THIS!!!
I keep hearing "end of the last ice age" & "climate change" and thinking to myself... errr we're still in an ice-age, polar caps are not "normal" for earth.

yes, singers and musicians are incapable of anticipating the beat, obviously. oh no, wait, they aren't!
this prior art should not matter, the patent should have been denied on the grounds that it is bloody obvious, that is a reason for rejecting them is it not?
nope, I've had various accounts over the years, but due to the franticness of life I no longer recall the passwords nor have access to the email accounts that they're linked to for password resets. I've been a reader since late '98. most comments in the last few years have been AC.
I think anyone with a modicum of insight into the history of apple and the tech world in general is fully aware that Herr Jobs was nothing but a capitalist CAUC. My friend's post on G+ sums it up nicely... https://plus.google.com/110294227533168060832/posts/hwQWSWkNLYT
it doesn't really matter what the EULA says, the courts (in the EU at least) have already ruled on this kind of restriction in the video game market... they ruled it invalid. I think the US courts might do the same under the guise of the First Sale doctrinaire.

just because the software is flexible enough to do the job doesn't make it the right tool for that job. this system can indeed be built in house by those who don't have a full understanding of programming but do have a better insight in to the data that's being manipulated. it's going to be poorly documented and when it breaks or goes wrong very few people are going to be able to fix it for you. Do the job properly from the outset - hire a programmer and have custom software written to your spec. The false economy of using off the shelf products has led to many companies downfall.
You see it in your day to day life, when something happens that has no explanation we as humans need one, so we often invent one. If someone took a strange action we quite often justify it in our own heads - sometimes with a very convoluted and most likely improbable reason. When our forbearers had no explanation of why the sun rises because they didn't have the tools (nor the prior learning required) to understand it. So they invent a billygoat kicking the sun around the sky creating day and night. Religion is a side-effect of having an imagination and our need to explain the world around us. Literature, art, poetry and music are the good things we get from imagination. Science, engineering and math are the benefits of our need to measure and explain the world around us.
So while your holy text might contain morals (some of which are great, others, i struggle to fit the world "moral" around) the bit about creation come from cavemen/hunter-gatherers that had yet to workout how to work metal or polish optics to build the tools that would have given them evidence to the contrary.
some of us do like it, saves me having to post as AC all the time;cause I'm too lazy to log in. posts on here not seen by my FB buddies. there are other ways to protect your privacy. might actually start building up karma.

if you get all the SV CEOs and VCs onto one plane most of the tech world's problems could be eliminated with one well aimed SAM.
tell that to Boucher (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_re_Boucher) and Fricosu (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Fricosu).
is it still illegal if you do it inside a Faraday cage where it can't be detected and cannot interfere with legitimate signals?

you sir, have summed up everything in a very eloquent manner. remember when /. was edited by people with a brain?

I bought a sun E250 on ebay about 56 years back for £50. It is only used as a space heater in my spare room.
astrophysics is evidence that a billy goat doesn't kick the sun across the sky - isn't it? We got that from telescopes and centuries of observation.

this is why they're moving to software as a service. they've realised that the feature bloat is not sustainable.
