It doesn't take a super genius to figure this one out. Without looking at any statistics, i could make the claim there will be political strife every 50 years or so, or the time it takes the current youngins to come to power.
Many solutions for this exist already. QT, GWT, Phone Gap, AIR, etc. Most of these have the ability to extend with native code as needed. If you're reinventing the wheel, you're doing it wrong.
You're doing it wrong. The business logic for your app should be written in a platform agnostic way, and will be trivial to port. The difference between building our app for iOS or Android is which ant task to run.
Take it easy there bud. I thought the little emoticon at the end there made it clear that it was only light hearted kidding. I am quite aware that hardware requires a type of thinking and skillset that I lack. My best friend teases me all the time for being a software guy, and I return the favor.
I really don't get what's so hard about issuing some kind of revokable certificate. Tie it to an account and it can even follow the user to different devices. I dabble more in the client/server realm though, so I guess I'm just used to being able to rely on a trusted environment. I suppose the considerations would be different for a purely offline app.
CX debators have no substance, so they argue semantics instead. I much prefer to read (or partake in) a good LD discussion myself. It is so much more insightful. Not that you care or anything... Just sayin'
Your mention of damages made me think. My understanding is that you can only sue for provable damages. So how would a patent troll determine this amount if the patent is not being used in any products they produce? (this is not a rhetorical question)
I have no beef with Nintendo ever since I took my broken DS (which I bought used, although not broken at the time) into their Redmond office, and they swapped it out for a brand new one. No questions asked, no paperwork, nothing but pure customer satisfaction.
You've been charged with a crime? Well who the fuck cares what evidence is missing? You look guilty, or you wouldn't be in that defendant's chair. I don't care how detailed your alibi is.
Same thing.
No, it is not the same thing at all.
Let's say you get charged with the crime of wearing a funny hat. Should we look at the evidence to see if that hat was indeed funny, or should we simply say that wearing any kind of hat should not be illegal, therefore any evidence proving the funniness of the hat is completely irrelevant to the situation?
Who the fuck cares what it says? You shoud not be able to patent a god damn UI concept. I don't care how detailed the patent describes it. (I assume you are the same AC farther up, exclaiming how detailed the patent is, like that somehow fucking matters)...ending rant before my BP spikes...
We are at a point in time where the sharing of ideas is almost instantaneous, and internationally reaching. Eliminating the concept of idea ownership will allow people to innovate at a faster pace, creating a richer (not necessarily wealthier) society. This of course would happen at the expense to business models that rely entirely on the concept of IP, and do not create any actual value in the process.
Artists, inventors, and creators, would still provide a service like any other profession. They can choose to start a business that utilizes their skill set, or go work for a company that knows how to efficiently capitalize on those skills. Your claim is that in either model, these people would [get the shaft]. If they are getting screwed in either model, why not choose the one that allows society to progress faster?
I would even go as far to say that without IP ownership, more artists would be able to earn a living wage. Why you ask? Because their sole means of income would no longer be in the hands of a monopolistic media empire which controls the entirety of mainstream distributions channels. That's a doubleplusgood for the model without IP.
Not all dangers can be known, so it is better to parse for what you need (white list), and use it as data in a type safe command (ORM, stored procedure, etc). This insures that only operations that will run are the ones you have written yourself.

How does it know which account to use when you use that card?

Well said. Thanks.

Well I sure as hell don't know what a memristor is. I tend to leave those trivial details to the low paid mechanics (hardware guys ). :P
Spoken like a true script kiddy.

EXACTLY! The point isnt to make what you want, but what your customers are willing to pay for!
on a side note, Creating a piece of software that gets pirated so much that it becomes ubiquitous is a problem I would love to have.
sorry for typos, im on a tablet...

Enough of this crap. Patent and copyright trolling needs to end now!

The pot-odds are better on $500k at 5% risk, versus the $80k at 100% risk. Given those numbers, I would say your company made a bad bet.
Yeah, to bad you didn't do your research and get one of the many Android devices that supports it.

I wish more companies were like Nintendo.

Because they can still elevate themselves to 'not get screwed'. Go look up the author of Harry Potter some time.
More artists would be able to do so if we took the power away from the media monopolies (EG. get rid of, or severely limit the scope of IP).

I am prepared for said wall of text.
