actually the batteries will be integrated with the chassis so when you take it in for a battery replacement they just replace it with a remanufactured car.
Computations per joule is not the relevant measurement. The relevant measurement is hours per charge. If you keep the computations per second below the threshold that the 53s can handle, the big cores never light and the battery lasts longer.
A tractor-trailer gets better mileage per pound than a sedan. So do you drive a big rig to work to save gas?
If you never tax the motor of your sedan to save gas, why didn't you buy one with a smaller motor in the first place?
As Apple pulls further and further away from the once-cozy relationship they had with Google, what makes you think they'll fail to mirror Google's own business models and ventures? Then all that data they've been collecting will be, retroactively, just as loaded as what Google has on you.
The fact that even if Apple had actually stored all the data they could get on people, it wouldn't be one tenth of what Google has, and that for Apple to make so little money on hardware to feel the need to monetize that information, their sales numbers would have to shrink to less than 5% of what it is now.
We should tax corporations, because they use the services provided by the country. They use the roads, the legal system, medical facilities, police. They are legal entities with rights.
You know, instead of talking about the taxation of money made abroad, maybe you should worry more about the tax Amazon doesn't pay by not making a profit, despite not only having a huge revenue but also taxing (pun intended) the American infrastructure like no other corporation.
If the taxes payed are 3.8B and they had a net income of 18B, that means they gained at least 21.8B, which means that their taxes is at most 17.6%. If only I could incorporate myself..
Still wouldn't do you much good if you didn't earn most of your income abroad.
Holy siht, don't prove you are a member of a hate group over and over again like the stupid members of hate groups always do. We know already, shit-for-brains.
Those low-cost phones are the visionaries today seeing what Apple doesn't want to see now: the days of people buying expensive phones are numbered.
Nope - the days people buying expensive Android phones are gone - Apple still does mighty fine selling expensive phones. They do so fine, they sold as many of their expensive phones as the largest manufacturer of Android phones, which judging by their profits, sold far less of their high-end phones than before - and by units sold also less of their cheap ones. And Apple did that while increasing the average selling price of their phones.
Question is: when everybody in the third world has replaced their ten year old cheap feature phone with a cheap Android, how long will they wait until they buy a new one? The market for cheap smartphones may be large, but its also easily saturated.
Nice theory - but Jobs didn't actually come up with any of those ideas, but his engineers did. What Jobs did was to reject stuff like Google Glass.
“People think focus means saying yes to the thing you’ve got to focus on. But that’s not what it means at all. It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that there are. You have to pick carefully. I’m actually as proud of the things we haven’t done as the things I have done. Innovation is saying ‘no’ to 1,000 things.”
And whether Apple without Steve Jobs is just like Microsoft remains to be seen - he trained enough people to say no to half-baked products.
Yeah, they've only outgrown the rest of the PC market for almost all quarters during the last couple of years. Total failure.
For a decade now we have heard that iPod this, iPhone that was going to enable Apple to win the PC industry. All it did was move their share from the low end of the historical range to just above to top end (again, depending what metric you use and who calculates it).
Boohoo, Apple is the only computer company that actually makes notable profits - how are they going to survive that? In 5 years, non of the manufacturers now selling more PC will still be making PCs. Apple will. Suck on it.
Slashdot Mirror
Given the prior art,
Which "prior art"? Anything that came out before this very patent was widely derided back in early April 2010? E.g. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/04/01/apple_headmount_patent/, http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/04/apple-contemplates-head-mounted-iphone-display-america-cringes/

If only false information was as easy to remove as a "non-replacable" battery. http://www.cultofmac.com/252956/genius-bar-repair-gifcity/
If you've looked at the hockey stick "science" you'd be laughing at it too.
What parts of the hockey stick science do you find laughable?
Probably the parts he doesn't understand. So pretty much all of it.
He practically patented
Patent has lost some of its meaning lately, but not that much.
Well, the right use is "he made Global Warming patent." As in "readily open to notice or observation; evident; obvious:"

Yeah, hiding from the rain between a rock and a hard place ...
There is malware in the Apple garden too, it is just that the reality distortion field prevents people from seeing it.
And there is a thousand times that in Play Store. Heck, they just found more a few days ago http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/google-removes-adware-app-from-google-play/.

Apple is cashing in their chips, but they don't have a hand.
You've been saying that for how long now?
This is my biggest problem with Android and iOS tablets. The operating systems are built assuming a tiny 4-5 inch screen.
So your problem with the iPad is that you have never used one in your entire life.
EC2, Azure, whatever
A Windows laptop is less expensive than the cellular Internet subscription needed to connect a tablet to EC2 or Azure while away from home.
Yeah. Good luck getting your work back when you lose your laptop in any way or form.
We have been talking about tax on a profit - corporation tax.
No, fool. The tax is called "corporate income tax", and it isn't the tax on the income of the employees but of the corporation.
If the taxes payed are 3.8B and they had a net income of 18B, that means they gained at least 21.8B, which means that their taxes is at most 17.6%. If only I could incorporate myself..

Yeah, hate group. I am KKK's next grand wizard. Fuck you, dipshit.
Thanks for the confirmation.
Yeah. Majority doest mean intellect. Majority in US voted for Bush TWICE! ;)
So Android "winning in the rest of the world" means you are dumb. Got that.
It sounds like you think a reasonable price is a negative point. Weird.
Considering how many people buy iPhones (in increasing numbers), their price is reasonable. You insisting it isn't makes you member of a hate group.
Let's see what the dictionary says...
Cult: a misplaced or excessive admiration for a particular person or thing.
No further questions, your honor. ;)
So if Apple users are members of a cult, that makes you guys an official hate group.

yet we never hear about how bad the "rich" apple is, yet oil companies are lambasted for their "obscene" profits. I wonder why that is???
Well, Apple is increasing profits by selling more of its products. The oil companies are raising their profits while selling less.
Actually it's kinda dumb. They avoid tax and then complain that there are not enough skilled workers for them to hire.
When has the US government ever spend tax to make workers skilled? Talk about "kind of dumb" - you are the worst kind of dumb.
For a decade now we have heard that iPod this, iPhone that was going to enable Apple to win the PC industry. All it did was move their share from the low end of the historical range to just above to top end (again, depending what metric you use and who calculates it).

But the point is that Apple's profit is extremely high and so it should be paying a proportionately large amount in tax.
Surprise - it does. They paid more than 10 billion in taxes last year. That's more than 2.5% of total corporate income tax (federal + states).
