The case is nothing to do with Linux, it's to do with Java. The fact that they are running Java on Linux is irrelevant, and doesn't contravene the OIN.
"If you co-operate with the coalition forces, you will be in so much danger that you will have to leave your family and friends and go to a foreign country whose lifestyle is incomprehensible to you". Great advert.
If they accidentally brick it, then that's for the courts to decide whether the accident was reasonably avoidable. If they "accidentally" brick it, then that's illegal. Those quotes are important. Establishing the presence of quotes in a court is tricky, though.
Well, if I see a photograph that a climatologist says "this is a glacier", I tend to believe them. And anyway, yes I thought I could tell the difference from a photograph, but maybe I'm mistaken.
Also, picture was taken in September 1921, so ice would have been at its lowest point anyway if it was seasonal. No-one climbs Everest in winter, at least they didn't in 1921.
I'm not a member of a video rental store any more because I have a bigger range of movies on TV and I have a HDD recorder, also the range of DVDs available for purchase elsewhere is better and cheaper than 15 years ago when I used to rent movies. HMV, not piracy, have taken over from Blockbuster.
How much of your time does all that take, and is that time really only worth $100 a month to you? If it takes you less than 3 hours a month, then you're probably skilled enough to be worth more than $33 an hour as an IT admin. If it takes more than that, then that's time you could spend writing your next book instead.
No, the iPhone suffers from this old-hardware-becomes-obsolete thing that the IT industry has lived with since forever. You buy a computing device, it will become obsolete some time. I'm sure there will be things that iOS6 can do that the iPhone4 can't do, and it probably won't even run iOS7 at all.
As with all Apple v Google stories, this is a tough one to call.
I'm inclined to think that Apple are being unreasonable in this one. They let other copmanies access Apple's analytics information, but not if that company is a competitor. Well, on one hand no-one is forced to do business with anyone else if they don't want to. GM don't have to sell engines to Ford, or tell Ford how to access their cars' engine management systems. They could tell Delphi Corp how to access GM engine diagnostics, whilst reserving the right not to allow their competitors to do so. But as with all analogies, even car ones, this is flawed. This is more like not allowing Ford adverts on a GM in-car stereo. Or, not allowing Ford to know if anyone listened to their advert, whilst allowing Delphi (and themselves) to know. Hm. What do you do when even a car analogy breaks down?

The BP link is a blank page to me. Also I don't get any sponsored links here in the UK, I guess the keywords are regional. I wonder if the BP page is regional.
How exactly can the PR and marketing department assist a mile underwater? Answer, they can't. BP has to survive as a company in order to be able to fix the problem and make amends. They could go bust, but how would that help anyone?
Well, I have an iPhone and I'm happy with it, but I don't think that makes me an Apple fanboy. Every time I use my brother's mac, I get annoyed with the user interface. I'm going to wait for the v2 iPad before deciding if I want one or not. I'm tempted by a v4 iPhone but I'll probably wait until next year, my 18-month-old 3G is enough for me.
A combination of good marketing and a loyal fan base that know that they tend to like Apple products. One person's fanboi is another person's satisfied customer.
If he had missed out 1, his statement would have been incorrect. He never said they were all prime, just that all other numbers were a combination of primes.
On an individual scale, that's correct. But average it out over their entire subscriber base, and the two become indistinguishable. Limiting the transfer total is very much simpler and fairer than limiting bandwidth (do you really want unlimited transfer hobbled at 2400 baud?)
I'd rather have the tiered data plan then have them go out of business and have nothing.
You'd rather a major carrier went out of business? Well, that might wake up the others, but it doesn't seem likely. Then again, neither did Enron or Citibank.

Talking as a mountain climber, do you know the difference between snow and a glacier?
The 1921 photo was taken in September
Snow != glacier - and anyway, the 1921 photo was taken in september

Maybe this is for corporate customers who want to push corporate apps out to all their devices.

Yes, but what if they don't sell thousands? As for millions, you must be joking.
Heh, you should try OpenOffice.org basic.

You think you know their business better than they do? If they would make more money selling cheaper, then why don't they? Are they stupid?
He's not claiming they said that they know they are bogus, just claiming that they know it.

Seconded. I've written a small library for driving command prompt applications in AutoIt.
