Any phone smart enough to run Linux us smart enough to run WP7.
Probably not. Unlike the versions of Windows Mobile before it, Microsoft is attempting to control the hardware that is released with their OS. This means there is a large low end smartphone market that is almost exclusively there for Android, since Microsoft and Apple are not interested.
Use the matt (anti-glare) protector. The rough surface on this eliminates finger marks almost completely. It also prevents the screen from turning into a mirror when there is any more than a moderate level of background light.
But I am sure that some of their patents (VFAT, ActiveSync) would stand up in court though.
Given that the VFAT patents have failed to stand up to the patent office once already (but were reinstated on appeal), I'd say there is a good chance that they won't stand up in court. ActiveSync may have more chance - HTC include it in their Android phones, but do Samsung? It's not a standard part of the platform.
This sounds like a great thing, not at all like the title implies.
My prediction - in early 2014, Samsung will announce that they are stopping their Tizen efforts to concentrate on Android. Later in 2014, they will finally release their one and only (ARM based) Tizen device, and Intel will announce a new partnership with HTC to develop a new Linux based phone OS so that Intel CPUs can take over the smartphone market (having lost most of the desktop market to ARM by this point), with first release in early 2015 and devices expected to hit the market by mid 2015. And what a great thing that will be.
Licensing the FAT patents costs $0.25. The license fees Microsoft is reported to be getting from HTC are $5. So FAT is a small part of what they are claiming.

Intel Drops MeeGo

· Score: 1
Community based development? Meego was Intel and Nokia. Tizen is Intel and Samsung. At least they picked a partner whose market share is increasing this time, though if Samsung abandons Android for Tizen, their fortunes may change rather abruptly.
I don't know what is worse. That she believes the tunnel exists, or that she believes that 45 million euro is a significant contribution towards building a 900km long tunnel.
however being critical of how someone speaks is not racism.
It depends on the people you select to be critical of. If they are all African-American or Hispanic, while the teacher from Glasgow gets off scott free, then yes, it probably is racism.
Looks more like DDE than OLE to me. Hopefully they've fixed the misfeature that makes the whole desktop lock up along with the sending program if the program that is supposed to receive the DDE request doesn't process it right away.
One might gather that it's not worth the trouble for NT to ape Unix anymore.
It was only ever worth the trouble because government contracts specified POSIX compliance as a necessary prerequisite. I don't think VMs or third party additional software would be enough to satisfy such contract terms, so it is more likely that Microsoft's sales efforts are finally managing to get terms like this dropped from such contracts.
They realize. It's the anonymous submitter who translated 'We have given it thought and we have discussed it internally, but we will not do it on impulse,' to HTC Considering Buying Own OS who is out of their mind - or perhaps they just know what sort of crap will be accepted as a story submission on slashdot these days.
What you may not have heard is that just after 9/11 the Taliban fielded a fairly capable army and was using traditional war strategies against the Afghani government.
I don't know where you are getting your information, but for the record, just after 9/11, the Taliban was the Afghani government.
This seems like a chicken and egg argument to me. Do you say September 1st because it is written that way, or do you write it that way because that's the way you say it?
Japan and Europe haven't figured out some great secret of population control. It's simply that the more wealthy a nation becomes the less it's citizens reproduce.
It's not so much wealth, as cost of living that drives birthrates down. When both parents need to work to pay basic living expenses, and tuition and healthcare for the children are a significant proportion of that, it is little wonder that large families are no longer an option for most people in developed countries.
How much do you think your 5 - 10GB image costs to send down an old fashioned phone line at 14k? Or are you saying it magically becomes a 50kB image when sent that way?
As with plugs, you'd need a standard battery. Given manufacturers want to compete on things such as range, a standard battery would remove one area where they could differentiate their product; making it unlikely.
Having a standard battery would make it clear which manufacturers are actually competitive on range, and not just using the good old American solution of throwing more cc's at the problem.
I doubt that end users can be sued - unless they can be proven to be profiting directly from their end user activities that violate the patent
It's not so much that they can't be, more that it isn't profitable chasing each individual infringement one by one. The damages due for each individual infringement wouldn't pay enough for the lawyer's secretary to write "John Doe" on the court filing, let alone track them down and collect the damages.
2) "5 [0008] One aspect of the invention involves a computer-implemented method in which a portable electronic device with a touch screen: displays an array of thumbnail images corresponding to a set of photographic images; replaces the displayed array of thumbnail images with a user-selected photographic image upon detecting a user contact with a corresponding thumbnail image in the array, wherein the user-selected photographic image is"
The above is clearly software.
And possibly just a little bit obvious to one skilled in the art.
It is quite clear from some of the rules laid down in religious texts that one of the purposes that religion served in historical times was to educate the population about sanitary practices, such as the relative danger of eating meat from certain animals and seafood as opposed to others. Interestingly, Christianity as practised in the West seems to ignore most of the rules of this category, while Islam inherits most of them from Judaism, giving its own twist on the rituals surrounding them.

Sorry, we're closing down your onsen so we can turn it into a power plant.
Somehow I don't think that would go down too well in Japan.
