Apple copies something. Does a better job than the original. Apple version becomes very successful (see iPhone) then everyone else (Samsung, Microsoft, et al) copies Apple trying to hitch a ride on the Apple bandwagon.
the fact that iPhone developers have to worry about whether their app is running on an older or a "retina display" iPhone is fragmentation.
Except they don't. iOS takes care of that for you. Bottom line is if you don't supply retina PNGs for your buttons, backgrounds and other visuals, your apps look like Minecraft. If you actually draw your graphics using Quartz 2D, then iOS does the right thing behind the scenes.
No it shouldn't. I don't want to go to a web site and have all sorts of flying 3D shite on my screen. Flash is bad enough in this department.
HTML5 can play audio (usually poorly) but there is no API for recording it.
No there shouldn't be. I don't want to go to a web site and worry if it is recording me or not. Hello FBI, CIA, NSA, Facebook, Google, etc. - sod you with a stiff wire brush.
There should be a way to interface with cameras, etc.
No there shouldn't. I don't want to go to a web site and have the fumbducktards at the other end spying on me - see above.
Pissing them off in the first place is what got them riled up and on the jihad bandwagon. Might as well poke them with a stick - would be just as effective as "strategic trolling".
How these dumbtards (aka 'senior technology adviser to the State Department') get into politics and positions of power is the real evil that needs to be dealt with...
'Security has effectively become the State religion; you don't question it. And if you question it, then your loyalty is questioned.'
Sounds exactly like the conditions that people lived in under the rule of the Nazis and Communists. The "the land of the free and the home of the brave" have become what they fought so hard against - "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." Heil Amerika!

The jury is "stacked" in the sense that Apple is American, Samsung is foreign and the jury is All American (c)(tm).
If this case had been heard in the South Korean court, then the outcome would have been completely the other way 'round.
Proof? http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/23/samsung-apple-patent-lawsuit-south-korea/.
And "America" often means USA.
Just call it the United States of Dumbtardia, or Dumbtardia for short - everyone on the planet will know of whom you refer to...
Android, Hemorrhoid, RIM.
Nyuck!
How about "Microsoft Polished Turd" or just "Turd"?
Wait for SP2 - it will fix everything...
You forgot to mention that the US company is actually outsourcing the whole thing to India anyways...
They're currently on version 6 with no letup in sight so it's hard to say they are "clean" if they have to keep updating it all the time.
Updating as in adding new features at least once a year. Nothing wrong with that, nyet komrade 'roid fan?

So exactly who was wronged here?
Yes, but some fumbducktard MBA decided that you need a college degree to follow a script to deal with support issues.
Have you ever tried to call one of these help desks -- and get any real help? You're better off wacking yourself over the head with a 2x4 repeatedly.
Some cRap or Hip Hop would do wonders.
Then wack them over the head with Celine Dion...

And fertility rates are dropping everywhere, and more people than ever are choosing to simply not have children.
Yet the population keeps going up and up and up and up and up and up.
I also see that you've never been to a park on a long weekend where every brown person family has at least 4-8 of their kids running around...
And what are the non-creative idiots going to do for a living?
Rap, Hip Hop and other non-creative shite.
Corporations are people hiding behind a legal abstraction that shields their activities from legal responsibility for their actions.

A web app should have direct access to an OpenGL.

Huh? I always wear a hat, and have had no problems in banks so far.
A Yarmulke isn't a hat.
You mean Bangalore...

Since when has Wall Street (Goldman Sachs, Lehman Brothers, AIG, et al) done anything other than for themselves?
They take the little guys money and bend them over (without a tube of Vaseline).
more schools are shifting to a model where kids are praised for trying their best rather than actually understanding the material
