You can't patent the iconic representation of a function or a tool. Oh you can? Well, sucks to have your patent laws.
Example: The universal iconic representation of "configuration" have always been a wrench or a gear
So whos the first that ever designed that icon? Probably Xerox or Apple (even MS) Can they sue the whole world for using the same concept?. The point of an UI icon formerly known as Pictogram is precisely to represent an action with an universally significant sign. Theres a fucking science about it predating the invention of user interfaces by centuries.
I could not care less about Apple or Samsung bitchfight, this could set a dangerous precedent where someones would patent certain graphic design common places prompting the design world to workaround in hideous ways. Would you like your new Snail-Shape on--off icon? No? good luck only on SONY stuff. How about that men bathroom icon, did you got confused because it's shape of a blob with 3 eyes and what looks like an umbrella? Oh! theres no other restroom in 20 km ahead.
If Apple is pretending to enforce such nonsense they are pissing in the pool that they like to brag about so much, the design pool. Not that the lame shopped hack to make the Tab look like the iPad is something that one would expect from a "company conscious and caring about design".
Hey apple your antics are hurting your image in the subset of the market that helped you to stay afloat before you developed something decent. Think different but act like Microsoft. Yes I'm a sore Apple exfanboy, when you actually had to have a Mac Desktop to be a fanboy and You actually created shit on your hardware, not the wanker and hipster bunch that Apple fandom is today.
Oh yeah I know huawei it's a trojan I wouldn't use a phone by them, but I was responding to the OP comment implying that huawei it's like a mom and pop sweatshop in China, which is not. And I could not care less about huawei or anything China anyway, just keep shipping cheap shit and don't mess with Japan.
Sorry if my comment reads like glorifying a Chinese company, I respect them but I'd rather see America doing their shit right than to Chinese eating your/our cake.
Uhh.. didn't knew that the only way to make a valid point was to have some experience hours accumulated by the mandate of the elders of Slashdot. Which direction should I bow?
I'm reading slashdot since 2003 (when I started to play with Linux) and I had an account then but I lost motivation (and the email associated to that account, thanks google ) and just recently after the redesign I started to lurk again.
It's funny that people judge the suitability of someone's opinions based on a reg. number. This is a place that allows Anon posting so reg. number is meaningless.
And I stand before my opinion above, responding nicely to a post that only lacked the N word to make it 100% kosher to/. racist standards.
Yes! If some day I get to need employees, Portal would be a test. It's like it's designed to make dumb people rage and you just have to learn 3 simple commands so you don't have to be a gamer to try.
Is this really from Mensa? Well then, theres a regional bias, they actually look for high IQ outside developed nations. Everything else IT'S A TRAP, glad I didn't joined.
Do you think that some Apple employee actually lost it's yet to be released iPhone 4G that magically ended in a gizmodo review? And all the subsequent drama related?
"Oh I Accidentally advertised your next product, oh noes Apple is MAD, oh yeah were cool now."
Really? Do not attribute to accident whats perfectly explainable from marketing.
yes, wake me up when some phone gets a P-Wave sensor.
Could a P-Wave sensor in a phone be actually useful since it's not attached to any structure?
Well see it soon, after Apple launches iOS 6 with the innovative iPee-Wave sensor and It's standalone adapter to bolt your phone to the wall in pentabular fashion, now theres no excuses to hold it wrong!
A typical Windows user don't even know that they can try to fix shit themselves A Microsoft evangelist wouldn't acknowledge that Windows needs extra help.
Everybody that uses Windows and could not care less about labels just download sysinternals and it's done with it.
So.. everyone with a high IQ must be a boring Buzzkillingtong that can only make jokes about the archduke?
How can the mensa test have cultural bias? I remember doing it when I was 17 I didn't see a single cultural or economically-biased question, passed barely, but I was not motivated to join because everyone started to script my future (oh you should be doctor, oh you should be a lawyer) I made myself friend of the head of the local office and "dumped the database" in a floppy. I'm still in touch with some of the people I knew then, the ROI from that test was like over 9000%.
You can have smarts and you can have mischief in the same envelope, thats more related on how you were raised. IQ is like an specification not a qualitative insight of anybody.
Yay! shills fight. It's on everybody!.. and the guys in marketing doing the awkward air guitar FTL
Internet forums are destined to become a place full of concurrent circlejerks clashing every now and then, preaching to the choir while the fags on marketing counting that beans thinking they are making more "conversions" ahhh I just sit and read and I'm glad I'm out of that mental fap that is marketing. Got immune to their venoms, it's all I can thank to them:)
(btw I'm not saying you're a shill, just that the only place logical to input my rant it's just after your post)
Do google stores the geolocations I visit w/ my laptop in plain text inside the laptop itself, and sync them w/ any other hotspot or device I connect? Please provide source, In my country thats against the law and I'd could use some extra money.
Your liver maybe patented and copyrighted material, but wander in a dark alley near Cupertino and see how fast some people will p2p the shit out of it.
Do you know if Carmack is an active $quake player? I've been trying to find him and invite him to take a look on some q2 mod, I even remember visiting/. from the first time when I got the clue that he was an active poster here. Guess I'm doing it wrong. Any help appreciated.
idk, I searched "samsung android qwerty" on Google images and found plenty. Check the Spad Android tablet w/ full qwerty.. now the Thinkpad tablet got competition on my book.
And when you are a developer you don't buy your phones for dev? Do they grow up inside eclipse on your HD? You may be a developer but you are still a consumer, the intended use of a good have nothing to do with the fact the you acquired it in a money transaction, aka market in which you're the geek consumer part aka the part that bends over aka the slim share of the pie in the PHB meetings
If I buy a laptop and use it like a mouse pad, I'm a consumer of laptops. I know manufacturers hand free samples and make special editions for dev, but thats not for everybody.
Also I don't like ad hominem attacks, I did nothing to deserve it since I'm on the same side of the bridge as you (and I was defending the OP request) the little voices that manufactures don't listen. Whatever I got the balls to wave around my dept. inside a forum averse to anything marketing probably becau.. oh wait! this is not Ad Age?
Read my posts, I'm not your average powerpoint droid, got banned from AdAge for saying pretty much the same things I say here;)

Derp indeed
Your ideas are interesting and I'd like to subscribe to your newsletter. Whats is your .onion hash again?

Cranky babies are what caused Windows ME and Vista, developer beware.
No worries I know what that situation it's like.

Are you seeing what I did up there?
yes, just type /ragequit in console and you disconnect with style. Or use it in chat and confuse the nobs.
That Guy From Marketing: ragequits
I personally use
U SORE?
plenty of ragequit ensues. Not that I'm 1337 in QL anyway.
Yes! If some day I get to need employees, Portal would be a test. It's like it's designed to make dumb people rage and you just have to learn 3 simple commands so you don't have to be a gamer to try.
WTF is that?

yay! USA vs Europe car industries bitchfight it's on!
Meanwhile Asian car industry laughs all the way to the bank. Gotta love when you forget to cocktease and focus on doing your shit right.

I'm being serious here.
You probably mean The Master Card race.
Your liver maybe patented and copyrighted material, but wander in a dark alley near Cupertino and see how fast some people will p2p the shit out of it.
Too early?
Do you know if Carmack is an active $quake player? I've been trying to find him and invite him to take a look on some q2 mod, I even remember visiting /. from the first time when I got the clue that he was an active poster here. Guess I'm doing it wrong. Any help appreciated.
Now this is scary, does that mean that /. is full of active QL players? Will everyone ragequit just before the thread ends?
