Apple and Ericsson will work together to develop 5G technology, the next generation of mobile data communication, having signed a global patent agreement that ends lawsuits in Europe and the U.S.
The deal will see Apple being allowed to use Ericsson's standard essential patents as well as certain other patents held by the Swedish company while both parties have also agreed to end all ongoing litigation between them. Looking to move away from court room battles, Apple and Ericsson will now look to work more closely together collaborating in "multiple technology areas," which include 5G development, video network traffic management, and wireless network optimization.
"We are pleased with this new agreement with Apple, which clears the way for both companies to continue to focus on bringing new technology to the global market, and opens up for more joint business opportunities in the future," Kasim Alfalahi, chief intellectual property officer at Ericsson, said in a statement accompanying the announcement.
I've filled over 400 BS patents personally, non of them actually were for new inventions, just different wording of existing patents. At an average cost of a million in legal fees to invalidate 1 parent, I've got a warchest of bullshit
You forgot to mention you paid a war chest full of actual money to get that war chest full of bullshit. But I'm sure you'll make it up with all the license fees you get from the people implementing your bullshit.
Let's say there are 5M Muslims in USA and 40M in Europe and lets say 0.001% of them are radicalised by stuff on the internet and moved to commit violent acts. You do the arithmetic.
That's still small change compared to all the other millions of people radicalised by shit on the internet. Get rid of those bullshit anti-Planned Parenthood videos first.
And you're assuming that it's something they don't need, when you have no idea if that's true. People in general have had to cope alone with all sorts of problems since time immemorial, but that's not a very good argument for saying that they should have to keep coping alone now that social media exists.
Sure they do - but the company hosting the help system doesn't need any of their personal information. The AA doesn't need your personal information. The suicide hotline doesn't need your personal information. Why would some hypothetical "gay kids seeking support online" social platform need their personal information? Let alone Facebook?
Listen, you idiot, it's not my fault that you are either too dumb to understand what I wrote and think I am lying, or that your only refuge of your feeble mind is claiming I lye because you are losing your argument - but there is a reason they call you guys gun nuts. You are fucking nuts.
I hope someone takes your legal gun and makes it illegal by shooting you and everybody carrying your tainted genes.
I should not waste my time on this easy to disprove generalization fallacy, but here are facts. The San Bernadino shooting, which started this discussion, was not carried out with Legal guns. Sandy Hook and the whack job from Colorado were also not using legal guns.
Cough. San Bernadino: "All four of the guns were initially purchased legally from federally licensed firearms dealers in California in 2011 and 2012." Sandy Hooks: "These [guns] were legally owned by Lanza's mother who was described as a gun enthusiast.". I couldn't find anything on the legality of the Colorado Springs gun - but since Colorado (outside of Denver) is "gun nuts are welcome" country, chances are it was purchased fully legal.
Neither of the weapons could have become illegal if they hadn't been legally purchased before.
If the mass shooting numbers are really that low, why are we even talking about this? 60 per year is down in the realm of people killed by lightning strikes.
You all get a "can't see the forest because of the trees" award for not recognizing that a 3 million ft square factory has less than 69 acres of floor space.
Maybe you should save the money and give yourself the "too fucking stupid to understand the difference between a factory building and the plot of land it's build upon" award.
Well, just like the British would have stopped Hitler after bringing Austria home into the Reich.
No, not "just like" — for British to stop Hitler, they would've had to fight. For Stalin to stop him, he just had to abolish his own imperialistic designs — on Baltic republics, Finland, and Eastern Poland.
Taking an expensive and bloody action vs. not taking one. That's not at all "just like"...
Wait, what? When Hitler attacked the Soviet Union, they weren't prepared - how could Stalin have stopped Hitler from invading Poland 2 years earlier?
900 acres will sit on 600 acres? Me thinks this company has invented more than just a new electric car design.
The problem is the summary mentions two different claims for the size of the factory and the land it's supposed to be build on, but only gives one source (for the second set of numbers). Her's one for the first.
At Obama's speech last night, he called for both "increased gun control" and "arming the Syrian rebels to fight ISIL".
An interesting position to take guns away from Americans and give them to fighters for hire in Syria, just sayin'...
Well, if the American gun nuts are too cowardly to actually use their guns for something good themselves, let somebody else have them - the Americans obviously don't deserve them.
I would say then that Chief Flynn doesn't know what he is talking about.
I'm pretty sure that the 15 year old murder didn't have a concealed carry permit, and wasn't carrying the gun lawfully.
Yeah, the gun just appeared in his hand fully illegal. It didn't come from some very legal source with a concealed carry permit who neither carried nor concealed the gun, so the boy could just take it.
Half honesty all around eh? The wrong people have ILLEGAL access to guns, not LAWFUL access to guns. Check your facts there pal, because you are obviously missing quite a few in addition to trusting bullshit sources because they fit an agenda, over the official Law enforcement information.
Yawn. The problem with your harping of ILLEGAL vs. LAWFUL is that the vast majority of that illegal access is to guns that were once lawfully purchased. If their purchase had not been legal, they would not even exist, and thus certainly couldn't be accessed illegally. Problem of ILLEGALITY solved.
It's not mine, it's the FBI's long standing standard.
For mass shootings or for mass murder? According to tthe Wikipedia page "The Congressional Research Service acknowledges that there is not a broadly accepted definition,[2] and uses a definition of a "public mass shooting"[3] if 4 or more people are actually killed, not including the perpetrator, echoing the FBI definition[4][5] of the term "mass murder"

Erickson actually paid for the R&D to create something new, unlike curved edges and a single button that Apple patented. Fuck Apple.
If Apple's patents are worthless, why did Ericsson want cross-licensing deals to them?
I've filled over 400 BS patents personally, non of them actually were for new inventions, just different wording of existing patents. At an average cost of a million in legal fees to invalidate 1 parent, I've got a warchest of bullshit

That is the point, 1200 patents, name 3 off the top of your head that aren't trivial, or would not have been invented otherwise. I can't think of 1.
How does the fact that you have no clues about Apple's patent portfolio proof those patents aren't innovative?
Let's say there are 5M Muslims in USA and 40M in Europe and lets say 0.001% of them are radicalised by stuff on the internet and moved to commit violent acts. You do the arithmetic.

Shoot at the screen, and post the picture.
Didn't they say that Mac users didn't believe Macs would need such tools? So why would they download them if that were the case?
Unlike the sight of Trump in golf pants. That won't hurt tourism.
How many of those web sites did Posner visit before he came to the conclusion that it should be illegal to visit those web sites?
Either he is a terrorist sympathizer by his own definition or his claims are not grounded in any facts.
"I don't need to read/view any pornography to know that if I did, I'd get a boner". Or something like that.

Except gun ownership has increased and fire arm related homicides are down.
Actually, they are constant. But gun suicides and mass shootings are up.
I criticize hedge fund manager for investing in Yahoo.
Answer: He wanted free advertisement from having his former truck driving around with it. It backfired. The End.
Wait, I am the idiot for telling the truth,
When you call me a liar for telling the truth, and don't understand my point, yes you are the idiot. You stupid fucking idiot.
Liar! Who owned the Guns?
Listen, you idiot, it's not my fault that you are either too dumb to understand what I wrote and think I am lying, or that your only refuge of your feeble mind is claiming I lye because you are losing your argument - but there is a reason they call you guys gun nuts. You are fucking nuts.

According to the FBI: yes.
If the mass shooting numbers are really that low, why are we even talking about this? 60 per year is down in the realm of people killed by lightning strikes.
Well, The findings establish an increasing frequency of incidents annually. During the first 7 years included in the study, an average of 6.4 incidents occurred annually. In the last 7 years of the study, that average increased to 16.4 incidents annually. - if the number of people killed by lightning strikes were consistently on the rise, people would care.

"Very liberal" was one of the many misspellings in his profile. He meant "very Libertarian".
Oh, you read his mind, did you? Then why didn't you turn him in, numbnuts?
Don't ask me, ask Donald Trump.
No, not "just like" — for British to stop Hitler, they would've had to fight. For Stalin to stop him, he just had to abolish his own imperialistic designs — on Baltic republics, Finland, and Eastern Poland.

To make it clear, your "FBI's long standing standard" is their definition of mass murder, not of mass shootings. For shootings they use the "Active Shooter" definition: An active shooter is an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a populated area - IOW, nobody has to die, not even be hurt for that definition.
