    How is Apple crying if it's Samsung saying this?

    Oh, right. Apple hater. Nevermind.

  3. Re:Patent disputes on Samsung Terminates LCD Contract With Apple · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It's not that simple.

    Apple has been moving away from relying on Samsung for parts, for over a year now.

    At some point, one of them was going to cut the ties. The patent lawsuit that turned them from frenemies to just plain enemies was probably that point. And after the outcome, Samsung probably wanted to hurt Apple.

    But Apple has been preparing that exit for quite a while now. So it's not too great a hurt.

    IP addresses are tied to locations

    I know you probably think this, but it's not actually true.

    If you have a Comcast cable modem at home, it's possible that you get an IP address that is *associated* with their gateway location in Texas.

    This is the actual point of the program.

    Storage.

    You can store wind, solar, hydroelectric power almost indefinitely by putting the energy into hydrocarbons. Certainly orders of magnitude longer than batteries can hold the same amount of power.

    They check it before you're ever asked to come in. It's a filter criteria, just like your school, previous experience & salary.

    Exactly.

    The GPA/schooling reflect in the choice of candidates and what the salary is.

    If I come from Carneige Mellon with a 3.97 GPA, I won't be considered for a $40k job. Because they know I'd demand a lot more than that.
    Similarly, if I come from local community college with a 2.74 GPA, I won't be considered for the $125k job. Because my schooling reflects that I couldn't handle the demands of it. True or not, that's how it looks from the company side.

    I assure you that neither of those things has EVER come up in a job interview.
