    Perhaps you should have listened a bit harder, where the security agencies are asking POTUS and everyone else talking about it to specifically not call things out, because, you know, they're trying to pinpoint shit, and having your politicians scream about what it is makes their job difficult.

    So, yeah, batshit insane.

    If you want to throw around lies, why don't you address the fact that Bush and Cheney lied multiple times about WMD and took the country to war over that lies? 4 dead in Benghazi versus thousands of soldiers dead. And hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians dead.

    Go on, do a compare and contrast, why don't you?

    What you claim may make more sense if the GOP, Fox News, and the Ultra Right Wingers are not bat shit insane.

    When you keep crying "wolf, wolf, wolf" or "benghazi, benghazi, benghazi"... *ugh* how stupid do you think anyone with half a brain is?

    Wow. Amazing. A post with facts gets modded down, and a post with opinions that do not correspond with reality gets modded +5 informative.

    You should really just go talk to a patent attorney about your concept of FRAND and how these things work. Or take a legal class. Plenty of free ones around. Or heck, buy a legal text book on contracts and FRAND.

    While I'm not an attorney, I do work with plenty of them, and your version of how things work do not reflect reality.

    How amazing is it that Apple did not sue for rounded corners and touching the thing you want?

    Actually reading the lawsuit, or understanding what the lawsuit was about, instead of repeating memes might prove useful if you want to debate.

    wish I had mod points. All these idiots forget all the changes Apple forced onto the industry. I don't understand why Android defenders think crapware is fabulous. Hell, Samsung even comes with its own crapware - a 16GB phone only has 8GB available?!?! WTF?

    Since copyright laws exist, and since Mozilla owns the copyright to Firefox, and the only terms they allow you to download or use Firefox is within the terms of the TOS, if you want to download or use it, you have to abide by it.

    It is, in this case. because Dell is then sending the laptop *WITH* firefox on it. Hence - distribution.

    If Dell sent someone over to the house to install it, then there's no distribution involved.
