Seriously? OMG why don't these little boys agree to play nice and let the customer decide who wins? This is a great way to kill innovation. Why create a new product if you have Apple or Samsung just waiting to sue you out of the market. The court needs to see the bigger issue and throw both of their claims out.
No wonder why their network sucks. You can't get any new parts. Seriously though this guy must have been really stupid to think he could get away with it. A word of advice for ya dude, If you drop the soap in the shower don't bend over to pick it up.
this is a smart way to avoid negative publicity. 'apple sues xyz' makes apple sound like an evil company. 'digitude innovation sues xyz' is a way protecting the brand
Except that those in the know aint fooled and those that don't know don't care so they are only fooling themselves. Silly evil empire you should have hired Righthaven.
Evidently you think American engineers are idiots. The frequency hopping patterns for drone communications are produced by a cryptographically-secure random number generator with a pre-negotiated seed. Snoop it all you like; this isn't your neighbor with unsecured wifi, it's your neighbor with AES512 and a fifty-word passphrase surfing over a VPN tunnel.
You'd need a stable uplink to a military satelite and a supercomputer to brute force the encryption to even get close to taking over one of those drones. Oh yeah they probably have a triple redundant auto destruct sequence so if those Iranian fools actually did manage to bring one down all they would get is a scrap heap strewn over a thousand yards. Do the Iranian people know there government is run by a bunch of backwards jackasses. They should come to america where our government is run by greedy filthy jackasses. At least they are not backwards./rant
Computers with their better graphics cards and processors made consoles obsolete years ago but that didn't prompt a mass exodus to PC's. People like gaming on a big screen (who wouldn't) and I seriously doubt that will change any time soon. I just can't see a console with a 40-50 inch flat screen being replaced by a cell phone or tablet with almost no screen.
F#ck you AT&T. You're not fooling anyone. As soon as you think no one is looking you're going to break the company apart, keep what you want and dump the rest. Even the FCC saw through you're plan.
Congress needs to fix the budget, quit arguing over partisan politics and focus on bigger issues like the trade deficit manufacturing and china-russia etc stealing our secrets. Get back to work.
The Republican Party as it stands right now has a limited chance of defeating Obama next year. Romney and Gingrich will split the party vote even though only one will get the party nod. Both of them have enough money and support to continue on even if they don't get the nomination. Obama just needs to keep his foot out of his mouth and keep doing what he is doing.
IANAL but if you needed to have a confidential conversation with a lawyer he's most likely going to tell you to come in to the office. That's just common sense.
Ok so from the information provided I will assume that the poster is not looking to make this a serious hobby. He's just looking for something that's a step up from the cell phone camera. While I agree that modern SLR's are very forgiving to new users there is a question of price. You may only have to pay 600.00 for an entry level camera and a kit lens but eventually he may want to get another lens. So let's assume that is not the way to go for a newbie who is only interested in shooting picture of family and friends. As it was stated by others you really can't go wrong with Canon or Nikon but Sony makes a decent camera and you shouldn't rule out Panasonic either. I think you should be looking at the "Prosumer" camera which hits the middle ground between a point and shoot (essentially your cell phone camera) and an SLR. Go over to DPreview.com and have a look at their reviews. Don't pay attention to the brand rather just find out what you want in a camera. Do a bit of research and contemplation before you buy or you may regret it. After you know what features you want have a look at the brands and compare what each bring to the prosumer market (prosumer = auto control and some some program settings) When you make your decision don't forget the used market. Sites like Adorama, keh.com and b&h photo have a decent selection of used camera's with quality ratings you can trust (most of my dslr stuff is purchased used). Here's a few examples of prosumer camera's; Nikon d5100, canon powershot, Sony cybershot and many more. At this level the quality of the major brands is usually consistent so brand loyalty is really not a factor. Good luck.
wake me up when we are about 10 years past the invention of transporters. By then most if not all of the kinks will have been worked out and going to work won't be such a drag. Oh and Scotty, make sure you beam me right to my desk this time. I don't want any more of that transwarp shit.
Migration to the stars should be a voluntary process.Those who hold their religious dogma in the highest regard can stay put while those of us who can see the eventual outcome of this planet can move on.
Since Comcast started deploying DOCSIS 3 modems before the IPV6 pilot program started and because there's still quite a variety of modems from different manufacturers in the ecosystem I'd be really surprised if they put stateful packet inspection in the modem. That would require a HUGE firmware deployment and all the potential problems associated with it. Most decent routers already have stateful packet inspection onboard so it makes sense to not do this. And SPI can't protect you from driveby attacks because the user has already been tricked into accepting the connection so the packets are valid.
Truth in posting: I am a Comcast employee.
"Why do the houses containing pigs shake ever so slightly at the beginning of each game play sequence? "
But not all of them shake and not on every board. They are using exagerated weakness to lure the user into specific attack points. This would be for the stupid people who didn't bother to check out the walk through's for every board on Machinima, you tube etc. Then again maybe it is just buggy code. Who knows but that game is damn fun to play and hard to put down. They need to come out with the cluster bomb bird for those really hard to crack fortresses. The blue guys just can't hack it.
Aparently god is not siding with the theologin on this one. LMAO he suppressed the video because he knew he was beat. And yet people like this still hang on to their belief system (for dear life) even when they have been bested in a fair debate (conquered by logic).
It seems like an excellent source of energy and a great way to eliminate (or at least degrade) a potential extinction of our species. I'm sure some of the major players in the offshore drilling industry could figure out how to capitalize on this. They just need some government subsidies to get the ball rolling. Maybe we need to switch from subsidies that don't get paid back to venture capitalists while we're at it. It seems like a good time to let the american people off the hook and have someone else pay for this.

for not having the baliff collect all the cell phones prior to the jury taking the box. Aparently justice really is blind... or stupid.

If the card was not swiped they have to charge the merchant back unless the merch made a carbon copy to prove that the card was actually in the store.

Yes while that is true for the purposes of the discussion we really don't need to go into that.

So, if I throw wavefunctions equations at friends is that assult?
No. They'll just give you a funny look and ask what kind of drugs you are on.

peer review? Do they still do such a thing or has science turned into one great big research grant grab. Look past the money.
slightly more left leaning. Pretty much same as usual.
Very interesting. I got a different take from listening to the story on NPR yesterday. Aparently there is still some bias in the media .
..and one giant win for science.

rtfa the whole article was specifically about smart phones. Jobs must be rolling in his grave right now.
