Android licence fees to M$ for bogus patents,hmm, fiscal revenge is in order. Remember all android owners are paying those bullshit M$ patent fees so hmm screw M$ phone customers make them bloody pay too or cancel the bullshit android licence fees. Paying $10 to M$ for nothing, fuck you M$.
Which is why the 'er' leak and the hopes it will go viral one of the reasons for 'M$' was the launching of embedded adds in products and for snooping on customers with office apps. If they were to publicly run the adds rather than leak and hope for viral spread it would soon be pointed out to them that they launched most of what they are complaining about Google doing.
The consignment of criminal acts is dangerous. Oh tee hee a foreign agent killed some citizens, oh tee hee a foreign agent funded internal terrorists, oh tee hee foreign agent is consorting with and funding local organised crim. Perhaps a foreign agent corrupted local politicians to start a war and kill thousands of our soldiers to fulfil their goals of regional dominance, hmm, Mossad and the US government, not so fucking funny now is it. Capturing intelligence is worlds apart from inciting criminal acts like treason.
Not people, no not people, bloody psychopaths, who can not see beyond feeding their own insatiable ego and lusts. We have constructed a society around it and modern mass media in it's insanity filled with clinical narcissists celebrates. The burning down of the environmental conditions under which we evolved by people who care not one whit how many die whether 10, 100, 1000 or a million or the whole planet as long as they get theirs now. Don't just be wary of their, either eliminate their control and influence or they will eliminate all of the rest of us.
Basically what thousands of animators have done when using an actors image to create an animated character. When the animated character is computer generated this B$ patent allows M$ to sue every animation company across the globe who has down this. Note is does not include or exclude human activity in the process. This is a straight up long term grab for cash as M$'s other products die and they become more patent suit orientated.
Bullshit. They excavated the material for road fill, they knew exactly what it was and the quality of the material they would obtain and how much money they would save paying for quarried material trucked to the site. You do not just use any passing dirt for road fill because it will be impossible to compact properly and could be subject to extreme bulking when exposed to water, you do not randomly excavate hills because you do not know what they constitute and how difficult they will be to excavate.
You win the prize for civil construction ignorance as do those who thought your ignorance was informative. Even ancient Romans knew better than you http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_roads please check diagram at bottom of article.
The greedy shit head owner of the company knew exactly what they were doing and how much they would save.
The biggest reason to target those accounts is bribery. Easiest way to pay bribes is to have an off shore account and get the person receiving those bribes to open an offshore account. This enables the simple transfer of funds from one account to another. The person the spends that money whilst on overseas lavish holidays and personal items while off shore. So what funds were transferred to what account and why becomes very important in the passing of certain legislation and this is a global issue.
Gun control laws make it far easier to lock up criminals upon ancillary charges that allow a search. So you do reduce crimes buy enabling the the earlier capture and detention of those people likely to use firearms in a criminal act. Sorry but gun nut's who use the firearm for a penis substitute are just retarded. The more you reduce the presence of fire arms the less they are used in crime. The greater the penalties for offenders when caught with firearms the more you keep them off the street. The more readily you prosecute people fore fire arms offences the more readily you can get them and their weapons off the street.
Ohh look let's see how stupid the IRS can be, let's announce to all and sundry the profile that matches tax cheats and then let's see how quickly those tax cheats alter their profile. Gee's you conservative tax cheats are so funny, your childlike behaviour is really amazing but then I guess that's where it's mine, mine, mine, gimme more, more, more comes from.
Another profile of tax cheats is being a poseur, so watching sports car purchases, power boat purchases, especially purchases by companies in that all income shifting game. Then of course are those internet connections to offshore banks in tax havens, when you're monitoring all ip connections, scoping out all those money laundering banks and their customers becomes easier, don't need the actual data, just the red flag for an audit. Greedy people can't help but keep a regular eye on their money. Perhaps you can come up with some more tax cheat profile points;D.
The real reason very expensive subsidised phone market is about to collapse is that price pressures and building and much like the big screen TV price collapse the smart phone market is about to go in the same direction. Currently the parts manufacturers for smart phones are making an absurd killing and that is about ti come to an end. Things have become to competitive and the end sellers the manufactures of phones are going to push for far better deals than currently wildly overprice parts.
Now that's a load of crap. Conservatives are always complaining that investigations for terrorism are not more targeted but when it comes to taxation that's a whole other issue. Wake up stupid, when it comes to the high cost of audits who would be stupid enough to do it randomly and not do it from the richest to the poorest ie target the most income and hence the most tax income recoverable. What they should be doing is arming the IRS and allowing them to invade tax havens and investigate the tax cheats and carry off all that real pirate booty and give the majority of tax payers a tax break. Watch the pseudo loyal conservative tax cheats moan and cry then.
Technically M$ is not infringing copyright from Google, Google is mostly just hosting the content and providing an avenue by which people who upload that content can generate and add per view based revenue. So M$ is denying the opportunity for millions of it's potential customers to generate a revenue. So all Google needs to do is remind all those creative types that M$ is actively stealing their add revenue and leave it pretty much up to them to seek revenge in what ever way they choose, least of which will be avoiding all M$ products and getting everyone they know to avoid M$ products.
Profit based dammit. I expect a government department like the IRS to focus it's efforts directly where it will generate the greatest revenue. Now that's strict conservative thinking. I am not one, at least not in the current wildly distorted political sense (which more accurately is an exploiter) but I do know conservatives and the extents to which they will go to avoid paying taxes both legal and illegal is mind boggling and point of fact exactly zero of them do not follow that pattern. Typically small business people, they will also cheat on copyright and patents.
So IRS focusing in on conservatives when the conservatives are cutting the budget of the IRS and demanding they do more with the money they are provided ie generate more fucking revenue, it is only sensible and logical they pursue tea baggers as suspects number 1 when it comes to cheating on taxes.
Of course it is hardly surprising those tax cheats started whining when they created the conditions, in fact demanded them, that brought the focus back on their own activities. Oh my greed driven stupidity, it's just so comical.
Chromebook was a misstep and should really have been Android aimed at the desktop. Google reached to far, in the wrong direction and failed. The real question now is how quickly and effectively will the change course.
Gamers change of time as they age however the idea is an MMOG is meant to pick up new gamers to replace the old gamers and thus maintain the same subscriber number overall. In this case it is clear WOW is not picking up enough new gamers to replace gamers who a living to do other things. Likely WOW is losing to those games that offer a better free to play or non subscriber fee gaming experience.
Then of course it would have failed in it's number one goal, force the idiot sheep to become accustomed to the windows phones interface and just like brain sapped morons they would then buy windows phones, Uncle Fester thinking. Of course just as you would expect from Uncle Fester thinking the crazy idea was a massive failure, after all people bought the iPhone when it was utterly different to windows XP. Different interfaces for completely different tasks but not in Uncle Fester's twisted boozed up world, two fisted whisky drinker indeed.
They are called property titles. Did they exist abso-fucking-lutely and there is not place on this planet that anyone can say they own their own home and prevent someone from simply moving in and taking over with out some form of property. So ESAD with your pathetic lies and propaganda and somehow trying to twist religious or nationalistic 'ownership' as taking precedence of straight up normal recognised personal property ownership. In point of fact the cheating Israeli government passed laws to seize unoccupied legally titled houses (they had to pass laws because yes there were legal records of title of ownership) those properties being unoccupied because they were driven from their homes and the country and forbidden from returning. Really you lying deceiving propagandist why else where those racist and prejudiced laws passed about seizure of unoccupied properties unless there was an outstanding recording title of ownership.
Sorry asshat but the rules are in our times. Not some bullshit date thousands of years because it favours your personal desires today. Pretty blow that religious bullshit out of your ass before ever contemplating using it to kill people or justify theft of their property. It has always been bullshit and will always be bullshit. Whether it was missionaries to the Americas, Salem witch trials, the inquisition, the crusades, the Mughals in India etc. etc. etc. It has always been exactly the same bullshit, a handful of psychopaths at the top hiding behind religion to feed their own personal ego and lusts whilst driving on the ignorant religious masses to fight and die for them.
Palestinian people legally owned most of the land in Israel. A bunch of Palestinian jews together with illegal immigrants initiated a terrorist war to steal those properties and expended the Israeli state from their. The US propped it up because the surrounding Arabic states where leaning towards the Soviet Union. You could bet if the US politicians at the time had known what a huge corrupt pain in the ass the Israeli government and the Mosad would become they would never have done so.
The rich and connected being the, run away, run away, run away, crowd who always expect other people to do their fighting for them whilst they cheer on the conflict at a safe distance. From poopy pants Nugent to Bush the pretend pilot, to Romney the missionary to France, let's be honest arming them is really rather pointless and just for show, other than shooting house servants if they could get away with it.
Whether the weapon is printed, made in a machine shop or bought, makes no difference, when it is illegal and you get caught with it you will be prosecuted and either fined or imprisoned or both. Making weapons illegal does not make them disappear until people are caught with them, which inevitably happens over time given the nature of the people who have an urge to amass illegal weapons.
Very often what it does mean, is those disturbed individuals often get caught for more petty crimes and further investigation reveals the hoard of weapons which are then destroyed and the person who is a threat to society, isolated from society so as to remove the threat. Believe it or not that does makes a huge difference in threat.
Spend a bit more and go the simpler route of radio detection finding equipment. Drones are really quite radio chatty and sourcing a radio emission from altitude (video feed so the remote operator can see where they are going) tend to give them away.
The easy answer for this is capitalistic greed currently defines this world. Why did a billionaire get home arrest for sexually abusing under age girls in the mansion where the abuse occurred? Why is it OK for a President to blow children to bits with drone fired missiles, why did a gunship crew get away with shooting up children and why do Israeli snipers get away with targeting children. Now that's just for a start. No fiction actual brutal reality.
Back to that law, governments can bullshit legislate computers in other countries all they want that does not make it legal and it will still cause enormous strife when it comes to extradition treaties.
The Firefox brand has a perceived value, a value of identifying that product with that brand. It doesn't have to sell anything, it just has to have a 'goodwill' value associated with an identifiable brand. The fraudulent use of the brand, damages the goodwill associated with Firefox and enables a civil suit to be filed to protect and establish not just damages but punitive damages. As the abuse is particular egregious and threatens the perception of security of the products punitive damages could be quite high as a multiple of goodwill damage.
Thorsten's view is obviously from a business or work based applications use, which is highly likely as regards the bulk of tablets. However as the price drops for tablets their real target market becomes far more accessible, a toy, content consumption and a remote control. In fact tablet computers are becoming very popular children's toys.
