  1. 88+ arrested according to Wikipedia's tracking. on McAfee Labs Predicts Decline of Anonymous · · Score: 1

    Wikipedia tracks at least 88 Guy Fawkes wearing kiddies arrested - maybe more, because the US, UK and Netherlands coordinated police effort has not been accurately tracked yet: http://it.slashdot.org/story/12/12/28/156208/mcafee-labs-predicts-decline-of-anonymous. That's the problem with shooting ion cannons that broadcast your IP address.

    I was just copy and pasting from their web page - but I can believe they make air conditioners and toaster ovens. And they probably demand that every product turn a profit.

    My kids have iPods and an iPhone and a Macbook Air lying around the house. Not my cup of tea personally. And yes - Apple sues too much over stupid (and increasingly invalidated) patents. And yes, it reminds me of SCO's business strategy, and its a really really bad business strategy.

    The whole "they'll sue you for this and that" thing is getting really fucking old.

    You are right - Apple should seriously stop being a patent troll and slow down with the lawsuits. Although, I'm sure Darl McBride would be proud.

    Samsung has a bunch of ugly yachts chained to the dock in the Netherlands by the police for failure to pay?

    They aren't all slender because they don't eat - they eat like horses. But its a lot less red meat (as in a LOT less), almost no dairy, and tons of rice and veggies.

    It's the framework for KDE, which is the excellent, fast UI environment I use on my Linux rigs.

  21. The one thing I know about Samsung on Nokia Dethroned As Top Phone Maker By Samsung · · Score: 3, Interesting

    is that they know how to build a massive international product line from the ground up with minimal expense, and they rarely over-extend themselves. I've known some Korean engineers that worked for them, and the company does not seem to be subject to the same Wall Street pressures that cause so many companies to shoot themselves in the face. If they decide to get into a business, they have a solid plan that they stick to. If they decide not to get into a business, they won't be persuaded no matter what the latest whims of the consumer market would seem to dictate.

    I guess I would call them the anti-Sony.

    Hollywood Movies = Big screen, 1.4 hour-long advertisements for Apple, Gucci, Rayban, BMW, etc. All for the low price of $12 bucks, plus another $12 for crappy popcorn and a soda. The companies even pay to have their products "placed" in the films.
