I eagerly await VirnetX's lawsuits against all the SIP phone manufacturers because, as I understand it, SIP allows two phones to directly talk to each other once initial setup is done...
Curious, I see everyone calling him a paid shill. However, I haven't seen any evidence that he actually does that? He presents his source materials for his analysis.
How is he a shill? Just because he needs to make a living and gets paid by Oracle - and publicly announces that he does get paid by Oracle?
Err, what would a TI-83 emulator do...? Not violate TI's copyright? From look and feel to ROM to everything else, it's all copyright violation according to the law.
They had thermal protection so overheating is not a problem.
Thermal protection schemes have been around for some time now, but are far from a guaranteed protection against frying your processor from thermal damage. This is something I've had to deal with first hand.
And? Was it an overclocked CPU? If not, how is it relevant to OP's claims? Of course thermal protection is not perfect, and I've never claimed so. I only pointed out that it is there and helps with the issue because an overclocked CPU might just run a tad hotter.
Overvoltage might fry your cpu, but only after a very long time or a very high voltage - both of which can be controlled, so it's not like you'd pump 5V through a 1.35V part.
That would be beyond Intel's control and up to the motherboard what voltage options they give you. Kind of by the nature of those trying to push the system, there would certainly be options going beyond any official limit given by Intel.
And....? If your motherboard puts 5V through a 1.35V pin, it doesn't matter whether the CPU is overclocked or not in that case.
Wow. You really like the taste of the koolaid huh. Intel has always been against overclocking because it eats into their margin. They had thermal protection so overheating is not a problem. Overvoltage might fry your cpu, but only after a very long time or a very high voltage - both of which can be controlled, so it's not like you'd pump 5V through a 1.35V part.
And Intel traditionally bins its parts - you might want to check that out.
Because he would love to give up on a company he helped run for many many years and is now the boss of the most valuable company in the world, running the way he wants it to run, to go run a dysfunctional company...?
Huh?! You post as Anonymous Coward... ok, you've lost me as ACs are well known for being shrills and trolls and generally lame asses! I wouldn't believe ANYTHING ACs write as it's normally 1000% WRONG!!!!!!!
Microsoft never produced anything for the user. If there were any benefits, it was a by product. Microsoft tried to please the producers.
Apple did it the other way round. Apple made things for the end users. True, they had very specific ideas of what the end users can and cannot do, but ultimately, the UI, the way to do things, the way things are done, are all planned and implemented with the end user in mind.
6 weeks before the original iphone launched, Jobs said - no plastic screen, use gorilla glass - why? Because your keys in your pocket would scratch the screen. How many other executives would stop production to do that?
Slashdot Mirror
Working properly is violating the patent? That's a new one! :)
Curious what nonsense are you referring to? I don't remember (even though my friend was one of the "holder" of evidence for that trial)
so... once he discloses it, he is not a shill any more?
In school, when I do my homework, I had to present my work, step by step, and cite my sources.
He appears to do that in his blog posts. So are you saying that he is a factual shill?
And I thought it was a few months, not a few years (I didn't follow it that closely).

iHaters do not need your facts or even to make sense.

You can't just make stupid claims without any evidence, sense or logic. Show your work please. How did he harm every US taxpayer 50 cents?
Who did his products hurt? According to the article, not one person. And he folded his company like they wanted.
What more should he have done?

Sheldon, is that you? Why aren't you working on your sciencey stuff instead of playing on slashdot?

Been using it since beta 1. What kind of problems did you see? I saw no issues other than the email sync issues.
You might want to keep up with the news... You really don't want to be a stale iHater. Makes you look more stupid(er).

iHaters do not need logic, please.
Statistics and logic is hard it appears.

Fucking ribbon with it's peekaboo menu items? On such unimportant shit like "search" in outlook? They lost the game somewhere alright.
Someone should consider what a posting to slashdot would look like when they make a new language...?
Actually while that complain was true of iOS 5, the iPhone 3GS users who upgraded to iOS 6 said they got better performance.
Has Xbox turned net positive yet? I know it's finally making money, but has it reached ROI point yet?
You might actually want to read up on the facts of the case. Or, actually reading the lawsuit, and Apple's response to it.
