I think as a society, we can risk not encouraging, those on their death bed to produce something that they wouldn't have produced if not for 70 additional years of protection beyond their death. We'll survive without all of those works which have been created on ones death bed.
Personally, I believe that the time of the death of the creator shouldn't matter at all.
And I think that we as a society can risk you not getting stuff for free that you couldn't come up with yourself.
I wouldn't be surprised if part of her change in appearance part of a coping mechanism of Ms. Cuoco's subsequent to her separation and pending divorce.
Fifty years ago,we had visions of astronauts in space stations taking pictures out the window of the Earth with 35mm cameras, developing the film using chemicals and sending the pictures down to Earth for weather forecasting.
Now what do we have doing that? Probes (aka satellites).
Why did they link to a mashupable piece instead of the original that one quotes? Maybe baécause they forget to quote this paragraph:
Apple faced similar accusations in 2011 from plaintiffs in a class action complaint who claimed iOS 4 turned their iPhone 3G into "iBricks." The case was tossed a year later, though the topic of planned obsolescence continues to crop up with nearly every significant Apple release.
Enough already with the "fragmentation" bullshit. It is a LOT easier to create an app that works well on the Android tablet my grandma bought in 2011 and on my fancy new Moto X than an app that works on an iPod Touch bought in 2011 and an iPhone 6 with retina.
Except this has not been the case in the desktop era in quite some time now. Windows Vista and Windows 10 have almost identical system requirements, with everything in between being pretty much the same as well.
Which of course has nothing to do with the fact that the hardware in the desktop era hasn't changed that much in quite some time now.
in America? Corps benefit handsomely from our infrastructure, school systems and workforce subsidies. I'd like to see them paying for some of those benefits, and so far Federally levied taxes are the only thing that works.
Isn't it odd that Apple pays billions of dollars in US taxes each year and gets blasted for using too little of American workforce subsidies, wile a company that makes billions in revenue taxing (pun intended) the US infrastructure heavily only pays a few million in taxes (if it doesn't post losses again).
In case you haven't noticed, I'm talking about Amazon.
Even if you mean Lightning - Bullshit. Apple chargers had an USB-A slot in which you could plug any USB cable to charge any USB device since USB provided enough power to do so. IOW only the first iPod charger came with a Firewire slot - because then USB couldn't provide enough power to charge an iPod.
All Android phones around me and even Sony RX100 III camera work just fine with Micro USB socket, so could you be more specific on who decided to "refuse to support it any longer"
Context. Get it yet? And why do you ask me instead of Sony themselves? They were the one answering Heise that they don't support the "standard" anymore because it no longer follows "current technical standards". http://www.heise.de/newsticker...
Yep. The EU has had this for years, it's the reason why Apple was forced to supply a free USB adapter cable there. It's a good idea, stops chargers going to landfill as soon as the product dies.
Yeah. Had is the right word, because they dropped it almost exactly three years ago - because every single manufacturer agreed that standard Micro-USB was a thing of the past and refused to support it any longer. Which must have hurt your little USB-fanboy so much you forgot all about that fact.
IOW no, the Swiss charger isn't going to use Micro-USB either. unless they want to ban smartphones by proxy.
PS: Apple always shipped a free USB charging cable, and that's what was used to connect to the charger - so, no luck with that claim either.
Well, the German legal system isn't exactly German really. They had some help writing it and were kind of forced into it because they'd shown that they couldn't be trusted to do so on their own. It's hardly fair to say that it's not based on the US/British legal systems when it has some similarities and was, shall we say, "heavily influenced" by those other countries.
"German law is mainly based on early Byzantine law, specifically Justinian's Code, and to a much lesser extent the Napoleonic Code." - English or even American Law, not so much.
Qualcomm had paid for them to use the patent, not for others to use the patent.
Kids, look up "patent exhaustion doctrine" for your homework.
But lets look at it objectively: why would Qualcomm pay Ericsson any license fees to use the patents if they didn't actually use the patents? They certainly don't sell any end user products only chips implementing the patent. Which are useless if you don't put them into a phone. Or did they instead pay to use cell phones made by other companies inside Qualcomm? But that would also be double dipping, not to mention it would mean all companies would have to pay fees to Ericsson for using phones - in addition to all the companies making those phones, and all the companies making the chips implementing the patented features.
Get rid of those bullshit anti-Planned Parenthood videos first.
Those were videos of Planned Parenthood employees talking about what they do at work. Does having publically funded organizations having what they do posted online offend you for some reason? Sounds like you want to force people to pay for things you want money spent on, but you don't think they should be allowed to express an opinion on it or even publically post what that money is being used for.
Are you so insecure in your opinions that you can't risk honest debate about it?
5 years ago the pro-lifers were radicalized with pictured of shredded fetuses, now they are radicalized with videos claiming those shredded fetuses can be harvested for organs.
Kind of like you would expect more people to talk about, "Oh Apple invented this," or "No one has this on their phones because Apple invented it." Since he doesn't hear that kind of thing what was innovative?
As opposed to people talking about how Ericsson invented - what exactly did they invent? Not even "rounded corners". Probably nothing, because according to you the fact that nobody ever talks about them is more then proof enough that can't have invented anything. Thanks for the confirmation.

2015 windows and linux versions run fine on my 2012 computer. Maybe apple just sucks at coding?
No - they are so good at making actually much faster phones each year.
Enough already with the "fragmentation" bullshit. It is a LOT easier to create an app that works well on the Android tablet my grandma bought in 2011 and on my fancy new Moto X than an app that works on an iPod Touch bought in 2011 and an iPhone 6 with retina.
Yeah. You just have to limit its abilities.
Except this has not been the case in the desktop era in quite some time now. Windows Vista and Windows 10 have almost identical system requirements, with everything in between being pretty much the same as well.
Which of course has nothing to do with the fact that the hardware in the desktop era hasn't changed that much in quite some time now.
Would have got the frosty, but my iphooooone is toooo sloooooowelevetyone.
Could Apple use this first post as evidence that the claim is baseless?

No, for some reason news about a cheese company evading tax would not make it onto a technology site?
Don't you understand why?
Well, I wouldn't call Google a cheese company, but Slashdot sure as hell didn't report on their Italian tax problems ( https://beta.finance.yahoo.com... / http://www.telecompaper.com/ne...). Funny how the numbers quoted are almost the same as in this case.
The 30-pin charger was originally picked over USB for lock in purposes too.
Yeah, it had nothing to do with the fact that USB originally didn't provide enough power to charge an iPod.
http://android.stackexchange.c... - You USB fanboys are such a hoot.
Apple chargers require lighting
Even if you mean Lightning - Bullshit. Apple chargers had an USB-A slot in which you could plug any USB cable to charge any USB device since USB provided enough power to do so. IOW only the first iPod charger came with a Firewire slot - because then USB couldn't provide enough power to charge an iPod.
He's pretty much right. The "Free Market" has no monopolies (including no patents, no copyrights, and no proprietary standards
Not according to the inventor of the "Free Market". https://books.google.de/books?...

Next up, a pornstar decides she changed her mind and all those pictures must be destroyed...
As opposed to the state deciding she was too young?
Well, the German legal system isn't exactly German really. They had some help writing it and were kind of forced into it because they'd shown that they couldn't be trusted to do so on their own. It's hardly fair to say that it's not based on the US/British legal systems when it has some similarities and was, shall we say, "heavily influenced" by those other countries.

Because blowing dust in everyone's face from all that thrust will be sure to make you friends and look cool.
And yet, leaf blowers have been selling quite well.
Should really patent owner P only get $0.50 per produkt from B when A pays $5 per unit in patent fees ?
Yes, because they decided it would be better to charge a percentage than a fixed sum, or a combination.

Why argue with people who find logic in that?
I asked, what the community to enlighten me which ones, are innovative,
All of them, apart from the ones you know to not be innovative. IOW, well, all of them still.
Kind of like you would expect more people to talk about, "Oh Apple invented this," or "No one has this on their phones because Apple invented it." Since he doesn't hear that kind of thing what was innovative?

Yes. "You're holding it wrong". We remember.
