  1. Re:Samsung marketing hard at work... on Unredacted Documents In Apple/Samsung Case, No Evidence of 'Copy' Instruction · · Score: 1

    I'm also quite baffled. I'm seriously questionning the integrity of this site.

  2. Re:Case Reset... on Unredacted Documents In Apple/Samsung Case, No Evidence of 'Copy' Instruction · · Score: -1, Troll

    What are you talking about? There was no misconduct. If there was, the judge would have kicked the guilty juror out. I think you've only seeing the fandroid perspective. Perhaps the question is, what will you do once the appeal's court confirms the judgement?

  3. Aha! on Shakedowns To Fix Negative Online Reviews · · Score: 3, Funny

    That might explain all the negative comments we see about Microsoft.

  4. Re:No need to.... on Why Apple Replaced iOS Maps · · Score: 1

    What Apple supporters base their predictions on is irrelevant. What counts is what Apple themselves decided would be a success factor. I expect these to be sales/profit/market share increase from last quarter or same quarter last year. What Joe-pro-Apple thinks it should be is freegame as Joe-pro-Android or Joe-pro-something-else is also free to start changing what they consider being a success factor.

  5. Re:This Poll is Dumb on Even Windows 8 Users Prefer Windows 7 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Hanging back might, on the contrary, send a message to Microsoft to fix things up and release an OS people actually want to use.

  6. Re:This Poll is Dumb on Even Windows 8 Users Prefer Windows 7 · · Score: 2

    Maybe it's the schizophrenic nature of Windows 8 which is problematic. This is something Windows never had before. Having two UIs can be rather confusing and you do need to learn both ways of performing simple tasks like printing, saving or opening a document.

    Natural selection my friend. In the end only the supermassives will survive.

    But it's certainly not using passive NFC.

    Coincidence? I think not.

  10. Re:Hyperbolie much? on iPhone 5 Scorns Standards Promise To European Commission · · Score: 1

    Positive iPhone comments labelled trolls.

    What has /. become. Sad.

    So how do you connect your "wireless" charger(s) to the power outlet?

  12. Re:They include an adaptor for the EU on iPhone 5 Scorns Standards Promise To European Commission · · Score: 1

    Well I had my iPhone 4 for two years and 4 months charging it about once a day. That's about 840 and I'll probably upgrade to the iPhone 5 by November. So far, it feels like I just bought it. So that irreplaceable battery and connector is doing good so far and might go past that 1000 mark should my I pass down my iPhone 4 to my son.

    Rated are usually minimums.

    When you're insanely rich, they call them "tycoons."

  14. Re:Is USB really better? on iPhone 5 Scorns Standards Promise To European Commission · · Score: 1

    You should tell Nintendo that. They have the most proprietary connector than any other manufacturer.

  15. Re:Is USB really better? on iPhone 5 Scorns Standards Promise To European Commission · · Score: 1

    The iPad 2 prefers to be charged directly from a power adapter. USB as a charging source is no longer enough for newer mobile devices. It was fine for devices from 2006-2009 but after that, things started to change quite a bit.

  16. Re:Is USB really better? on iPhone 5 Scorns Standards Promise To European Commission · · Score: 1

    Unlike yours, my 2+ year old iPhone 4 keeps a pretty good charge. In fact, I haven't noticed a difference since I initially got it. Never had to change the battery.

  17. Re:Technically, Apple IS compliant. on iPhone 5 Scorns Standards Promise To European Commission · · Score: 1

    This was in 2009 so based on phones from 2007 and 2008. This is a seriously outdated agreement given how fast smartphone industry moves.

    I would probably give Apple kudos, re: the environment, for releasing software which remains mostly compatible with their previous smartphones. I'm sure you'll find less iPhones in landfills compared to other phones released around the same time - proportional to their sales volume of course.

  18. Re:Technically, Apple IS compliant. on iPhone 5 Scorns Standards Promise To European Commission · · Score: 1

    Interesting. Sounds like a half-handed measure. People should blame government then and not Apple.

    Also, I'm certain there will be iPhone 5 adapters to fit on the older docking connectors. It's not going "junk" all previous accessories.

    Advertisements already pay for "free" TV (well, some of it). If Google can give away software and cloud services using advertising why isn't that a reasonable option?

  22. Re:Streisand effect? on Side-Effect of the Apple v. Samsung Trial: Increased Sales for Samsung · · Score: 2

    It's simply, imho, a question of what's the newest and greatest. At this time, Apple has the iPhone 4S and Samsung recently released the SIII. It should be popular since people are attracted to new things. Once the iPhone 5 is out and if it has enough of a cool factor, perhaps we'll see another switch in who's on top...

  23. Justice is decided by the people on Why Juries Have No Place In the Patent System · · Score: 1

    To me, it's the job of the lawyers to educate and present in layman's terms what the case at hand is all about. If we can have jury trials for murder, where expert witnesses present complex evidence, I don't see why we can't have them for patent cases.

  24. Re:Criminal law on Android Piracy Sites Seized By US Government · · Score: 1

    Given that the government represents the people, it does in fact concern the government itself. Unless you're into having private police forces, you're stuck with this.

  25. Re:Criminal law on Android Piracy Sites Seized By US Government · · Score: 1

    I think the government's responsibility is to enforce laws. Whether someone is actually guilty of breaking a law is determined in court by a judge and/or jury which is independent from the government.
