4G is any wireless service that provides speeds in the 10+mb range. Regardless of standards bodies or advertising.
Basis...
3G was a 1+ mb service
2G was 100K+ mb service
1st Generation was a 9600bps service.
***
Each generation has been an order of magnitude higher in base speed.
5G should theoretically be in the 100mb range. But I wager that we'll see 4G pushed to about 20-30mb, and 5G will be claimed with a 50mbs. (But at least that will be a 1/2 a magnitude increase).
What are "Sharp Mortgages", and what caused them to be cash-poor. Is this part of the toxic asset relief program. Apparently, they're displaying their factories. So mayb these were commercial loans for industry used to build factories...
1) Patents can be filed freely if contributed to public domain. This allows a small guy to protect himself from future infringement lawsuits.
2) Companies cannot hold patents, patents are only held by individuals.
3) Patents are only granted for revolutionary invention, not evolutionary use. If an auction exists, and then is done online, that's not patentable. Change of medium, or incremental evolution is not patentable.
4) Patent holders do not have the right to prevent someone from building a better mousetrap. Rather, whatever manufacturer/seller of an invention employs the patent holder receives a tax break. This will encourage patent holders to be kept on payrolls after they've invented. Where as currently, inventors create, the companies get the patents, and the inventors get pink slips.
I believe the above is a system that is far more reasonable, encourages and fosters invention, and also allows economic benefits. While simultaneously eliminating ALL the present problems we see in the current implementation.

For example, in Apple vs Samsung case, Apple couldn't refuse Samsung using anything they claim as a patent. And if the iPhone were to somehow classify as a "revolutionary" invention rather than an "evolutionary" one. Apple, would have to employ the actual inventor(s). And then would simply receive a tax break which would allow them under optimal situations, to be more competitive than their rivals.
OR
You build a transporter device, someone figures a way to improve it and perfect it making it safer (cause you're occasionally scatter's the molecules of starship captains). Rather than you forbidden your rival from building his device. You a) copy his improvements, b) get a 5% tax break allowing your pricing to be slightly more competitive - just a slight advantage.
And best of all, everyone gets a better safer transporter!
This behavior is akin to Orville and Wilbur Wright inventing the airplane. And then suing all the manufacturers of gliders, claiming they infringe on their airplane design.
That's how our patent system is working these days.
The Nokia has a memory card slot, it's just inside the cover. So you'd have to remove the cover and change the card.
Essentially, it just doesn't have a hot swappable easily accessible drive bay. You have to open up the PC (phone) case and change out the memory card. That's no biggie. I can accept that. As long as I "can" add an additional memory card.:-)
Mainly, I say we do away with Congressional elections. Draft people to Congress. Then Congress would reflect the general populace of America - instead of being 80% lawyers.
Then we elect 100 Congressmen to serve a second term as senators.
Finally, we elect two senators, the top two become Pres & VP.

Democracy is dangerous, 51% can vote to kill the other 49%. Representation and Constitutionally Protected Rights are what is important.
Do you really want to jump off a cliff because 51% of your fellow lemmings said "let's go". Shouldn't it be your right to choose NOT to jump off the cliff.
Oh, I'm not arguing the benefits of an OO GUI interface. Mostly just the whole, "it wouldn't have made a difference in this case". Because this case didn't look at implementation. It concluded a grid of icons was Apple's ownership.
- Ignore Palm - Ignore Windows 3.1 folders, each filled with a grid of icons.
Maybe "Robamney" works better, they're really both just extensions of the same political elitist class. Yes, they may have a few different overriding functions. But 80% is just inherited from their primary politician class.
No, plenty is publicized and then fades away and disappears. Furthermore, juries are often stupid and confused and unable to recognize that an idea not registered is still capable of invalidating a patent.
And the jury foreman himself has shown he a) did not read the rules on prior art b) had no understanding c) convinced a jury which leaned toward Samsung's case d) that the prior art was invalid e) based on false evidence f) presented by the jury foreman making himself to appear to be an expert g) merely because he was biased by being a patent owner.
Yeah...that whole trial went down the drain yesterday when the Jury Foreman opened his mouth.
Nope, co-worker just went out and bought an SIII. Figured he better do it while he still can. He's a seasoned gadget geek/developer. Makes me envious: Has the banned Galaxy tablet, big Kindle DX, SIII, even has an Apple Newton (which is saying something)
And what you just proved is that "multiple" parties were simultaneously, secretly, and separately designing similar phones and moving toward this form factor.
And that's the point all of us have, Apple may have been the first to unveil (and even that can be argued to belong to Prada). But they were in no way the only one on this path.
iPhones always become "laggy" when iOS update comes out for the new phone. My iPhone 3G became super laggy when I updated to the new 3GS iOS release version. Likewise, my iPhone 4 became laggy when the iPhone 4S came out and I updated to iOS5.

Not much, in fact, there is almost zero difference between Obama and Romney.
Or "Robamneya"

Woot! ;-)
YES I DO!!!!

"sound and light from the device could be disabled when entering a movie theater"
I've been calling for this feature since the 90's.
It should NOT be patentable. Seriously, I am so fucking sick of patents.
How do we stop this insanity.
Well, look, the news yesterday confirmed my point.
Jury Foreman !@#$% the whole case. And will probably cause the entire jury decision to be put aside.

Yes, I did....
Sorry...
Happy accident, but MOD+1 for the fact that you caught that I was incriminating both candidates.
No it's a mix of elements of Mitt and Barack

And became a Prada clone?
What do you put forth is the main difference between a Blackberry and an iPhone. Particularly the 1st gen iPhone that didn't support 3rd party apps.
Mod+1

They did....
But Apple sued them over false patents which they stole from Palm.

Why not Kindle Air, Wind or Earth?
Kindle ICE...even.

Awww...bet you use Kleenex for lots of tissues to cry on, don't you...
No, this isn't flamebait...it's snot bait.

Seeing a pattern here?
