Well no. Suppose they found a driver;s license of someone on a crime scene? that person becomes a suspect, they find him question him. That doesn't make him guilty of anything only a suspect. It's up to a court to decide the guilt.
which top of the line android phones ?? Atrix ? Galaxy S2 ?
I may agree with you there. Too much, I bet they have a fat profit margin there. But Hardware wise you can't compare these tow phones to the iPhone (may be the iphone 5). (I'm still agreeing here... too expensive and personally I wont buy either at that price), but it seems to me that The atrix or the S2 are better deal at about the same price (hardware wise again)...
Now. the fact that they cost the same means what ??? The Competition is doing it so apple must ?? or the is it the other way around ???? (just a reminder -- I'm sure you know this--, Apple's MO was/is/will be manufacture cheap sell expensive, in this IMHO not very very good, but this is irrelevant). Why always the need to compare $COMPANY_NAME to others and try to justify it's actions ?? Company Y is doing that too so it amkes it ok ??? I don't understand.
So what "....." meant in your post?
How is it so many people confuse "a product type" with "a copy of"?
I don't know ask the guy above talking about copycats.
And where did anyone say later products are worse than previous products? That doesn't even make any sense.
Nobody.
The PS3 isn't a copy of the Wii. It's another console, but it doesn't copy the style, design, etc., of the Wii. Neither is the Xbox 360 a copy. The PS3 Move isn't a copy of the Wii-mote, and neither is MS's Kinect. They are all unique products that do similar things, each with their own styles, designs, and technologies.
My point exactly. I use a samsung Galaxy phone, I used the iphone, held an Ipad, a galaxy tab, and a xoom tablet from motorala. In both cases they did the same thing (smart phones/what tablets do). The galaxy S phone is the galaxy S phone and the iPhone is the iPhone each has it's pros and each has it's cons. Neither is a copy of the other !
Any sequence in a given interval can be either increasing decreasing or constant so we have a set {Increasing, decreasing, constant}. you the "not increasing" or the complement of increasing in all the possible stats of a sequence is not "Decreasing" it is {decreasing, constant}. as you can see it can be something else other than decreasing.
Good for them? good for you ??? who cares. Nintendo was one of the first console creators... SONY came very late in the market... does that make the WII a better console that the PS3 ???? obviously no. does the fact that the answer to the previous question was no mean that the WII is a better console ? obviously no.
Everybody is a copycat at some point... otherwise there will be no advance in anyway in anything. Everyone at some point will build on what someone else has done perfect it in some way, somebody else will take that and improve in some other way... etc. that's the way it has been and will always be.
Why is so much energy being expended so vehemently to support a multi-billion dollar corporation who wants to pwn, publish, and profit from all your data? It's the brainwash of the century, and most slashdotter are not only merrily along for the ride, they will try to harm you if you tell them the truth.
One can ask the same question and replace "multi-billion dollar corporation" with any corporation out there. as he said google or apple can bite the dust for all I care. Every one buy use the piece of technology that they see value in it that's it that's all If you chose IOS good for you, you chose Android good for you.. you chose smoke signals ? Equally good.
No one has refuted his points his argument may be b/c they are not worth refuting... may be they're irrefutable. If you prefer dogs over cats it's a subjective choice. You see a cat and say it's ugly it's not even an animal... I'd like to kill it. what's there to refute?
an what does a custom kernel have to do with anything here ???? you know a kernel is a kernel nothing more nothing less. what's important is the rest system that runs on top of it.
It's a principle stand... this time it was linux... what would it be next time?
This has in fact set a very dangerous precedent, it says to anyone interested you can remove advertised features and get away with it.
Yes he did that by hooking something to the memory bus to insert glitchs. not your simple everyday's hack that's one. More importanely what Fail0verflow demonstrated that wasn;t even needed (linux and stuff) eventually someone would have caught the FAIL in the signature code and we'de be in the same spot as we are now !
how many handicaps are out there... not much... therefor we should remove the parking spots reserved for them ?
Does it really matter... it was a fucking advertised feature (I bought mine b/c of this : the fact that you can run linux AND play games). There's a name for what happened : Bait and SWITCH.
copied games???? wth are talking about ???? what copied games ???? the onlty thing that enabled copied games was a hardware trick long after linux was removed untill recently. an still very very long after linux was removed.
the mobs also think that is is justified to break some bones to set an example or to get some cash back. Every action is justifiable in the eyes of the person taking it in the heat of the moment.
I doubt that it has such thing, but assuming it has, it can disabled (open source and there a re non official community driven builds -Cyanogen for instance- ). But it could be an application (3rd party) doing that in which case you'll need to look for it to find it. If such an application exists and is discovered all you need to do is uninstall it.
True, I stand corrected. But that doesn't change the fact that it is not right to do so. The mere fact of the existence of that data can have deep implications. If it were an opt in functionality it would have been a feature. But unfortunately you have no say in it.

IP != identity but it's a start. The person becomes a suspect and the investigation continues ...

it is indeed illegale but very hard to prove and prosecute. But the more competitors there are out there the less likely that will happen.

is that a good thing from the custumer's perspective ???

yes indeed. By that definition windows is very very very open too. (and it is smart of them ... why try to reinvent the wheel)
define open ?

I licked my wound learned my lesson. If it's the last company on earth and their product will save my life I won't buy it !
what linux lead to was an initial dump of some memory locations ... and even that required a hardware mod not possible for the common joe blow.

that makes him a reader (he did the act of reading at least for 2 words).

isn't that like the mafia protecting local stores ????????

Sony is in the list ??? linux is doomed !!
