Such utter bullshit, can't believe this would get modded interesting. The officials should just hush it up and let price-fixing go on? That's where the money is you know, getting paid to shut up (which is why the US financial sector is still very much alive and kicking). What the fuck has/. become that this gets modded interesting? Some sort of collection point for conspiracy nuts with IPads so they think they belong in here.
Nice jab at being specious, but all I know is the article. Nokia has been succesfully suing over their patents before MS deal and will continue to do so; they do have patents which actually are standards essential as in they were a big part of making the standards themselves possible.
Try looking in the mirror and seeing how you parrot someone elses per rectum theories; the amount of pure stupidity and mallaced bias in/. these days begets aggression, this submission will most likely be the last one I respond to.
Well, you obviously did not RTFA (because it's about Nokia, not MS) and were just prepared to go on the 'oh, the M$' rant about how they're using Nokia to do their dirty work... Nokia and MS have a deal, they're not going to sue MS & WP, try processing that.
I think Nokia would/should require Google to license their tech even without MS deal; there's no reason for Nokia to subsidise Google even if they aren't out to make real money on the HW itself. They've told Google to get in touch, but since it's an American company expect a minimum 2 years of litigation for tax reasons or just because the US courts are what they are.
Nokia missed the mobile boat? Fucking news to me. Considering Nokia sued Apple before MS deal I think you really need to try and get over the fact you were literally born yesterday compared to Nokia.
Google isn't interested in the HW so much as the fact that they need to control the OS and the ecosystem... you're essentially saying that since Google isn't out to make money with the devices they should be allowed to minimize their losses by not licensing tech developed by others.
Okay, seriously you need to stop snorting the urinal cakes... your comment is a new low even for/. in failing to understand how patents (plural, google it) work.
Nokia was under completely different management 2 years ago, which essentially makes every point on behavior prior to the microsoft deals entirely unrelated points.
How exactly is this shit insightful? Afaik they went after Apple for freeloading and now they're going after Google... or maybe I just answered myself. Microsoft and Nokia have a deal on patents so Windows Phones aren't being targeted, go cry me a river.
I guess tea just doesn't have that Good vs Evil side to when compared to caffeine to make those stories pop and when I hear 'superfoods' and 'antioxidants' it just registers as marketing lingo ("umbrella terms" under which you can drop just about anything).
A study published today linked the acceptance of funding from coffee cartels to the finding of health benefits of coffee consumption.

This! You rarely get similar exciting news about tea either killing you or giving you eternal life, makes me think I've chosen some kind of third world beverage... even alcohol gets the occasional "it's okay if you don't overdo it" so it has to have some first world banking behind it.
What is Batman without a little bit of camp? It's Christian Bale, one of the most boring actors ever. Personally I liked Batman, Batman Returns and even Batman Forever; I was a teen back then, but still they had solid actors and for films of their time they looked good.
After that it's been at best ok... I'm not sure why Bale is incapable of actual facial expressions, but from the looks of it it's contagious.
As far as I'm aware national copyright laws don't apply when you're at sea, and a warship under sail is hardly a "public place"! OK, the political/media fallout could get awkward, but that's why none of my forces mates ever pass ripped films around when they're on active service. I'm with the anti-piracy brigade, but as far as I'm concerned the military covenant outweighs that one.
Yes, we know they'll most likely never be called out on it, publicly at least that is... but getting away with it doesn't mean that it isn't a crime though. If you're able to easily "share" your media you're most likely in violation of DMCA (amazingly a lot of countries have in short timespan created similar laws too), going against the FBI/RIAA/MPAA warnings and all sorts of things you shouldn't be doing.
Plus you're in the navy and taking part in piracy, arrr-r-r-r! The moderators are scallywags!
Additionally if it's his code, he can do whatever he wants to do with it; it's irrelevant that he's chosen to release all or just a part of the programs as GPL because he owns the code.
A.D. 774. This year the Northumbrians banished their king,
Alred, from York at Easter-tide; and chose Ethelred, the son of
Mull, for their lord, who reigned four winters. This year also
appeared in the heavens a red crucifix, after sunset; the
Mercians and the men of Kent fought at Otford; and wonderful
serpents were seen in the land of the South-Saxons.
Bleh, might as well let you in on the joke... supposedly "Michael J. Fox went off his meds before going on TV to exaggerate his symptoms" and then I say "The people on Fox News do the same". I guess I'll have to be less subtle next time so as to not get a partisan insightful mod.
There's plenty of maniacal shouting to audiences, but afaik only one taping of him talking in conversational tones (in case that makes a difference here). Guardian has some background on how it was taped; it was in Finland and the guy who did it was lucky to live after the Germans noticed what had happened.
I get where you're coming from, but the simple fact of the matter is that I have never worked for a Swiss boss. Ever. I know nobody who has. If they are such great leaders of (US) men, where are they?
Damn. I was just pulling my pitchfork and torch out of the shed. Thought it was interesting; should have done more research.
Stay negative; just with the old hybridization-method they managed to create something that in field conditions produced enough cyanide to kill a cow. Now consider GM crops, including possible hybrids, and if they're more or less likely to have unintended consequences. Yes, they're the most tested seeds and plants ever, but we test medicines too and there are occasional failures... also boxes of pills are easier to recall than plants from the wild.
Haven't seen this thing, but to me it seems like they're basically adapting comics to computers and imo there's huge amount of prior art in games already.
There ought to be some basic test like: "Please identify the first president of the United States: George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison." If you fail to answer correctly your vote doesn't count, because you obviously don't care enough to learn your own country's history, and don't care about the current president either.
Or you don't care about playing Leisure Suit Larry.

The Nexus 7 isnt fundamentally different from their other tablets/phones in regards to these patents. Why bring suit now?
They haven't sued, RTFA... they're telling them to license the damn tech and I'd be surprised if they hadn't approached the subject before.
Idiot... software patents vs tech patents, big difference.

Agreed. Now a shipwide LAN allowing everyone to share their media, that's a good idea.
Why do you call people who share their media pirates? Because they arrr-r-r-r!

Will it also detect when Michael J Fox intentionally goes off his meds before going on TV to exaggerate his symptoms?
It's not like the people on Fox News do anything different.
