Did anyone expect better from Dell? They have a history of doing this with Linux laptops.
Think of it as a convenience fee for not having loads of junkware preinstalled on it, and not needing to be annoyed, humiliated and betrayed by Windows.
I view this ongoing purge as not much more than Tim Cook setting up fallguys to deflect as much attention as possible from his own limp wristed stewardship. Either Tim Cook knew all the specifics of the misbegotten maps strategy as it happened and should be fired, or he didn't know and should be fired. In truth though, I believe his diversion will in fact work, that he will not be fired, and that we should all be thankful for that because Apple should shrink and be less able to exercise its base bully instincts.
The OEMs will put up with iBallmer rather than deal with you.
Isn't that about coop marketing funds and other borderline illegal trust making activities? Anyway it's nice to see Linux royally hammering Microsoft in phones, tablets, HPC, cloud services and internet servers, where Microsoft is less able to leverage its monopoly control over OEMs, shady tying strategies and other dirty tricks.
T-Mobile would need to have an LTE network first (coming in 2013).
True, T-Mobile's 4G is really HSPA+, not LTE, though the frequency bands appear to be the same. Please excuse me if I'm as confused as everybody else with this alphabet soup of similar standards, spiced up with a liberal dose of creative marketing.
Slashdot is just as much about science and math as modern technology. What better audience on Earth is there other than Slashdot for a question like that one?
If he only wants to know about iOS then he should ask on an iOS site, not troll Slashdot. Here, Apple is not the only supplier of tablets, not even the most important one.
Why IOS? How about tablet apps in general. After all, the tablet market is already evenly split between IOS and Android. Next quarter, it is probable that Android will definitively take the lead, particularly with the lukewarm reception for the iPad mini versus strong products from Google and Amazon.
Would you care to share with us which 20,000 seat Norwegian Openoffice deployment that was? I hear the Norwegian national broadcasting orporation NRK is moving to Openoffice.
Since Apple introduced the iPhone 5 its stock dropped $140, about 20%, or $132 billion of shareholder value evaporated. Could this have something to do with forgetting to innovate while putting all its energy into litigate?
Apple always has the opportunity to call the whole thing off. But Apple will not do that because Apple is a morally and ethically bankrupt organization with thug embedded deep within its DNA.
I don't doubt that Apple would consider doing something like that, just to cast aspersions on Samsung in court. In trust, such secret settlement contracts should be illegal anyway, as they are prime building blocks for trust making activity.
Slashdot Mirror
So let me see, dropped the EFF donation and added DRM. What is the message?
You're right, Arrogant Bundle is way catchy.
Time to change the name from Humble Bundle to Greedy Bundle.
I suppose he meant problematic.

The iPad Mini on several levels.
When was Google Maps a drop in replacement for a working product?
Google initially targetted Mapquest's established niche, and upped the ante.

They're not called INI files, noob.

Everyone who touches this loves it
The iPad mini? I'd check your facts.
By the way, what's with the black apple on it, what message is that sending?
1700/2100 is T-Mobile USA's LTE, so does this get LTE on T-Mobile or not?
someone on the Internets is thinking about helping his daughter, not about feeding my precious obsession with championing Brand B over Brand A.
You don't help your kids by introducing them to evil thuggery and telling them it's good because it's shiny.

Here you go.
Or he can get a really classy one like the Nexus 7 for $200.

I'm a bit curious what desktop environments they are running - maybe I'll go do some searches!
You don't need to search very far. (Ubuntu with KDE.)
Interesting that "frei" means "free" but Freiburg did the opposite of that.

..."In truth", not "in trust".
