Not when Apple claims they have patents which define their product which they won't license to anyone. They also claim any patents their competitors may have are just patents used to implement standards and must be licensed at a RAND cost. Guess what there is more than one way to implement a standard as well.
The iPad can use SD cards? Not without an adapter which needs to be purchased separately... Then even if you do buy it, it does not behave like removable storage. It's supposed to be for video and photo backup.
You are wrong. Samsung is offering a lower price on some products because they want to grow market share. But they have cellphone models as expensive as Apple and with more features than the Apple models. You just have to look at the Samsung Galaxy Note to see this.
I have heard that before. A couple of years back I had a discussion with an Apple fanboy who though Android would never get significant share because, in his words, they had like 2 years to grow share and growth was slow. Guess what it happened like I said Android has more share now. I have little doubt the same will happen with tablets. Why? It is pretty simple one size and one expensive price does not fit all.
They use in situ leeching with cyanide to mine gold. For some reason people do not seem to be nearly as obsessed with gold mining tailings compared with uranium tailings despite it being as much of a problem. Who cares about the radioactivity if the cyanide alone has a much higher chance of killing you?
I doubt implants will be common. While it is common to brand cattle you do not see people getting branded even in more autocratic or totalitarian regimes. Same thing applies to these sorts of implants.
Brazil has high income disparity. They manufacture airplanes (Embraer) but a lot of people live in slums next to the rich people's fenced mansions with high security guards who have to leave their houses in bullet proof cars.
I guess patronage offends his "artistic" sense. Oh the agony of producing something the patron actually wants instead of your dream and vision! He prefers to hope to win the big ticket, get wildly famous, then get a fabulous megabucks deal and rub shoulders with Bono. He has less chances of that working than winning the lottery. But hey to each his own.
Actually it wasn't just desk jockeys. There was a lot of work done to produce a so called intermediate round. The advantage besides being able to carry more bullets with the same load are lower recoil which leads to the weapon being easier to control in auto fire. The first assault rifle, the Kurz developed during WWII, had an intermediate round. The British developed a.280 round to replace the old.303 but the US was opposed to using the round which led to the use of 7.62 NATO which turned out to be overpowered for most uses. To make matters worse the US later introduced 5.56 NATO which is even smaller than the.280 round which is a 7 mm round. Presently there are effort to develop new calibers in light of what happened in the war in Iraq and Afghanistan where the 5.56 NATO has proved to be inadequate and most of the proposed calibers are 6 mm or higher.
Next time NASA should use a tether. That would likely have saved the vehicle. It seemed like a GNC failure to me. The engine worked fine since the vehicle was propelled upwards, but then it tilted to the right. It could also have tilted because the propellant was sloshing around in the tanks or something like that.
FWIW the first time I used Vim (or Emacs for that matter) I found them to have needlessly cumbersome interfaces. The only Vim and Emacs commands I memorized were how to exit the editor (:q!, ^X^C) in case I got into either by mistake. I was used to programming with Cygnus Ed on the Amiga. After using a lot of simpler text editors like Joe or Nano in the console or NEdit in X for over a decade I eventually decided I had to learn either Vim or Emacs. Vim actually seemed to fit my style better since it started up more quickly and was nearly ubiquitous. I learned Vim by forcing myself to use it for writing a simple application in a weekend. While it takes some effort to learn the keyboard commands once you do learn them it is much more efficient to use than any other editor unless you are using one of those languages where you need to generate a lot of boilerplate code like Java in which case you are better off with an IDE like Eclipse or Netbeans if you have them around.
They use Vim and Emacs of course. Some may use IDEs like Eclipse depending on their choice of programming language, etc. There are easier to use graphical text editors like gedit or kate or even the old NEdit if you want to use those. A lack of text editors in an operating system made by programmers for programmers? Surely you jest.
Major cities in developed countries? There are plenty of people with DSL in rural areas in Europe. Which isn't even the place with greatest broadband penetration that would be South Korea or Japan.
The OSHWA only needs to change that logo. Trademarks are supposed to uniquely identify something. If you do not defend your trademark proactively you may find out you lost the right to use it. Their rant against using OSI licenses, if real, is nonsense of the worst kind. OSI stores a bunch of licenses someone else conceived which they perceive as having the right kind of attributes according to their charter. You are not hurting OSI in any way by not using the licenses.
The first line does not dismiss what you said afterwards. The web browser core is open source, not developed by Apple, everyone could use it and lots of people did. Android uses it. WebOS uses it. Samsung did not use a better browser because there were hardware limitations in that particular cellphone. The Samsung F700 had no WiFi support and was 2G so having a bandwidth consuming web browser was not a good fit for the product even it they spent the resources to integrate one in their product. This is why earlier cellphones with low resolution screens and 2G only had WAP browsers. Samsung had PocketPC mobile phones with WiFi support which had better browsers. My point is that the products were already converging in that direction and contrary to what you think Apple being absent would not stop such products from appearing in the market. Once you have a capacitive touchscreen, like the K850 LG Prada, it makes sense to drop the sliding portion of the cellphone since you no longer have a pressing need for a physical keyboard. If you have a high bandwidth connection a richer web browser becomes viable. Apple did not solve the problem of touchscreen cellphones being expensive. If it wasn't for the cellphone operators hiding the purchase price from the consumer with their pricing plans you would see that if anything Apple only made them more expensive.

"Illegal" yeah. During the Prohibition it was illegal to sell, buy, and consume alcohol as well. It also used to be "legal" to buy slaves.
What is legal and what is right isn't necessarily the same thing. The legal system is not in lockstep with reason.

Typical Apple masochist.
Stuck in a queue waiting for product like you were in a bread line at the Soviet Union? Clearly a sign that Apple is great.
Getting gouged by Apple overcharging for their products? Clearly a sign that Apple is great.
Try looking at the results on a quarterly basis. Two years ago the market was a lot different.
You are deluded if you think the costs of this lawsuit will not end up being paid by the consumer.

A 3G or 4G chipset doesn't cost $200. It is just the usual Apple price gouging. I doubt the operators actually pay $600 per phone.

Yeah and Apple agreed they wouldn't use their trademark for distributing music. Then they opened up the iTunes music store.

You can put the tailings back into the mine they came from. The level of radioactivity is the same.
That is low level or intermediate level radioactive waste. The storage requirements are not the same as for spent fuel rods.

I cannot find flashenabled's trademark at the USPTO website. I can find OSI's though.
If their logo is registered with the USPTO, predates OSI's trademark submission, and they still pay for the trademark to be active they can sue OSI.
