to stop! If someone willfully insulted the writings and work of Shakespeare you would have 50 thousand english and play nuts ready to kill the offender, however when someone makes a completely wrong statement about computer / electronics, most of us sit back and do nothing.
Silly comparison maybe, but it's more for the point that other groups who defend knowledge take it seriously and yet most "knowledgeable" electronic geeks smile, nod and just move on without doing anything at all.
For Apple, and the rest of the corporate world, it's bad news, because it seems it's getting harder and harder to use patents as weapons. For all the huffing and puffing, most corporations discover their arsenal of patents, is nothing more than paper nukes.
For the consumers (and lawyers involved), it's a very very good thing. Please continue.
I know a newspaper from a small Kansas town that hasn't been attacked. It's produced by a 80 year old man with his mechanical typewriter. Maybe these major American news organizations could learn a thing or two from him.
I've never seen a sequence of machine code that didn't involve an incrementing address counter. The human analog is 'lines' as people observe when watching on a debugger console.
Old drum machines used an address over scheme where each instruction specified the next one. Micro code can show similar behavior.
I actually sent a very long and detailed letter the DOJ about this and how it constitutes a violation of the Sherman Act. Not Five (5) minutes after sending I received a generic reply about how Microsoft was not in violation of anything.
With all the E-Mail these people receive and the sheer size of my Letter, there is no way in hell the DOJ read my Letter that fast. What they did was see the word 'Microsoft' and instantly reject it.
Next week my lawyer is cutting me a deal to rewrite my letter and send it by other means to the right people, we'll see what happens then. Of course I have no money to fight anybody in court, but at least I am trying to get a response that isn't generic.
Drugs for staples? What kind of drug would a staple need? It's job is to hold reams of paper together securely. Unless the staple has ADHD I would think it could live a drug-free life.
You seem to be trying to hold paper together. Can I help? Love, Clippy
So, were they lying then, or are they lying now? Either way, we seem to be getting different story from anonymous PR bunnies in unspecified divisions.
Me, I get the vague impression that Uncle Fester is losing his grip, and that Microsoft's System Lords are preparing to carve mini-empires out of the wreckage when it comes off the rails.

Are they using synthetic urine to pass their tests now, too?
No, but they have a hard time maintaining a realistic temperature that doesn't trigger alarms. Borrowed is good as long as its not from a hamster.
I find it hard to stop using "the" too, but it seems this is what Ukrainians want
Did you mean the Ukrainians?
He means the toughs who hang out by the air conditioner exhaust.

They consider it much ado about nothing?

Apple watch $?
Watching Apple priceless.
Should Bastille day be a national holiday?
In countries that contain the Bastille, yes. Does the first new moon of the year fail to occur in some nation?
In counties that contain a large jail like the Bastille one might notice a momentous jailbreak, no?

Paper tiger seeks paper nukes. Paper rattling ...

Google DOES read your email, and we learned from the Patreus affair that access to that email is handed over without a warrant as well.
Are we living in a police state yet?
First they came for the generals.
Moron. I'm pretty sure your only interest is in rolling paper.
How do you keep the paper cool?
If the paper is nearly transparent, then could you have a 3D display?

That is the last time I lend my gaming gear to Abdas! I wonder why he wanted to borrow my duct tape as well.
That is duck tape used to assemble canards.
I am SO watching the superbowl now!
The commercial will arrive in your email shortly.

I tried to, but I couldn't let go.
Anyone can claim they are someone else without logging in.

Microsoft is proprietary and not generic.

Given that the US has enough nukes to melt the world twice, any large threat even before arriving will be getting quite the return visit.
I still occasionally wonder if Mecca is on the US doomsday nuke 'em all list...
That is probably on the New York Times handy list of contingency plans.
