From what I have been reading in the American media recently, wouldnt the best solution simply be to give away a free gun to every person who buys an expensive mobile device?
A thief cant take your expensive item if the thief is dead. As a side bonus, you get to shoot somebody to death! ( a national enjoyment from what ive been reading )
As a secondary bonus, you get to reduce the insanely massive gun problem in the USA at the same time, as apparently the *only* solution to lots of guns is.....moar guns!
What this enables is the possible production of millions and millions of more guns, which is perfect for fixing the out of control gun culture in the USA.
Remember, the *only* right solution to lots of guns is.....more guns! amiright?
Nobody will ever take away the Americans GOD given right to shoot lots of people to death. Its the only answer to everything.
Why jailbreak an iOS device? Arnt they supposed to be the absolute pinnacle of technology where everything "Just Works", and if it doesnt work, its not the device at fault, its just that you are simply doing/holding it wrong?
I thought it was all roses and smiles and content happy thoughts in the Walled Garden?
Why modify that which is supposed to be perfect? Why Jailbreak?
You are right, you cant buy it....well, erm, except for when I bought one and have been using it for weeks. And a few of my colleagues have bought some too.
So yeah, you cant buy them, except for when you...um, can...buy them.
Or maybe they're not using radio at all. I mean, it's kind of an inefficient slow form of communication over long distances, if you think about it.
Ummm, ignoring the possibility that you said that statement to be funny, but do you not realize that radio waves travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, and that it is physically impossible to communicate information faster than lightspeed?
How exactly is that a "slow" form of communication when it is actually the fastest possible?

What amazes me is how cheap the entire MSL mission is...
The entire budget was only 4 days in Iraq/Afghanistan, or approx USD$2.5billion.
NASA's entire budget is less than what the US Army spends on air-conditioning in Iraq/Afghanistan ( USD$20 billion ).
I. Kid. You. Not.
They are recompiled from HDL (Hardware Descriptive Langauge), so making up a new one can be as fast as a new FireFox rev.
HDL = Hardware Description Language.
There, fixed that for you.
Never will happen. too hard to detect don't care what anyone says.
Uh huh, and we couldnt go to the moon either.

Did you put your fingers in your ears and scream NANANANANA when you finished saying that rubbish sentence?
If Carmack was giving money anonymously, how do you know it was him?
It is also the second loudest device ever created by man. The first being the hydrogen bomb!
hmm, this doesnt pass the smell test.
methinks a standard multi-kiloton fission bomb would be louder than the Saturn V. Quieter than a thermonuclear bomb, but louder than the Saturn.

a win-win-win from all accounts.
In the USA, this can only be a good thing.
What this enables is the possible production of millions and millions of more guns, which is perfect for fixing the out of control gun culture in the USA.

Why would you need this on a Mac?
to um...fend off the malware?
Seriously dude, did you even read what you just wrote?

According to the patent "is not a scroll bar"
HOW is this NOVEL in any way, shape, or form? In 2007?
It doesnt have to be novel. It just has to be patentable.
So now that they have been caught stealing the music, did they return the music to the artist they stole it from?
No?
Because they used the music without the proper permission, the artist no longer had their music anymore...
Oh hang on, what I just said makes no sense at all.
Thats because COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT IS NOT STEALING!!!
Why do people perpetuate this fucking insidious myth?
"EA is just in this for money - don't let anyone tell you otherwise."
What publicly listed company *isn't* in it purely for the money?
As a publicly listed company, their primary mission ( which they chose to accept ) and most important priority is to "increase shareholder value".
Thats it. Anything else that comes out of the business is purely a bonus.
its ALL about the money, nothing more, nothing less.
You are right, you cant buy it....well, erm, except for when I bought one and have been using it for weeks. And a few of my colleagues have bought some too.

A country that is subjugated by religious fundamentalism commits all manner of evil acts and promotes despicable bigotry and hatred.

In Soviet ... Damn, it's not funny anymore.

My main issue with the device is that they crippled the openess to include something that no one in this target group actually wants - 1080p video.
Not bad, not bad. I can see you put little effort into your troll post, but everybody loves a trier.
I particularly enjoyed your "nobody wants 1080p" attempt, but unfortunately the trollish aspect was pretty obvious, so it failed to work well.
Next time, try more subtlety in the false statement to see if you can catch anybody out, but in all, ill rate your trolling attempt a 4/10.
Better luck next time dude.
Apple is using TWO displays
Huh?! TWO displays??
Shining two beams of lights does not make "TWO displays"
And?
Since when has logic, common sense and reasoning been a mitigating factor in the granting of patents?
The patent system is just another abusive business tool used to stifle competition.
If broadband is the "microphone" then Verizon is the "microphone cable".
Its the person speaking into the "microphone" who creates the speech, not the cable carrying the signal.

But *if* they break... what then?
Let's put this to rest. Graphene is one of the strongest materials ever:

Being the strongest material does not mean it is unbreakable.
