The market disputes your claim that Apple has only two-buck Chuck. I'm no Randroid, but institutional fund managers are quite a bit more dispassionate about Apple products than fanboys on either side. There are also the customers, the legal system(s) (so far), and pretty much everybody except for a portion of tech people and individual traders who shorted AAPL.
You got 'only' a 100mHz bump when upgrading in HS and college? Shit, when I was in high school, I think I would have need a Beowulf cluster to get to the first 100 mHz...
Some of the licensees might choose to sign cross-licensing agreements in lieu of some of that money, just like they might choose to pay in frequent flyer miles or beer.
True. But if everyone has chosen cross-licensing agreements except Apple, how much are those cross-licensing agreements worth to Samsung? Shouldn't they be able to extract the equivalent value of those cross-licensing agreements?
For example, if you're selling your old car for $2000, isn't it fair and reasonable to at least expect $2000 worth of beer?
Bad analogy is bad. What Samsung wants to do (seemingly) is require everyone to license their technology for a bottle of wine. Most manufacturers only have two buck Chuck lying around. Apple only has some $300/bottle vintage stuff.
Sorry but it's true. This is 100% Apple's fault. I think we all know that Samsung would not have sued Apple, were it not for Apple's shameful patent trolling.
Thieves generally don't sue if they get away with stolen property either.
Except they are not exactly your records. They are a doctor's (and others') notes on the treatment they provided to and for you. They must maintain a copy of those records for a certain length of time. For this reason, you cannot have the sole copy of them. I would also argue that for their needs (lawsuits, primarily) it is important to have the original. Therefore, you get a copy. And copies cost money.
if you're loaded up with lethal levels of alcohol...
That would never happen in Ireland.
57 comments and only one joke about drunk Irishmen? Slashdot truly is dying. The fact that nobody has licked to a Family Guy clip from when Peter went there just nails the coffin shut.
Slashdot Mirror
I actually have mod points right now, but I can't find the one to mark you "+1 Recursive".
Find the choice marked "+1 Recursive" and then start looking from there.
"Cookie, cookie, cookie stands for 'C'."
If it works on humans, maybe we can restore the brain function of those of us still dumb enough to waste time on Slashdot.
Like you then.
Exactly.
Please PLEASE let it be Sarah Palin!
Tell her Romney is going to be beheaded in the next town over.
You must be new around here - Slashdot has been home to activist social rantings since at least the late 90's.
Am I the only one who misses Jon Katz's brand of lunacy?
Cops have always been like this. It's just that now we have the fuckers on video.
Similar to the thinking of growing cannabis on your own property for your own use.
Personally, I would love to see a Federal Judge outline what constitutes as a "formal" constitutionally supported rebellion.
Me too. Particularly if he is in stocks while he does it.
They went over the SEC to their (SEC's) bosses: Wall Street.
Dunno about .CA, but in .US, there is a little difference between violating a civil contract and being a criminal.

I also fall over, have difficulty flying and run into things when drunk.
How about when you're sober. Can you fly then?
"Can you fly, Bobby?"
Apple will need to prove that their design features add no value beyond aesthetics.
Well shit, isn't that what a billion Slashdotters already claim about them?
You have got to be shitting me. All of this nerdrage when Samsung admits that Apple has already paid?

At least as I understand the arguments.

The average person cannot understand the source code, therefore there is no reason for it to be free/open.

"the board looked around and none of the current second-level VPs was ready to be CEO"
Translated, that would mean something like, "None of our current VPs have slept with, or even performed fellatio, on any of the board members."
Maybe because Meg Whitman's dick is too big?

You're sick.
And you're scared enough to post anonymously.
Can you blame him? Who wants to be the target of a guy with a working death ray?
Not retaining logs might be illegal, but is it illegal to not make the logs in the first place?
This whole conversation strikes me as a bit anal retentive...
Most legal discussions are similar to 'how many angels can dance on the head of a pin?'
