  1. Re:I'm not the bad guy here on Tim Cook Never Wanted To Sue Samsung · · Score: 1

    There may not be a real example, but if you would read on the subject you would know that AOL patented the idea first. For a web browser, even.

  2. Re:I'm not the bad guy here on Tim Cook Never Wanted To Sue Samsung · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You mean the one that got invalidated as a patent?

  3. And what of auto-correct? on New Zealand Frontline Police Get Apple Devices in Efficiency Measure · · Score: 1

    Are the police going to start writing like teens? What of the problems of autocorrect?

  4. Re:No problem here on iOS 6.1 Leads To Battery Life Drain, Overheating For iPhone Users · · Score: 1

    I've seen reports of this too. It all points to a bug in iOS calendar handling with Exchange. It repeatedly tries to update the calendar even though it errors out. It tries multiple times per second.

  5. Re:No problem here on iOS 6.1 Leads To Battery Life Drain, Overheating For iPhone Users · · Score: 4, Informative

    I've read about a problem like this. It was a bug in the handling of exchange servers for the built in mail app. Removing and re-adding the exchange account seemed to fix it. The bug will randomly reappear at times and there is no known cause.

  6. Sager on Ask Slashdot: Buying a Laptop That Doesn't Have Windows 8 · · Score: -1

    Sager has a bunch that you can configure with Windows 7. However, quite frankly, this all reminds me of the Vista hate that was perpetrated by people who had not even used it.

  7. Re:And Apple's cut... on Apple's App Store Tops 40 Billion Downloads; Generates $7 Billion For Developers · · Score: 1

    Microsoft also drops to only taking 20% after a certain sales figure. (I think it was $50K).

  8. Re:i is for idiot. on Apple Loses Claim For False Advertising Regarding Amazon "App Store" · · Score: 1

    Difference is Intel asked whereas Apple just starts suing. It also says Intel offered to pay for a new fancy sign. Article even calls it a "no bully" move. Perhaps read your link more carefully next time?

  9. Re:Consequences on Apple Loses Claim For False Advertising Regarding Amazon "App Store" · · Score: 1

    Apple was very late to the game. I remember devices coming with Handango. I think my Moto RZR had it as well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_digital_distribution_platforms_for_mobile_devices

  10. Re:Reach for your wallet. on AMD Tweaking Radeon Drivers To Reduce Frame Latency Spikes · · Score: 0

    That is partly because Windows 7 supports drivers from Windows Vista.

    Kind of interesting when you factor all this in.

  14. Re:Single Supplier on NTSB Dumps BlackBerry In Favor of iPhone 5 · · Score: 1

    Why do iOS users need to update their phone so often? Is it because Apple locked them down so hard in the first place that the only way to get those features is to update their OS?

    What percent of Blizzard's money comes from PC games? oh... right. :D

    I like how you don't bring up the jailbreakme website or acknowledge it exists.

  17. Re:iphone on Google May Soon Scan Your Android Apps For Malware · · Score: 1

    That's why Apple let all those apps upload your contact info to the internet.

  18. Re:Microsoft Mythconception on Apple iPad Mini Could Complicate Things For Windows 8 Tablets · · Score: 1

    Don't forget all the developers who need to own all the iOS devices their app is going out on, for testing. Multiples if they want to test multiple versions of iOS.

    They have had this for a while, it's not the same, but it's better than you make it sound. http://www.google.com/mobile/maps/3d/

    The Asus Transformer Infinity has a 1920 Ã-- 1200. It's widescreen (not 4:3 like the iPad).

    Lies, damned lies, and statistics! What if Android users are just smarter and request desktop sites while masquerading as a different browser?

    You show why the old Zune Music Pass was the best. $15/mo, but you get to keep 10 DRM free tracks. (It was cheaper if you went for longer subs).

    Nobody came to my help when I worked 80 hours a week for five months straight.

  25. Re:Bad example on Misunderstanding of Prior Art May Have Led to Apple-Samsung Verdict · · Score: 1

    That's about Gorilla Glass 2, rumored to be used in the iPhone 5. Not even Corning has listed Apple as a user in the past, so it's very secretive. However, as I said, the iPhone does not seem to perform the same as other phones with it. This is what makes me doubt it's there currently.
