By its nature, a GUI shell for a phone can't "infringe" on more patents than any other competing UI (such as, say, iPhone, Symbian shells, default Android one, or Hildon Desktop) does by the virtue of its existence -- it's nothing special, functionality is obvious and existed for decades.
That's just an application for Android. It has nothing to do with Microsoft, other then sharing its name with similar HTC application running on Windows Mobile.
"Human rights" is currently a code word for "puppet government loyal to US". As long as this is the case, I suggest keeping your human rights initiatives WITHIN your own country.
LEFT THE US FOR THAILAND. I think that's a bit more of a news story, that the US health care system is so bad that he has to fly to Thailand to get treated.
That's not unusual at all. Plenty of people who immigrated to US, go to their countries of origin for medical treatment. Unless it's something urgent, or a treatment that is only available in US, it's almost always cheaper with the same level of quality.
A council spokesman said: “The council has a duty of care to protect its employees and as this blog contains damaging claims about council officers, legal action is being taken to identify those responsible.”
That's some GREAT use for public money -- feeding lawyers, fueling scandals and elevating shit posted on twitter to something other than rumors.
Yes, but Oracle also is good at fucking up and destroying things they have bought. They are what Computer Associates were -- and Computer Associates managed to destroy Clipper!
$100 million is just 20 million phone fees. With current rate of production that's what HTC pays to Microsoft in about a year and a half, a much shorter time than a $100 million lawsuit.
Nope. They are plain vanilla Android phones. HTC makes other phones (with identical or nearly identical hardware) that run Microsoft software. This looks more like classic Microsoft scam when they ask "per processor" fee for all hardware produced -- regardless if it does or doesn't run anything from Microsoft.
You were attack dogs of Americans who subverted your legitimate left-wing movement/union and placed it in power after it sworn loyalty to them and their right-wing goals.
It's like saying that Al Capone was bad at being a mobster.
Microsoft is pretty much defined as a company that started at monopoly position, produces technologically mediocre or plain inadequate products and maintains its control of the market by making those products so bad, interoperability with anything else is nearly impossible. Place a smart person at the helm of such organization, and it will destroy itself by losing this advantage. Gates and Ballmer are perfect people to run Microsoft -- first is driven by realization that he is the dumbest guy among everyone he knew at Harvard, second is a corporate nobody with bad temper and overblown ego.
Debian -- easy to manage, easy to create new packages for, least amount of nonstandard, distribution-specific stuff (except configuration files management, but that is a result of having to keep individual packages' configuration tied to packages).
No, they are not. TSRs are processes in a single-task OS that remain resident but do not run by themselves because OS has no scheduler. They may contain interrupt handlers or entry points used by other software, however OS has no role in passing control to those processes. OS keeps their memory allocated but that's all.
Daemons are processes in a multitasking systems that are constantly running (usually sleeping waiting for I/O most of the time) under control of the system scheduler without visible interaction with the user, console or terminals. In Unix-like systems traditional daemon loses its control terminal on startup -- when such daemon starts, its original process terminates.
there's only a tiny difference that the daemon is visible as a process when it's there - but that's better than hiding.
TSR is very much visible in DOS -- it has PSP and MCB(s) just like any other process.
You may laugh but I have both at home, next to each other, both connected to my Linux desktop. The phone needed a separate pulse-to-tone converter to work with Linksys SIP adapter, that in its turn talks to Asterisk running on the desktop.
There is a fundamental difference between refusing to keep a giant navy and not being able to build a ship whenever it happens to be necessary. Most sane people most of the time would shudder at a thought of having a use for a warship.
So basically you are a member of aristocratic group of parasites that produces nothing of importance and uses over-expensive universities that favor heirs of rich families as a method of selection for its members?
That's what gives university education a bad name in the first place.

Then why US claims that there are insufficient "human rights" each and every time when it attacks or tries to undermine a foreign government?

I am for labeling 100%. I want to be able to make the choice to accept GMO or not.
So you are one of those guys that caused EVERYTHING to have label "May or may not contain horrible poisons"?
No, because those people clearly were brain-damaged to begin with.
Who else would eat something THAT unhealthy?
Yes, but Oracle also is good at fucking up and destroying things they have bought. They are what Computer Associates were -- and Computer Associates managed to destroy Clipper!
Except most of the world doesn't even recognize software patents, and sends those attempts to file directly into the circular file.
EV1 actually bought those licenses.

Judging by how Oracle handles other products, I wouldn't worry about that.

Then all VPNs will break. Therefore no telecommuting. The increase of gasoline consumption would be enough to mess up economy.
