Whoa there. Guns are fine, so long as the control laws we actually have are enforced and people are educated about gun safety.
That's right! If murderers knew that bullets can kill people they wouldn't fire them. As well all know, people only get shot because people firing the guns haven't been taught that it isn't a magic tickling stick.
... is that almost all of these big software companies step on each others toes in the pursuit of profits and market share, and probably all infringe on each patents at some level or other.
If the weight of these patents were different (as in, if the patent system wasn't out of touch with modern applications of software and technology), they wouldn't have so much leverage over each other, and maybe we could get back to innovating instead of litigating.
I just got a new iPhone 4 via advance-replacement repair. I'm in Canada, EST, and the alarm has been going off an hour early since Friday. Beats an hour too late I guess...

Just don't buy a 3D TV. The manufacturers will get the hint.
or just use BootCamp. Ever try to open a MacBook Air?
Second that... it's pretty amazing. Don't even have to use USB, the iPhone can stay in the pocket thanks to Bluetooth.
omg... bong water in all the equipment! Imagine the stink!
We'll need to train tiny ants to get in there with little cleaning utensils.
I fail to see the mutual advantage of this deal.
