You can throw away the receipt after three months if you only want three months of warranty. The majority of the EU has decided that it doesn't want corporations to bother their citizens with cheap throw-away junk electronics. Instead, durable and valuable products should be offered. If you really want to own that 5$ mp3 player which breaks after a few weeks, you are free to order them online from China. And as an adult, you should be mature enough to realize why these consumer protection laws are for the better good. Not everyone is so resilient to being screwed over. Many Europeans would find your point of view self-centered. But, good troll.
What a load. The OP is talking about online prices. Open the Apple store and EU products are 30% more expensive. Don't tell me that the shipping in the EU is 30% of the retail price because shipping is charged separately. Apple has mandatory prices for the iDevices. Also, the historical center argument is void as well, because by your reasoning all US products would be far more expensive in the EU. Guess what. Prices are quite equal. Then your other argument is also untrue. People cost about the same but a higher percentage of gross income per capita is spent on 'commie hobbies' like public healthcare, retirement and schooling, where in the US this is spent on credit card loans, a 3rd car or insane amounts of unhealthy food.
You have a point there sir! Though I disagree about calling Win 2000 bad, here's the list in my opinion
Windows 3.1 Tock Windows 3.11 Tick Windows 95 Tock Windows 98 Tick Windows ME Tock Windows XP Tick Windows NT tock Windows 2000 Tick Windows Vista Tock Windows 7 Tick Windows 8 Tock
In this regard (free speech being regulated by schools, universities, employers, etc) the US is starting to look a lot like former Eastern Germany. I mean, like in this movie http://imdb.to/2fC1aE I find it really hard to understand how the US justifies this spying on each other's thoughts.
So, according TFS, Google has applied for a patent on.. wait.. Organizing contacts by applying scores to certain properties.. but now with a computer! Amazing that patents on processes and algorithms are still taken into consideration.
A license is the same as renting for an undetermined period - until the licencor decides to end 'support'. Most software for which I obtained a license doesn't work anymore. I think if the courts should have the same opinion, that there wouldn't be such a copyright mess.
"the OS that won't boot on a tablet with the "right" hardware (that prevents other OS-es as a "happy" side effect)" I take it you are talking about OSX/iOS?
Does it matter? These hunters unloaded their guns in a public space directed towards a highway. Their gun permits should be revoked, the sherriff should be investigated for abuse of power and an independent party should be called in to investigate the incident. It looks too much like the plot of a bad Adam Sandler movie.
Malaysia was responding to an Interpol warrant. The real question is why Interpol cooperates in prosecuting thought crimes. Some heads are going to roll, and not just that of the arrested journalist..
google asks the court to decide wether: - files (eg mp3) are material objects which can be resold etc or: - files are not material and therefore the laws regarding those are invalid.
Since when is clickjacking a serious crime? Clicking on a mouse? For real? Lucky that there are no real problems for law enforcement to address. Oh wait..
All nice anecdotes, but not a single shred of proof that this is man-made and caused by CO2. Even worse, no proof either that curbing CO2 emissions will reverse this process.
The day will come where consumers get iTired and ditch their iPhones en masse, that is just textbook mass psychology. I presume that this is what MS has been waiting for with their tardy WP7 rollout.

Well, that explains. Thanks for clearing that up.

This is pure gold!

are you sure they're not expanding their legal department?

I sooo wish I had mod points ... +1 informative to you sir

Can't wait to see people on the street wearing and using this, it will be too funny seeing them making gestures and talking to their goggles.

Apple doesn't build devices for businesses, but for consumers. Therefore Apple doesn't care about employee effectivity.

I don't think that when storing such absurd amounts of data as high speed, you're interested in possible fragmentation.
It's a case of pot meets kettle.

- files (eg mp3) are material objects which can be resold etc or:
- files are not material and therefore the laws regarding those are invalid.
You must mean Apple itself.

If GW is man-made, there's only one sustainable solution: lose 80% of the human population. Now there's an inconvenient truth!
Climate change is not disputed. The idea that we can control it by changing our CO2 emissions is. L2r.
