  1. LynnwoodRooster is the dumboi!

    You proved it again. You always do. Because you are dumb. Why don't you give up? Really, how many times are you going to do this? That's a rhetoric question: you are too dumb to stop.

  2. Bill rip people off, Zuck rip people off. What makes Woz different than getting ripped off?

    Wel, he was a good friend of Job's until his death. How many of the people Bill and Zuck ripped off will go to his funeral for anything to check they are actually dead?

    And that's what really pisses off Slashdoters about Jobs: that he had Woz as his friend, even though they are much more deserving of that than him.

  3. Apple paying Creative hundreds of millions of dollars for ripping off their UI kind of says the iPod was nothing more than a prettier Creative media player...

    You keep claiming that, and every time I have to prove you wrong because you don't like facts.

    They payed $100 million (not "hundreds of millions of dollars") for violating a patent for "Automatic hierarchical categorization of music by metadata " (IOW sorting songs by interpret), not for "ripping off their UI". Creatives UI was the cruddy "cursor keys to select a menu item" shit from the 80s.

    BTW this patent was also the resason why Apple started to patent every little shit, because evry little shit like you said it was a good idea to do so. So shut the fuck up in every Apple patent story ever again.

    The Army used to be made of REAL MEN. It's a disgrace what its become.

    Yeah - and it's good that Chelsea told the world the truth about those cowards, murdering kids from the safety of their helicopters.

    Doesn't matter, Trump doesn't write the proposed budget personally. Hopefully he at least reviews the budget, but he's certainly not sitting there with a calculator and green eyeshades.

    And I thought people elected him because he was such a great business man. So why did he not take over his accountants to do those calculations? Or is the problem that he did, that he used the guys who did his tax returns, but he can't bribe everybody looking at the budget like he can with his taxes?

    That is one reason (among many) that the cheap China Androids are popular. They are not locked down. This is a buying decision for many. No, not all, but it is a market.

    The other reason is of course that it's cheaper to buy a new one than to repair it. Yeah for the right not to use the Right to Repair.

    The scope increases to perhaps twelve sites. Note how many other sites are mentioned. It would make nice research. A global clickbait phenomenon, it's not, although the global probable decline is onerous.

    My math skills say: needs a lots more research until you can tie these factoids together. Even boolean algebra says correlation!=causation. Causation still must be causation.

    Well, they can't have much more sites when the nature reserve they are collecting from is only 250 acres. Yeah, they have samples from thousands of sites across the world - but they only have one sample for most of those.

  19. Re:Race to the bottom on Apple Starts Assembling iPhones In India (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Actually globalism and this offshoring of labor has lead to drastic increases in the middle class for both China and India.

    Yes it has and it's also resulted in suppressed wages in the US and thus moving the middle class in the US closer to poverty. My point is that if we keep going on at this pace that it will make us all equally poor.

    How so? It's not like "line worker in manufacturing" ever was a middle class job description.

  20. Not just the bezel free screen either, Samsung wanted to include a fingerprint-reader-in-the-screen feature on the GS8 but had to cancel it because they couldn't get it working properly.

    So now Apple's competitors get awarded prior art for supposedly trying to do something, but failing?

  21. The basic idea (bezel-less phone) is pretty obvious. The mechanism (curved screen to slightly wrap around) is the easier of the obvious two ways to make it work.

    If your competitors design, build, and ship the claimed invention before your patent application is disclosed, maybe it's pretty obvious to one skilled in the art.

    So which did ship? No really, tell us.

  22. Thought Xiaomi beat them on that feature https://arstechnica.com/gadget...

    Errm, nope. Try again. Hint: nearly bezel-less is like nearly pregnant.

  23. Basically I don't care about Apple. I just think that the patent application process should include the question "could a 3 year old come up with the idea?" and if the answer is yes, throw it out on principle.

    So tell us what you came up with and then we'll compare it to what Apple has got.

  24. I'm using a late 2013 27" iMac with the 2GB GTx 775M and 3.4Ghz i5.... And I just used a friend's late 2008 imac with dual quad processors or something like that, and I gotta say, the prices on ebay look tempting as an "upgrade" option. With PCI cards that can do USB 3.0 and possibly handle the newer graphics cards, any new Pro models next year had better really haul butt.

    Either you had a stroke and can't remember the difference between an iMac and a Mac Pro, or you are the most incompetent troll ever.

  25. An entire case redesign could be done in 3 months if they weren't such wankers about how it had to look. Pro desktop lines don't need a Johnny Ive video.

    A) No Mac, including the Pro models have ever looked shit like a cheap PC.
    B) If "Pro desktop lines don't need a Johnny Ive video" - how do you explain this?
