"Using doctored images, Apple succeeded in convincing a German judge to ban sales of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Germany".
Right, because the judge only had access to pictures provided by Apple, I mean... it's not like the judge asked to see both phones, actually in front of him, that he could hold and look at himself. No no, he totally just used pictures provided by Apple.
...do you actually know what's going on? I'll be frank, you're saying words and I don't think you know what they mean, please go and look up "trade dress".
I've owned a lot of phones in my time, and in recent years I've had most iPhones other than a 3GS, a Desire, a Mozart and a number of BlackBerry's (BlackBerries? BlackBerry? BBs?) and I can honestly say that out of a choice of a BlackBerry and an iOS5 iPhone without apps, I'd take an iPhone.
Yeah damn Woz, putting decades into teaching 5th grade children at his local school after he left Apple while donating huge sums of his own money to them instead of working at the Genius Bar just to show people he cares about the Apple fan base. Fuck you Woz, unless you spend your spare time working at the Genius bar then you clearly don't give a shit about the Apple fan base, that's the only way you can really care. Fucking Woz should be fixing my iPhone charger.
Actually, If he was a true "Geek", he'd be on an Android phone, as they are the hackable device now a days, not on the walled garden of Apple and all it regulates. Get your facts, and thoughts straight before you post such fanboi gibberish next time.
I'm guessing you're 16, never actually heard of the genius that is Woz before you read this article, and are clueless to the fact that he owns several iPhones and several Android phones. Lemme guess, you installed someone else's ROM on your Desire and think that makes you a "hackerz", some of the stuff that Woz did with microchips is frankly genius and you're clearly clueless as to the admiration that real nerds have for him.
Why would a billionaire stand in line all night long to get a cellphone that his company sells?
As you said, for the publicity. Cults being what they are, I'm sure it all helps to perform minor miracles to keep the sheep spending until the day
they can revive Zombie Jesus.. i mean Jobs.
Or you know, it could just be that Woz is a pretty fun cool guy and likes to hang out with people in lines and makes new friends. Believe it or not, Woz doesn't need the money and the iPhone doesn't need the publicity to sell out in less than an hour. Frankly Woz is more the engineer, nerd and geek than any of us will likely ever be if the guy wants to stand in a line overnight for shits and giggles, more power to him. But no, it's cool, you twist that into some strange reason to insult a dead man. I'm just surprised you didn't mention Apple users being shee... OH wait, you did. I guess you bought an Android phone, installed someone else's ROM that they made nice and simple for you to understand and told yourself you're a "hacker" and more of a nerd than an Apple user.
Did you not read the post to which I replied? It starts off by saying that "Siri does look amazing, and will become really useful in a couple of years as developers outside of Apple operate on it" and yet Apple have deliberately prevented developers outside Apple from being able to use this on their platforms.
It suggests that Apple is the only company that innovates in terms of creating intuitive user interfaces, and asks "Are there absolutely NO actual designers at any other tech company?". My point was that obviously other companies "get human interaction" because it was another company that created this very technology under discussion, and that Apple just bought it out.
The original poster was seeing the tech world through Apple-shaped, rose-coloured glasses. I am not saying that Apple have done anything wrong. Nor do I claim that Apple do not innovate themselves at all. I am just correcting the misperception that it is the only company in the world that innovates with good ideas.
...so?
They saw its potential and did something with it, what Siri is now, tightly integrated into the OS, is nothing like what it was as an app. I'm seeing a lot of "Anrdiods has this years" comments around the web and they clearly don't grasp just how different Siri is.
It's possible to feel saddened over his death and Job's and know full well what they both did for the world, but it is indeed a shame that I've seen almost no coverage of his death and probably won't.
heh, I'm British and funny enough I was just thinking the same thing, I can't help it but it just feels right to me that NASA should have been the ones pushing this.
In the same way Apple stealing isn't the way it happened, the way you seem to think this conversation has gone, isn't the way it happened. A statement was made by a poster that "Apple stole from Xerox", well I'm afraid that didn't happen, it didn't happen even a little bit, it didn't maybe happen, it didn't somehow sort of, like, kinda happen. It didn't happen. That reality was pointed out by me, and then you felt that required a tasteless comment about a imaginary fanboy reality distortion field still staying strong after the death of Steve Jobs.
Who'd have thought you'd have got a shitty reply back after that. I'll leave you to have the last word, I'm sure it will be insightful.
So basically, Apple didn't steal anything and in your head that means that "Apple stole" isn't far from the truth? You either did or didn't steal, and they didn't, and you manage to some how roll that up into a bad taste "you must be a fanboy" style comment, bravo.
Unfortunately for you, some of us here were born before 1999 when you bought your first Playstation 2 and some of us were alive and working in the 70s when Apple struck its deal with Xerox. Feel free to chalk that reality up to a "reality distortion field" if it makes your world seem like a better place.
The icon-grid can be tracked back to Xerox' work (which was stolen by both Apple and Microsoft... Which is why Apple got denied when he tried to block Windows).
You, and the rest of the the people marking you insightful need to look up, law, trade dress and this actual case. That way, you won't get yourself in such a muddle next time.
Is this just a US thing? The last time I had to pay to receive a call on my mobile was like... 1997 or something... I doubt you'd even find a plan like that over here anymore.
What do you think the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is based on? "Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world"
What gives humans inherent dignity and inalienable rights?
Think before you post. You'll save a kitten.
You do know that even animals are capable of simple altruism and that our distant distant pre-human ancestors had a grasp of why you should be nice to others. Like most people arguing about religion, simply saying that god did it, doesn't actually make it true. I was perfectly capable of being nice to others before I'd even learned to read the bible, let alone understand half of it.
Think about *why* we believe certain things are important.
I'm not sure why you're acting like you're suggesting some sort of sneaky clever thing that hasn't been considered by anyone you're replying to, if someone doesn't believe in god, and there is a damn sight more evidence out there to back up that claim than there is to counter it, then the answer to your question is that humans were perfectly capable of coming up with a moral code way before there was ever a bible to tell them about gods laws, as far back even as far as our ape like distant ancestors. Even animals show a capability to demonstrate altruism.
The bible teaches me nothing about my moral code that I've not discovered for myself, in fact given that I love people even when I'm not going to benefit from it, EVEN at times when they are maybe not deserving of it, simply because I think it's the best way for humans to live and not because I think a sky god will send me to a nasty place, might make me a bad Christian, but it makes me a far better person as far as I'm concerned.
All OT stuff, that has been superseded by the NT.
Just, you know, not the parts where we should hate teh gayz.

Nope, sorry. Still wrong.
And by "too true" you mean, "not actually true at all".
"Using doctored images, Apple succeeded in convincing a German judge to ban sales of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Germany".

...do you actually know what's going on? I'll be frank, you're saying words and I don't think you know what they mean, please go and look up "trade dress".
Everything you said is basically full of fail, some of us happened to be alive at the time and remember full well what happened. You're wrong.
wtf are you talking about? The iOS5 iPhone IS the current iPhone, the 3GS, iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S all run iOS5.
OH, I see what you did, I see what you did!
I've owned a lot of phones in my time, and in recent years I've had most iPhones other than a 3GS, a Desire, a Mozart and a number of BlackBerry's (BlackBerries? BlackBerry? BBs?) and I can honestly say that out of a choice of a BlackBerry and an iOS5 iPhone without apps, I'd take an iPhone.
So? It's their free time, let them do with it as they will. How is sitting at home and watching the X-Factor any better?
Yeah damn Woz, putting decades into teaching 5th grade children at his local school after he left Apple while donating huge sums of his own money to them instead of working at the Genius Bar just to show people he cares about the Apple fan base.

History, reality. Not your two strong points.
Voice recognition, available on Android for long There is nothing big about the new iPhone 4S...
You should read more.
You, and the rest of the the people marking you insightful need to look up, law, trade dress and this actual case. That way, you won't get yourself in such a muddle next time.
