Therefore vulnerable to attack by competing products that do have have quad core CPUs. It does seem a bit of a risk for Apple to pin its hopes solely on screen resolution and stupidly overpriced LTE without introducing any significant innovation. But I suppose this is all consistent with sliding into its new corporate identity as rapacious patent troll.
Only according to Apple apologists, fanbois, and spin doctors.
Well given that i am none of those that disproves your theory...
Wrong, your words "suing over use of patents isn't 'patent trolling', so Apple isn't a patent troll" qualify you nicely under both "apologist" and "spin doctor". Never mind the blatant logical fallacy.
Message to Apple astrofurfers: the world will stop calling your company a dispicable troll when it stops being one. Trolling Slashdot just makes you appear more dispicable.
You said, and I quote: "just suing over use of patents isn't 'patent trolling', so Apple isn't a patent troll." Which is a non sequitur, pure and simple, popularly known as a logical fallacy. First, your premise may well be false, but whether it is true or false, your purported conclusion does not follow from it. Your use of the word "just" in no way changes the sense of the perfectly simple English sentence you wrote, in spite of how you might want to spin that.
In any case, Apple is a dispicable organization that seems determined to become even more so.
Only according to Apple apologists, fanbois, and spin doctors. For the rest of us, Apple is burning karma at an alarming rate and has already declined significantly in terms of respect for the corporate brand. Apple is doing its best to establish a reputation for rapaciousness over engineering excellence.
Wow, it seems the usual pack of Apple astroturfers with mod points is around tonight.
It's probably because it's wasted real estate having a required "forward" button.
No, it's not that, the line where the forward button should go is mostly empty. Speaking tablet here. Yes, in some cases origami might be required on a touch phone interface but the tablet interface must not suffer because of that.

My quoting in no way changed the sense of your post. And would you please try to keep a civil tongue in your mouth. You might consider posting under your real name as well, if you have the courage.
"just suing over use of patents isn't 'patent trolling', so Apple isn't a patent troll" which is right.
No, it is a logical fallacy of the "does not follow" kind, perhaps the most rudimentary sort, sometimes not even dignified with the term "fallacy". Perhaps you need to refresh your knowledge.
just because you bring a patent suit doesnt make you a patent "troll".
Perhaps not, but being a patent troll like troll Apple does make you a troll, a big hairy stinking one.

I find the back button for applications to be a brilliant os concept.
True. It is a sensible API that has a natural interpretation: return to the context from which the current context was invoked, whether that be another application, an earlier frame of the browser chain or whatever. Now the obvious: forward is equally natural and is blatantly not there in Android. How many times have I hit the "back", ending up back in the application list or somewhere, and have to go hunting around to get back into the application context I just left? Which by the way is still running by the "apps never exit" rule. So obviously what I really want is a forward button, right next the the back button as is right and proper. Whenever that makes sense of course. Note to Android devs: quick, implement this before troll Apple claims to own the patent.
I don't disagree with your rant, however it is just not a good idea to dismiss a processor bug as "happened a long time ago". The point is, it happened. Processor bugs happen. And here is one that happened last year if you must.
governments around the world would be doing more than a few million dollars in a fine (to the government, even), and AMD wouldn't be settling for a couple hundred million or whatever that amount was.
$1.25 billion. You do not have a clue what you are talking about and come across as an astroturing apologist. That Intel did wrong is not in question.
There are many advantages for AMD, they should have done this some time ago. Dedicated founderies with multiple customers can afford to front the billions required to keep on the leading edge of the feature size curve, and can't be mugged by Intel.
Less email, fewer source code commits, fewer tickets closed.
If what you say is accurate, then simple: identify those whose productivity does not decrease when remote and give them more remote. Take remote away from any who demonstrate insufficient maturity to manage it.
AMD isn't giving up design, just the foundary. And in future, Intel must compete with TSMC and friends in process technology, as opposed to their time tested strategy of cutting off AMD's air supply. Makes it more of a game now don't you think?
Slashdot Mirror
Quad core graphics, not quad core CPU...

An early warning sign of confusion at Apple.
No wonder Apple's brand is slipping.

People only use the term "patent troll" in this context because they don't know what it means.
And you think you do? Here is a well reasoned discussion of the term. Apple would certainly qualify, even without stooping to this.
Apple isn't interested in making money off Android. They want to kill it.
Oh, everybody gets that. If only because Steve Jobs literally stated it before he, ahem, died. Well, that karma thing you know.

I know that. It is no substitute for the obviously missing "forward" button.

Apple: If it walks, talks, growls and stinks like a troll, it's a troll.

Apparently, Apple and Microsoft are both counting on Linux to secure their retirement income.

Just so you know, division is never accurate in floats, even when the CPU doesn't have bugs.
What kind of lather are you people working up? The subject was, a division bug. Out of spec operation. Not normal IEEE precision issues.

At Google, that included ducking the three way nerf gun crossfire between the SRE, sysop and intern cube farms.
