This is an AMAZING invention! The world of science will be thrilled! Truly a giant leap for mankind! This was EXACTLY the progress in useful arts and science which the forefathers intended when they wrote the constitution!
Seriously, is the USPTO smoking crack? If not, the only explanation is that the USPTO is a corrupt institution.
If the Iranian people are so developed, then why does their government feel the need to use cruel methods of popular oppression? Apparently their leaders do not trust the civilians enough to give them the responsibility of a free will. And if there is no free will, no way to think out of the box, the best you can achieve is being a great imitator. 10 million university grades does not imply anything either since that is only 10% of the population. Half of them in religious studies? And considering the average age is 26 (woohoo great healthcare and planning!) that means that 9 in 10 youths did not get higher education. This all is mirrored in the current-day Iran. They may be be able to apply Western/Asian science but no original technology or invention has come from Iran since at least the last millennium. Knowledge does not imply wisdom. The rebellious stance on nukes and international affairs of Iran remind me of the Wizard's Apprentice movie.
And Android device makers are going to make tens of dollars on each unit while Apple makes hundreds.
I love how you tout an extremely high profit margin as a desirable feature!
It's about the software and the user experience, and at the moment Android devices are just not there yet (well, they are there, but "there" is basically 1995), and the market is way too fragmented without sufficient standardization, and google is not driving things in the correct direction with Android at this point (IMHO).
Someone hasn't been in a non-apple store since 1995, it seems.. The Galaxy S II outshines the iPhone at almost every angle. Same goes for the other Samsung phones and tablets (eg the galaxy nexus or tab series), and in a lesser degree for HTC and LG as they are offering very nice phones for half what Apple's asking. Apparently, price is a very important factor for a consumer when choosing a phone.
Google needs to stop assuming they know everything and step back and look at what makes iOS successful, and it's *not* nerdy technical innovation every few months that's incompatible with the previous version. They need to build and own a long-term infrastructure ecosystem that's based on the user experience if they ever want to have a chance at competing with Apple. Currently Google lacks the ability to stick to something for more than a year at a time, and their interests do not actually seem to be driven by end-user happiness. I predict a year of unfulfilled Android tablet promises.
Google doesn't need to do jackshit and they are already winning the lion's share of the market. Let's see in 12 months, shall we? I predict Apple shares to be under 250, unless there is massive inflation on the USD.
Obvious troll is obvious.. - tablet OSs are NOT simpler to learn. They just have less features. - People have not switched to console gaming for the reason you give. In fact, the market for PC gaming is bigger than ever. - you can run emulators etc etc etc
You must be a happy camper now that all coffee mugs have "Warning hot!" written on them. I cannot believe mankind survived so long without these warnings, they are essential to our existance.
And thanks to this logic, consumers all over the world are now regarded as little children. Warnings are placed everywhere. You are not allowed any initiative anymore, all in fear of a lawsuit. So much money going to waste. And all that because some prick wanted to extort McDonalds.
There's a difference between being self-employed and running an business in this regard. Self employed people tend to be most profitable during the first five years.

OSHA App Costs Gov't $200k

No. A regular team will set you back around $100k a month: 7 people ($100/hr) just cost 5K daily. That gives you 2 developers, one system engineer, one designer, two testers and one project manager. Two sprints and you've spent the budget.
Well, maybe if we wouldn't live on this planet with 7 billion people in the first place then all this climate mumbo jumbo wouldn't matter as much. But hey, it's so much better to limit us all than keep the population in check!
This could be used to help people by detecting early signs of cancer or vascular related syndromes, but instead it's used to lock up people in the war on drugs, since that's where the money comes from. Assuming that 'drugs' in TFA refers to illegal substances, not specific medicines.
I love how you're bringing an absurd premium price as a feature. "look, that butcher is making three times the profit on his meat as the other butcher! I am SO going to buy all my meat there from now on!"
Woosh. I really really would like to be able to be at work and tell my phone "Call aunt Beth". That is definitely worth shelling out a grand for a new phone! So impressive! Or while standing in the elevator with all my colleagues, tell my phone a randy story to send as SMS. Just like voice commands have been available for the desktop for years, and nobody uses it. Really, can someone convince me that Siri is NOT an overvalued piece of software? I would like to see usage statistics, my gut feeling says it will be used by less than 5% on a regular basis. The only place where voice commands are useful is in a car - and my car does that natively with any Bluetooth phone.
Easy. For years Apple projected the image with claims that MS is evil, copycat, blocking creativity and Apple is not. Check the "I'm a Mac" campaign for examples. Pot and kettle, having the cake and eating it, etc. Check the 1984 ad. Apple has become its own antagonist.
push their new connector as an "industry standard": check demand licensing fees: check make sure there was a layer of encryption somewhere: true make sure it is extremely hard to have two devices connected without at least one running Apple software: check
I love how you brush that off. Instead of saying "Hey, I'm wrong" you're going all "Hey nobody needs that, who cares, it's all fud, haters. Sheesh" etc.
AFAIK, this is the first device I've ever seen doing this.
I have a door in my bathroom which works exactly like the described 'invention'. If you read the Jobs biography, it becomes clear just how delusional the man was. He claims to have invented not only the GUI, menu's, and the modern mouse but also the concept of a PC, the internet, the rectangle, fonts, and what more. If he had not existed, noone would have invented it. Looks like he dropped acid too many times.

You've been to too many Apple stores. The premium which you pay for Apple products is not invested in R&D but parked on its bank account.

I think it means another 20 years of patent wars. And after 20 years, companies can finally deploy these cells.
That's EXACTLY what I was thinking. Like a Trojan horse, the Iranians are parading the thing around all their secret facilities.
You can always choose not to offer your downloads through download.com.

What about DNS? Won't the TLD providers be required to shut down all of .ir for example?

how nice of you to project this onto MS.

Try getting music, apps or whatever on that iPod without using iTunes. Oh wait .. Spin your anti-FUD elsewhere.
"any other IP or internet address operators of the Newzbin2 site might look to use to continue to offer "
I'd say that covers the full 0.0.0.0/32 block. therefore, BT must terminate its ISP business.
