Samsung just needed to make small adjustments and has updated their models to provide models that don't violate the patents, the ban is on slightly older models that did violate the patents. Apple's ban was much wider and didn't have any small workaround and would have destroyed their market.
But that doesn't make sense. Samsung commits relatively minor patent infringements, and the import ban stands. Apple commits major patent infringements that result in a much more severe ban and the ban is vetoed.
Lesson learned here, if you're going to infringe on a patent go big and get away scott free.
Kinda like how the US is 17 trillion in debt, can't pay for most things and threaten to shut down government putting families out of work yet congress can all agree within a few hours to give themselves a pay raise.
Doesn't matter. Whoever their replacement is will be brainwashed within hours of taking office. They will never ever do what the people want anymore. It all about their personal pocketbooks and their family. When it comes to running again, they just start spewing lies out to the people for a few months to get re-elected then back to old business.
I'm going to guess if someone was being raped, murdered or mugged right in front of the cop then he would deal with that before giving a ticket to someone using their phones GPS.
Big difference in a cop seeing someone breaking the law then not seeing it and having to prove the law was broken by other means. Even then, detectives deal with those and not traffic cops.
Bluetooth low energy doesn't work on the Samsung Galaxy line because Samsung won't release the hardware specs on it. If you want to make use of BLE then you need to run a TouchWiz ROM. All the other standard Bluetooth seem to work just fine.
That's my point exactly. A huge portion of the cars made from mid 80's through mid/late 90's only lasted 6-10 years before needing some very costly upkeep or repairs done to them. That gave the US auto manufactures a big black eye that they are still recovering from. Just in the past few years they have started making a comeback.
It's true that GM (and other US made cars) made from the 80's though mid/late 90's were pretty bad, they have greatly improved since. My 2004 Trailblazer is still running perfect. Had it for 10 years this Oct. and getting close to 150k miles.
While I hate ads myself and remove them in my own method from FB, if everyone used these types of mods then FB would have no way of making money off advertisments. That's what they are trying to prevent. I myself use Stylish and just make my own small CSS changes. Below is what I put together. All it does is hide a few page elements such as ads.
I'm a programmer and it really depends on the severity of the issue. Without steps to reproduce, finding the cause of an issue can sometimes be like finding a needle in a haystack. So, if it's not a big deal, it's not worth the effort.
Oh hell yeah. So true.
I had a client keep reporting about a problem with their web page. I along with no one in the office could reproduce it. Seeing as the client was in town, I went to their office and was able to reproduce the problem. Turns out it was an extension they had installed. I told them to disable all extensions beforehand and they said they did. Lets say they ended up paying a hefty service fee. They tried to dispute it but failed.
If I recall correctly, there was even personal and family information posted online about some Blizzard employees by angry WoW players.
Either way, the trolling on gaming forums is far out of hand. I won't even bother visiting them anymore because 90% of them are just that. The only time I will is if I'm having hardware problems and I'm looking for fixes.
Because Apple would be giving some control back to the end users and 3rd party accessories makers. This isn't anything Apple is willing to do. It's also a mind game. A lot of iDevice users believe the fancy ports are better than standard USB ports when in fact they both do the same thing.
Ok, 30 minutes go by - they have screened all their crap and finally the splash screen for the feature presentation.
30 minutes after the scheduled start time? Over exaggerate much? What the hell theater do you go to? Every movie I've gone to it's maybe 7 minutes after the start time. Sure there are ads before the start time but it's not like you're strapped in your seat with your eyes pinned open all Robot Chicken style being forced to watch them. Also they aren't that loud.
I'm confused. I don't see this and never have on my iPad. Is it only in iOS versions > 5.1.1? I have the first gen iPad so I got one of those "fragmented" versions of the iOS.

I'm guessing Apple donated more money to the Obama campaign(s) than Samsung (if any) did.

The S is awesome looking and I would love one but then there's the price...

Bacon bombs? Sure you can drop a few on my house but I don't think the middle east would like them that much.
Sounds like Skynet is attempting to secure itself for some future attack.
Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!

I prefer to watch YouTube via Chrome (beta) on my Note 2. The app seems to have buffering problems from time to time.
I believe Optimus Prime already owns that tagline.

Not only are (some) rooted people spoofing in the Ingress game, now you can do it with overriding the GPS signals.

Wait, you're just NOW considering adding Chinese and Russian languages to your spam filters?
