I do realize that:) Not too many people can have a computer or phone that is fully under their control, especially if it's work provided. But all mine are installed from media (openbsd, debian, osx, and even windows).
I would be screwed if something like On Trusting Trust happens, but then they could just man-in-the-middle the transactions anyway.
Assuming no one can hack SSL, and I do not login from unknown computers, what will 2 factor do for me? Any computer I use to check gmail is fully under my control.
1) no man-in-the-middle sniffing 2) no key logger sniffing 3) assuming no one steals the password file from Google 4) my gmail password is not used elsewhere.
And you think a thought experiment by Apple's designers matters what in a Samsung case?
Now, if this was Apple suing Sony, then Sony might have a solid defense "see, even Apple thinks we design phones like that, haha". But this is not Sony, this is Samsung with crappy designs in the past suddenly having world class designs that their own people say look like copies of the iPhone.
So... did the Environmental Protection Agency do its job or not?
You appear to think that having a clean environment is a useless thing, but I do not.
If you feel that competition from overseas is a problem, talk to your law provider and ask them to put in a law so that any out sourced manufacturing have to meet the same environmental protections we have here.
I'm not sure which world you live in, but you can either have non-govt provided healthcare (so you pay $$$ or pay insurance $$$) or you can have govt provided healthcare (in which case, you pay with taxes).
What other choices are there, other than fairy dust and unicorn horns?
When I say "you", I mean the royal "you" and not you personally.
While AC made a mistake of conflating US numbers versus world wide numbers, his point remains - Apple sold more iPads than Samsung sold infringing products in the US.
I find your name ironic when I see you comparing a landline phone to a smartphone. Is a smartphone now a human right?
You can buy a freaking cheap phone - I just bought my daughter a cell phone that is not a smartphone for $50, and a $25 monthly subscription that has 750 minutes.
You haven't been following the recent releases from the lawsuits, have you?
June 2010 to June 2012, they only sold 21 million infringing (ie, Android) smartphones phones in USA (does not cover windows phones, etc).
Same time period, Apple sold 60 million iphones (though I think that's world wide). So all those "Samsung outside Apple X to 1" headlines are bullshit.
Another clueless fucking idiot. Child tax credit _REDUCES_ the amount of taxes you pay for to IRS, not give you money back. And is only $1k/child.
Seeing that most states have sales tax of between 5%-12%, are you saying that this family with 5 children are living on $20k/year? That's below the fucking poverty line - and you still want to tax the shit out of them? You are a heartless bastard in addition to being a fucking idiot and a damned liar.
So, to summarize: Child tax credit does not give you money, only reduces your tax burden to IRS. And you're a fucking idiot.

And I only use Chrome, which pins the certs, for gmail :)
Well, I do use mail.app on the iphone... hmm... must go find out more about that.

Then you are a seriously fucked up person. You see one case of something, and therefore the rest of the women are all fuckers out to get you?
I'd consider therapy.
The courts look at something called "reaonable person standard". Would a reasonable person go ballistic on this? No.
OTOH, if said boss was sending porn to his wife and it got to you, there might be issues.
This may be the best comment in the thread :) Too bad I just finished using up all my modpoints last night
And it makes the pig unhappy...
Do you know how tape drives work? Jeez, you are one of those who buy things based on what's written on the box right?
Bandwidth: Check
Capacity: Check
Knowing how a tape drive works and whether it is suitable to be used as a random access device or not: TL;DR
This is for you AC:

No, I was too busy laughing at Samsung's documents (that infamous 260+ pages comparison thing) that said:
The "directions for improvement" are that Samsung designers should "Remove a feeling that iPhone's menu icons are copied by differentiating design
http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2012/08/apples-case-that-samsung-copied-the-iphone-and-ipad-in-pictures/
When even their own internal documents say they looked like they are copying the iPhone...
20% of the people use up 80% of the health care costs according to a NPR report recently. These are the obese, the smokers, the "lifestyle choices".
Fix that, and the healthcare cost issue goes away.
txt is part of the 750 minutes (one txt = 1/10 of a minute or something).
what the fuck is this political correctness? All the women are asking for is to be treated the same as you'd treat the men.
Do you walk up to men and ask for sex?
Do you touch other men all over and give them massages?
Or do you just shut up and code? If the latter, why do you give a flying fuck about this?
about 450 minutes a month. There is no bill. This is pay as you go. She is limited to 750 minutes. She will learn to manage it.
Otherwise, she facetimes with her friends on the ipad or itouch.
So, just how smug am I supposed to be anyway?

Talk about comparing apples to oranges. Sheesh.
Funny.
You made an extremely clear and lucid point, and the idiots mod you down. *sigh*
Hell, Apple even showed off multiple non-infringing designs Samsung could have used.
How are they assholes when they reached out to Samsung multiple times and asked them - why are you copying us?
Apparently you feel that blatant outright copying is OK, but the law may not agree with you.
You haven't been following the recent releases from the lawsuits, have you?
June 2010 to June 2012, they only sold 21 million infringing (ie, Android) smartphones phones in USA (does not cover windows phones, etc).
