Can we add in the judge from Marshall Texas and all the parents of the shell companies setup there? That would take out most of the patent trolls and their favorite judge in one swoop:D
You do realize this was all done out of curiosity right, the whole POINT of that $25k price tag was to see what happens when you really deck it out with every high end option and every piece of software Apple offers you. A good $7,000 portion of that $25k price is software and warranty. Besides that the article jokes at taking out a second mortgage, I wanted to see if I could help since I was bored.
Well on the Apple website it says the base price of the 12-core machine will start at $4999.
Super decked out and your looking at $20,000 to $25,000 for the damn computer. And it would probably only cost you about $5000 to $7000 to build it using your own parts.
The final test by the military is to see if it can properly assist in the making of smores. They hoped it would do better than just mildly tingle and warm the marshmallow, but were saddened.
To challenge a patent you effectively need to go to trial (costs lots of money)
--OR--
File for a challenge(costs lots of money)
Most people don't have that lots of money to spend
Actually BP has packed the blimp full of oil expanding chemicals because they forgot whats supposed to happen. BP of course will have forgotten to check the emergency backup fuel, and once the blimp is over the middle of the oil spill disaster strikes. The oil expanding chemicals mix with the oil on the ocean surface causing the spill to magically double in size almost instantaneously. BP will setup another "We are really really for sure sorry about this, we promise" fund, and several "investigations" will be launched while BP tries to point the finger at the blimp company itself and the fuel supplier of the fuel.
The difference between Amazon and Netflix is that Netflix product fits comfortably in a mailbox.
I thought the main difference was that Amazon almost always uses FedEx or UPS. In fact I don't think I have EVER seen them send something via the USPS.

Psst, its spelled reason. Resin is a sticky plant substance used in glue
No, some GPS/accelerometer/camera/button is no substitute for the supervision, companionship and observational skill of humans.
That's what cats and dogs are for.
Are they in need of more fly eyes? Perhaps my extensive collection might now be worth some money!

Fallout 3 says your a liar with pants on fire
And if we never bothered to take chances with new/advancing technology where would we be today?
I guess you could say the response was damned

And your a hell of a lot more secure with an alarm system and security cameras and deadbolts on your doors than unlocked doors and no security system.
Nope, you already said it. The first day you turn six years old BAM too old after that to develop it.

And ever since this became fantasy land, downloading became the same as stealing!
