This isn't true at all! It doesn't take "pages" of code to open a context and draw something, not even close. It is a poor choice though, since you're starting from absolutely nothing. You don't have a single resizable button control or any way to kern/reflow text for labels.
Oh my god. No one cares about that bullshit! You just estimate a song at 3:30 and say 256kbps and multiply it out! Your mother is not going to flip through her music collection and sue the phone maker because she only got 3/4ths the number of songs promised. And most likely, if someone has that much music or that unusual of a collection, they'll figure out ahead of time if it will fit!

There would need to be a way to strongly restrict the ways that apps could hook in or else things could turn into a disaster quickly. Not to mention the fact that the larger you make the domain of Siri, the more poorly it'll perform. That's just how AI works.
What the... there's nothing about lawsuits in there. It just talks about the negotiations between Xerox and Apple, and how Apple didn't just copy what they saw, but tweaked and expanded on it massively until it was a completely different product.
Xerox's claims were dismissed because the claims they made were not actual violations of law. The court also didn't uphold any of Apple's claims vs Microsoft either, other than some silly stuff about a trash can icon, so it's not like Xerox lost out because they didn't dot their 'i's while mean old Apple Legal raped and pillaged.
I'm so glad to see Slashdot his picked a side in this patent battle. I guess we'll just safely assume that Samsung only tried to submarine the entire 3G standard in retaliation of Apple's legal moves and would have never pulled that shit with less than noble intentions. I guess whenever Apple gets mad because one of their biggest business partners is aping their design cues and ripping off their trade dress, that they are trying to patent rectangles and smother innovation.
Apple asked Xerox politely if it could have its lunch money and Xerox handed it over willingly in exchange for lunch... futures.
Look, I don't know about making this a metaphor. Point is that the "Apple stole from Xerox" thing is basically a myth. It was all above board. Xerox may seriously regret giving away the idea of the century in exchange for basically nothing but that doesn't change what happened.
At least it's technically accurate and well-written in addition to being dumbed down. I'll take that over your average mystery summary, which is misleading (either in the name of sensationalism or promotion), contains several typos, and at least one meaningless buzzword.
The word they as a singular pronoun to refer to a person of unspecified sex has been used since at least the 16th century. In the late 20th century, as the traditional use of he to refer to a person of either sex came under scrutiny on the grounds of sexism, this use of they has become more common. It is now generally accepted in contexts where it follows an indefinite pronoun such as anyone, no one, someone, or a person.
In other contexts, coming after singular nouns, the use of they is now common, although less widely accepted, esp. in formal contexts. Sentences such as : ask a friend if they could help are still criticized for being ungrammatical. Nevertheless, in view of the growing acceptance of they and its obvious practical advantages, they is used in this dictionary in many cases where he would have been used formerly.
The Kin was made by Danger. The Zune failed for reasons unrelated to hardware design and build quality. They should go for it. Make something nice and do it right. Give device makers someone to copy that isn't Apple for once (even if your tablet is a copy of the iPad, at least 3rd party makers will get some idea of what to change about the iPad design and what to leave alone).
That's funny, I was about to say the same exact thing about the way people decide that they hate Apple and tie thier personal identity to that hatred and attack everything the company does with a bizarre fervor.
That's their PR service for magazines and such. They keep it behind a password now, but it's still a bulk account that gets handed out, usually around E3. Sometimes the credentials leak and we get glimpses of press releases for unannounced games, embargoed stuff, full res artwork and everything.
Well, pacing in a game is supposed to be a little stop and go, so most action games have uneven pacing by design. The DNF demo had pacing that was more... strange I guess. Odd. It would have strange buildups with no payoff, or big bursts of action out of nowhere.

You mean as a country rich in oil and other natural resources. Not every country has that luxury, you smug son of a bitch.

Someone isn't ready for their closeup!
and how do I make it go away!
That was March 2011.
Yes, Apple really made their bed by getting sued by Motorola in October 2010.

I assume it can't be circumcised because, as conceptual business model, it lacks genitalia.
Hahahaha
This is the worst suggestion since Hitler's painting instructor told him to go into politics.

Got it.

Jet fuel is about $3 per gallon.
Usually at a much lower speed using IR.

Well, they're no louder than an oil furnace at least. I wouldn't mind.
Here's the real problem: do you want them spewing heat in the middle of the summer?
You should probably be able to spot this pop-culture reference even if you've never seen the movie.
They stopped producing music that appealed to the current youth.
