I have stopped buying new music and new movies because of the activities of the rights holders. This will only drive more people away. I just wish the whole entertainment industry would dry up and go away, we'd all be a lot better off.
Samsung could have used a circle, a pentagram or even a doughnut. There was no reason to copy Apple's proprietary rectangular design. Samsung needs to do their own research to find the best shape for their product and stop stealing Apple's.
What you should be most angry about is that you are paying someone tens of thousands of dollars a year to pump out this garbage so some asshole can sue your company and cause you to lose your job.
Phone companies emerged from monopolies and in many ways they still operate like they are monopolies. In virtually every other industry business strives to provide more service at a lower cost. Telecommunications is the only industry that constantly strives to deliver less service at a higher cost. That is why they need regulation. Otherwise we would be back to tin cans and string as an improvement to their service.
With a duopoly the consumer will pay dearly and the monopolists will rake in huge profits. That makes it inevitable that manufacturers will make their own tablets with some other OS installed. Manufacturers don't sell software and the Linux distributions will handle software support so it makes sense for them to produce their own. Microsoft could easily be setting itself up to be left with only the crumbs while Linux dominates the market and Apple takes the premium.
Scientists have to start explaining science in terms people can understand so they don't have to resort to burning witches. They could start with "Evolution was God's idea!"
Censorship in China is illegal. Since it's illegal, it doesn't happen, so there is no need for a complaint mechanism. Amusing as that line of thinking (or not thinking) is, it isn't as bad as the Conservative government in Canada. Faced with criticism about it's environmental policies, it responded by taking away environmental organisations charitable status. Don't respond to criticism, wipe it out. Maybe that's why Prime Minister Harper refers to his jet as the Death Star.
Geezers have more memorable life experience from which to draw good passwords. Which doesn't exactly explain why all geezer passwords are some version of DamnTeenagers!
Campfire songs are probably one of the biggest threats to the music industry today! Every weekend in summer there are thousands upon thousands of illegally sung songs, it's absolutely criminal! Once we stop that we'll have to work on the next big threat, humming. People have been humming tunes to themselves for generations and not a single cent has been paid to the writers for these illegal performances. It is criminal and must be stopped! Soon the technology will be available to read what people are thinking, and finally the music industry can put a stop to people remembering a tune. Remembering a tune you have heard is actually an illegal copy and people should rightly be imprisoned for illegally remembering music!
It is well known in North Carolina scientific circles that words can hold back the ocean. The proof is right there in the Bible when Moses held back the red sea with just a few words to God. Obviously the population will be able to merely say a prayer hold back sea. Global warming is a problem created by man but it can quickly and easily be cured by God, all you have to do is ask. NC alchemists have already succeeded in turning slave labor into gold, sea level will be a snap!

I want it I need it please please please can I have it?
Had to ask.
Widening search parameters never should have been given a patent.

It's the zombie like duplicate people that will really creep you out!
No wonder their business model is in trouble. I think I'll patent not letting customers leave the restaurant until they've eaten their vegetables.

More cost, less benefit. That's going to get us out of recessoin!
Move to the Delta Quadrant and become a Borg.

I tried carbon dating but kept getting turned down.
Wait till they find out there is only a Departure gate.

That is why the bible says 'without beginning and without end' because where there is no time there is no beginning or end.

When my parents sent me money they would do it with an electronic transfer. It was certainly a gift so how is this patent novel?
I can't imagine where that's going to go.
