LOL how idiotic. What public relations firm are you representing? Do you write code? Is google actively seeking to destroy your ability to write sucessful system code with the use of software-patents like Apple and Microsoft are doing? Even though the code you write is totally different from any code they have or have used in any products they produce? Is Google launching "Thermonuclear" lawsuits against their competitors? Is google running a software-patent extortion scheme in order to hobble open-source and free software ala Microsoft? Please elaborate on how google is exploiting information about me to the fullest extent?
as well they should. They nor Apple can guarantee the quality of aftermarket parts or jailbroken os. in the case of apple if you go replacing parts of the OS or phone then they can't gurantee the quality of such replacements.
B&N warned that this attack from Nokia and MOSAID was coming. B&N said this was conspired with Microsoft. Microsoft's Steven Elop (Nokia CEO) is doing his former company's bidding. Now we see what B&N warned about mestastisizing. brace yourselves. The days of writing your own code and having it become successfull without paying a patent license fee for your OWN code is coming to an end. Thanks particularly to MS and their partners oh and Apple. And of course the geeks will sit back and take it lying down. I for one has influenced a few hundred people away from Microsoft and Apple products. Will continue that push along with more donations to the EFF.
The correct analogy is Ford and Chevy blocking you from using aftermarket compatible parts that were not purchased at the dealer. They don't do that. Apple on the other hand.......
Another analogy would be ford and chevy forcing you to only purchase gas from the dealer.
No one is trying to install incompatible android apps on apple platform as your analogy suggests. What they are trying to do is install aftermarket compatible apps on the apple platform that does not come from the Apple dealer. get it?
My changes were in the interest of accuracy. Your analogy was skewed. As you know Moto Samsung are only suing the people that either 1. sued them first or 2. threatend to sue them. They are not suing everybody and world + dog. they are suing the people who are hell bent on "Thermonuclear" software patent war... You know the people who lauched this war by threating to sue Nokia/Moto who then replied premptively and Samsung and HTC who told them to go away.
in the case of FRAND sure the FRAND IP holder can sue. FRAND does not mean they cannot sue. If the owner of the FRAND IP is asking for compensation on similar terms as others that are paying then they sure can sue willful violators. The problem is Apple refusing to pay what the FRAND IP holders say others are paying. And in this case the wilful violator of the FRAND IP is Apple. They are wilfully violating the patent and refusing to pay what the IP holder is asking so the IP holder can sue.
This basically describes what Apple does in a nutshell. Shamelessly copy other people's R&D. Polish it a bit then commercialize it and call it their invention then sue others for being inspired by the products they release in the marketplace. Apple is true scum of the earth. The enbodyment of hipocrisy.
Reforming the patent system will take years. A boycott of Apple products needs to start now.
Phillip.
Exactly correct. I will definitely let everyone of my customers know not to purchase any more Apple products and will be there to help everyone I know with Apple products migrate away from their products. When this is brought to the attention of reasonable people it puts a very bad taste in their mouths. People don't like their choices in the marketplace reduced by such sleazy tactics and I will let them know just how sleasy Apple is.
False equivalence much? Apple started this whole thing by treatening to sue and suing other mobile manufacturers. Microsoft jumped in right after they saw what Apple was doing. They threatened to sue Nokia. Nokia took the threat seriously and sued first.. They threatened to sue Motorola. Motorola took the threat seriously and sued first. They threatened HTC and Samnsung. HTC and Samsung told them to go away and so Apple sued them. Look Apple started this. Everyone knows this. Blaming other companies for not rolling over simply trying to defend them selves when Apple is the clear agressor here is either an excercise in whitewashing this hole issue or an attempt to spread blame. Both totally ridiculous.
Imagine if someone said that they will not sue FOSS software (and users) over their patents that (may or may not be) are included in some FOSS S/W.
Then Redhat starts suing them for patent infringement and the patent owner goes back on their commitment not to sue and countersues Redhat only
There fixed that for you. You failed to use the correct analogy either you did so disingenuosly or out of ignorance on the matter.
It could also be possible that if you jam the encrypted military signals the drone may fallback to civilian unencrypted signal recognition in an attempt to return to base then you spoof unencrypted signal and voila. Drone lands.
Interestingly, crime rates in across the United States have been declining steadily for the past three years, and gun sales across the states have been up significantly too. It's possible that the fear of different forms of punishment (getting shot, going to hell, jail, execution, etc) influences the crime rates.
Hmmm this can also be read as.... In the 3 years that Obama came to office crime rates have been on the decline. Since Obama came to office personal gun ownership has seen record rates. Looks like Obama is the most pro-gun anti-crime president the US has seen in decades.
A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.
seems to me that this had nothing to do with hunting or personal protection.. Its for the "security of a free state" just saying. A well regulated militia? Also it says arms not just hunting rifles and pistols. Seems to me that I should be able to own a fully armed F16 if I could afford it and that right should not be infringed.
I got rid of my teflon cookware after my mom killed her two completely different birds in the space of 10 minutes with teflon fumes at her house. I know the fumes kills birds I don't know what they do to my lungs or body long term and don't want to find out.
My post was not about restricting research. it was about putting PATENT transgenic species in the wild that can contaminate conventional and organic crops thereby. allowing the massive corporations to come in and sue for patenet infringment when their crop contaminates others. In other words keep the damn think in a sealed building/greenhouse or whatever you want just don't let it contaminate and take over therby yeilding lawsuits on small farmers as from an overly litigious company.
If you are genitically modifying crops they MUST be kept isoated from nature and ensure that they cannot contaminate conventional or organic farms with patented gene. Sealed greenhouse whatever. IF you can accomplish that then carry on and label your product as such.
Why bother sitting down at your computer and writing any code? Even if your code is wholly original they still have a right to take ownership of your code through the use of trivial and obvious software patents? So if you write your own code that renders text before images and its completely your code from your brain. And its totally different from any code that MS wrote you are saying that Microsoft should be able come and take ownership of your code? The pathetic people that cheer for this kind of abuse in the marketplace do so against their own interests. pathetic.
So Google goes around filing suits on trivial software patents that should have never been filed and should have never been granted? Can you point me to one instance of Google conspiring with others to subdue the marketpace and kill open source software with the use of software patents? One instance? BTW what public relations firm to you work for?
Sorry! but WINE is _not_ safe. There is still a thing called software patents. And I am sure Microsoft is not shy when it comes to levereging them against WINE or any open source system sofware sold in _any_ successful device. The key here is successful comercial device such as android devices or a Linux NASs, Servers, Chromebooks, or even Linux Desktops that actually gain reasonable market share.
This is the most alarmist rubbish i've seen on Slashdot today. LOL@ governmet taking over your health care. Yeah death panels and all lol. If you are referencing the Affordabe Healthcare Act then that is not free health care you have to pay. The emergency room freeloaders will now have to pay their way rather than me paying for their healthcare. I think i like it that they are forced to pay for their own healthcare thank you very much.

Yes much like Apple harvesting data for its iAD program. But it's OK if Apple does it right?

+1 This IS the comparison. This from the same designers of SS1/SS2 but this is for orbital launches not suborbital. SS2 is sub-orbital.

Sparticus is an anti-google troll. Possibly working some PR firm on behalf of Microsoft.
