So lets see... Indiegogo (because kickstarter doesn't allow vapourware projects) check! Flexible funding (so they can just runoff with whatever money people give without ever delivering anything) check! Zero actual photographs of anything real (and lots of impractical looking CG images) check!
but it is a scary precedent to get rid of people based on their personal beliefs and political activities.
What about being forced to resign because of a massive public petition against them? He was never fired for donating to prop 8, he resigned because of public pressure for him to resign...
Here's your prior art. Seriously, taking a common real world design and making something on a touch-screen that looks like it should never be patentable. It would be like patenting an on-screen control that looks like a dial or an on-screen meter that looks like a galvanometer.
That's a design patent though, which means it should only cover a device that has the same sized curved corners with the same straight thick bevelled edge and curved back
How about we start by making UTC a thing? Seriously last summer there was an online live stream advertised in PST and GMT. This is while the UK was on BST. So, did they mean UK local time (BST) or GMT (which is one hour behind)?
Most smartphones can last as long as an old Nokia, just turn mobile data / wifi off and don't use much screen time. Seriously without it constantly downloading emails in the background they last for ever.
You have to admit tho, even if that multimeter was yellow it would still be more different to the Fluke meter than the Sparkfun meters are. Of course if it were up to me I'd give the Sparkfun meters a pass, but the design is still much closer than it needs to be.
Not just the yellow, but the entire design is a bit close for comfort to this Fluke model, it's probably not just the yellow but the combination of shape and control placement with a yellow outline and grey front.
Should a company really be able to patent taking a well known physical object and replicating it on a phone's screen? It would be like granting a patent for an on-screen button that looks like a switch or a push-button, a volume meter that looks like a galvanometer, or a power meter that looks like a battery etc.
I'd imagine it would be easier to have large power storage facilities at the receiving stations on Earth than to set up the long-range energy transmission system required to pipe all the electricity from the moon-facing side of Earth to the other side anyway.
I don't think Mr Newell has anything to do with Battle.net so I'm not sure what you're complaining to him about it for. Have any examples of false positives in VAC games?
Out of interest, what legacy apps are you so desperate to run on your phone? Up until a few years ago it wouldn't have even been feasible to run an x86 emulator fast enough to emulate anything newer than Win95, and even now I can't imagine what you'd want to run on a slow CPU emulator that there aren't already plenty of good native alternatives for. Well, maybe on an Intel based Android phone it might work ok.
On the other hand I can already access my full PC remotely on my phone via Vnc...
Nonsense. If you're browsing the web and following a bunch of links, you would have to long press the link to copy it, long press to paste it in the url bar, edit the url to add the S (this is mobile, so moving the cursor directly between the "p" and the ":" is non-trivial), and hit enter... for every link you follow.
And don't forget the waiting for it to fail and changing it back to HTTP:// when you get a server that doesn't have https.
Does anyone have any more info on what they're actually doing with these? Because it makes absolutely no sense to me. The Kinect's depth sensor has a maximum range of 6 meters, after that it's no better than a VGA webcam, and I'm pretty sure the things they'll want to identify are more than 6m away...
I'm surprised they're doing in-band signalling with out a band-pass filter, tho I guess maybe they don't count the GPS telemetry as sensitive or they want it archived with the video stream.
But what the original AC stated is also technically correct:
Syed Hussain had already been jailed for his part in a cell that had discussed an attack on a Territorial Army base in Luton using a bomb attached to a remote control car.
So Syed Hussain was convicted of terrorism as well as being involved in said fraud.

They missed a trick tho, they could have had a few of these under the Other OS's title :)

The iOS slide to unlock is not a physical counterpart for anything
I beg to differ

Yet we managed to go to the moon on an economy not based on living the brand lifestyles.

Well, given the recent Nexus phones have been by LG with Qualcomm modems, I'm pretty sure they're free of this Samsung/Infineon modem firmware.
Of course what security issues the LG/Qualcomm firmware do contain are anyone's guess.

Given that even the transponder stopped responding, I suspect this device would have also stopped transmitting at the same time...

Why DC?
2.3? Your statistics are very out of date, 2.3 now only accounts for 20% of users, with 4.0 - 4.2 making up 68% of Android users.

Don't worry, all the DNS names were MD5 hashed, so Gabe will only know you visited b80747491a0922eeaf0d800983ddc886 :)

We've been asking for this from MS for EVER
They just can't win can they?
Everyone: We want the same apps on our phone and tablet as on our desktop!
MS: Ok, with Windows 8 we'll created a unified UI and Dev experience so the same app can be released on all 3 platforms! Neat huh?
Everyone: We don't want our PC to be like a phone, we hate Windows 8!
