They're also promising to hire at least 1,200 more veterans within the next year at fulfillment centers around the country through Amazon's Military Talent Program."
Amazon's warehouses are the closest thing the US has to Foxconn-style conditions. Obviously there is no serious comparison to be had but I wouldn't wish that job on anyone, much less a veteran. Make with the robots already and let's find a better way to make sure seniors and the disabled have money and work.
It's easier to keep your camwhore bill a secret if your girlfriends are on AIM, Yahoo Messenger, or something more modern rather than interacting with you in real life.
Zero is an overstatement, but more to the point I don't think we're discussing 9GAG here. I wouldn't deny they lift stuff from elsewhere but I can't see how that's relevant.
I agree that those are mistakes, but not the primary ones. If the consumer can't use the device there's not much point to anything else, With bootloader locking specifically it doesn't matter to any but power users, which are a higher percentage of Android users than other devices but still very much a minority.
(1) is irrelevant. Rooting and flashing voids your warranty anyways, with any device from any manufacturer; unlocking the bootloader only has a point if you're going to do one of those. (2) is incredibly minor.
Yep. It's not like other countries are much better with their patents, and patents in the US hold no force outside unless other countries decide to recognize them. There's no comparison.
The guy says nothing of the sort, it's just the title of the article. All he says is that efficiency is becoming more and more important, and that ARM offers such efficiency. (He *also* says that ARM can offer performance as well.)
This. People need to learn that statistics and polling are sciences. Like all sciences they are inexact, with a margin for error; but the chances of the poll averages being wrong in this case were incredibly small.
Lawyers love money. Especially the money of rich idiots spent on products made at the expense of the health and general welfare of poor people in other countries! (Yes, I know the situation is more complex that that, take your seriousness and GTFO the internet.)
I'm kind of OK with Apple being held down and fucked in the ass. The fact that they don't like anal (aren't sorry) is kind of the point; it's all the more horrible for them.
HTC's mistake was Sense and bloatware. All but their highest-end phones are completely unusable, and the high end ones are still crap compared to the competition. They have no one to blame but themselves.
What do you think Apple is, exactly? There is prior art for every single patent Apple used against Samsung when they won in Germany, just for example. A funny take on a couple aspects of this: http://9gag.com/gag/5195630
outlining why, everyone else is covering it pretty well, but this is an incredibly awful idea. And its originator is an idiot as is he who decided this was worthy of posting to/.
Nobody at the patent office appears to have any expertise with a functional system for promoting invention and avoiding all the piles of crap that are stifling innovation, clogging the justice system, etc. so I think it's perfectly reasonable that the patent office been dismantled.
All patents older than 20 years should be eliminated along with the office, and a new agency put in place with sane rules to review the rest (invalidating many of them) and new ones going forward.

AHAHAHAHAHAHA
Clearly they should have gone the sexual route. If only there were a single black Republican woman willing to blow him.

I wasn't aware there was a difference; thanks. Unfortunately, I am all too aware that /. users will happily ignore my point in favor of pedantry :P

Also keep in mind Moore's Law.
You got a bad deal beforehand, I was buying my 1 TB drives for $50.
Look up "corporate". It may have been hyperbolic, but he contextualized the meaning appropriately.
...that's not how statistics work either. A result does not alter the underlying probabilities.

It's "wrong" to force a company to post a meaningless statement on their website as part of a court judgement against them? Really?

No problem on my 1050x1680, but I can definitely see that it would be below the screen if I didn't have my monitor vertical.

My bad on that, I was thinking of copyright.
