    And by tablet you mean laptop. In both cost and size.

    Mesh networks won't work worth a damn in the US.

    Maybe in the metros and suburbs, but that's only about half of the population.

  6. Re:Moves Supply on Cringley: H-1B Visa Abuse Limits Wages and Steals US Jobs · · Score: 2

    We're not talking worldwide, we're talking US centric.

    So saying H-1B doesn't change supply is nonsense.

  7. Re:Probably true ... on Cringley: H-1B Visa Abuse Limits Wages and Steals US Jobs · · Score: 4, Informative

    So are you trying to say that by bringing in 60-80k tech workers every year, that salaries will remain 'normal'?

    You don't think the H-1B program purposely puts downward pressure on salaries by adding significantly to the supply side of job candidates?

  8. Re:Here here! Well said. on Cringley: H-1B Visa Abuse Limits Wages and Steals US Jobs · · Score: 3, Insightful

    H-1Bs are used when there is pressure on employers to pay higher wages because a certain skill is in high demand

    In other words, capitalists don't like it when the negative part of capitalism applies to them.

    Can you cite where it was supposed to be an apology, and not an acknowledgement of the ruling?

    No, Apple cannot countermand a legal order by a UK High Court.

    Again, cite where it was supposed to be an apology, and not just an acknowledgement that it was ruled that Samsung did not infringe on Apple's designs.

    Can you quote where the judge says to apologize?

  11. Re:Contempt? on Apple Posts Non-Apology To Samsung · · Score: 1

    Did you even read the first sentence of the statement? It says:
    "On 9th July 2012 the High Court of Justice of England and Wales ruled that Samsung Electronic (UK) Limited’s Galaxy Tablet Computer, namely the Galaxy Tab 10.1, Tab 8.9 and Tab 7.7 do not infringe Apple’s registered design No. 0000181607-0001."

    The second sentence completes what was requested by the judge. It says:
    "A copy of the full judgment of the High court is available on the following link www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Patents/2012/1882.html."

    If that's not clear enough, then that's your fault, not Apple's.

    To be fair, I copied my own post, so copyright infringement is allowable and transferable. Unfortunately, I paid millions in lawyer fees to determine this.

  13. Re:Contempt? on Apple Posts Non-Apology To Samsung · · Score: 1

    No, the spirit of the ruling was to make sure that it was clear that Samsung didn't infringe on Apple's designs. Since that's what the court case was about, how could it be anything else?

    It was not to have Apple say 'sorry'.
    It was not to 'fix' Samsung's PR.

    The only thing I see that Apple didn't do was actually put it on their UK home page. They only put a link to the statement there.

    Wow.

    1. They're not out of context. They're entire paragraphs to give context, quoted from the legal proceedings.
    2. Apple cannot countermand any legal order. Only judges can. Since it doesn't seem like you know, it means reverse.
    3. The judge told Apple state Samsung did not infringe Apple's design, which they did. In fact, it's the first sentence.

    So, again, how is that contempt?

    And the same judge that said that Samsung's designs were not cool while Apple's designs had 'extreme simplicity'.

    Not on the front page.

    But, yes, in 14 point font.

    Not a rant against the judge. Using his own words to (re?)denigrate Samsung's designs.

    So, you're saying YOU can determine the spirit of the ruling better than the lawyers that were in the courtroom?

    Or is there the chance that he said those things, but felt he to rule the other way, and will give Apple leeway to show his words?
