Intel went for IA-64 and it was a complete failure. Ultimately, it was forced to adopt the AMD-64 instruction set. That's what I mean -- Intel missed the boat and the 64-bit instruction set it uses isn't even its own. Since adopting AMD-64, it's dominated the market space. If it wants to get anywhere in the mobile space, it will need to fold its current Atom strategy and go all-out ARM. Until it does that, it's Itanium all over again.
I thought these civilization-collapse nuts were fixated on December 21. There's not going to *be* a next year, right?!
If most think tanks watched a puppy growing for the first month of its life, they would conclude that one year from now it will be 300-foot-tall monster trashing downtown Tokyo.
Five years from now, people will be calling this and subsequent phenomena "The Apple Effect".
"Their stuff is just as good as ours and costs half as much!" Best billion dollars ever spent on advertising.
But then the conspiracy nuts will just counter that the Soviet Union was an invention of the CIA for the purpose of funnelling boatloads of money to the military-industrial complex.
It's part of your Constitutional law: that damages awarded cannot exceed ten times the damages endured by the plaintiff. However, this Constitutional protection is cheefully disregarded by your copyright law, which renders your copyright law unconstitutional. It also seems that judges aren't very good at math, since $150,000 damages on about $0.50 per song is 300,000x damages, which is greater than 10x damages. (The copyright holder doesn't collect the full $0.99 retail price of a song.)
At $150k per virus copy made, Uncle Sam will owe even more $trillions than he does now. On the plus side, he'll be scrapping the 300,000x-actual-damages statutory award.
Finally, someone has sued the world patent offices for their culpability for the trillions of dollars per year caused by their dangerous incompetence in granting tens of thousands of completely invalid patents every year -- obvious solutions to trivial problems that were already invented. 99% of all software patents are invalid!
Also, Samsung's new AMOLED displays are 720x1280, which have more pixels than the iPhone's 640x960. You can put more stuff on a bigger screen with more pixels.
I'm bummed out that Put options on this overpriced turkey won't start trading for six days. (The mechanics of genuine Shorts are too ugly for my taste.)

Intel will be doing the same thing in 3... 2... 1... Just like missing the 64-bit era with Itanium, it is missing he mobile era with Atom.
Samsung Galaxy. 60M vs. 35M units.

On the other hand, the prices of electronics have been known to go down over time.
It's a hectogiga conglomerate.

Because the settlement money helps the government pay its bills.

I'd like a $10-trillion hand-out, too.

It's called the Confirmation bias.
Sue Carreon for copyright infringement. Let's see, 300 comics at $150,000 each = $45-million. Maybe he'll settle for only $10-million...
Illegal restraint of trade.
Futurama had comic + motion + sound effects* in Fry's Delivery-Boy Man.
* (well, not "good" sound effects)
How much funding does the city have set aside to fight off 'illegal restraint of trade' lawsuits?
Former producer turning patent troll is the last gasp of a dying company.
What's this, social activists edit their posted videos to hide the truth? Shocking!

Sure you can.

So this guy's never heard of a the subtroutine concept?
Given the other phase names, I surprised the marketing department didn't call this "Detect Awesomeness!".
