So Google's complaint about Microsoft and your hero Apple employing anti-competitive practices in the marketplace is whining? That must be the new boiler plate mantra from Apple fanatics. instead of addressing the issue at hand we try a lame diversion about whining? Let me get this strait. So you think that if Microsoft and your hero Apples does not use dubious software patents to usurp the marketplace its "pretty fucking stupid"? Well I guess we know where you stand.
I think the real question is: "who's paying for the continual stream of anti Google stories in the tech media; why are they so desperate; and do they really think we are that stupid"
Agreed
There is also a constant stream of anti Google comments in many forums and discussion boards i visit. And they seem to follow along the same mantra "Google falis to 'indemnify' its partners" "Google is stealing others 'Intellectual Property' and using it in Android" "Google stole Android from Apple because the original Android shown on a device with a keyboard." etc. Its a familiar pattern of noise regurgitated from the usual echo chamber of paid shills. And now that Apple and MS are teaming up against Google the fanboi patrol is on high alert.
Yep Bachmann FTW. She would have never raised the debt ceiling at all. DOW would be up to $15,000+ now if only it was Bachmann in the White House. Because she would not have signed any bill to raise the debt ceiling. Oh and it was Obama that took a surplus and turned into a 10 Trillion dollar deficit. You know... the two wars he started.... The search for "weapons of mass destruction" I remember when the previous Obama administration said "There are stockpiles of weapons we know where they are" and the huge tax cut that the previous Obama administration gave to us rich people. It was Obama that wanted to raise the debt ceiling in order to pay off already racked up debt from the previous Obama administration. Yep... I agree its all Obama's fault.
The starting bid was almost 1 Billion dollars. Considerably out of range for most patent trolls. Maybe Paul Allen's Interval troll firm may be able to acquire the patents but not much else.
Are you serious? That would not help Google protect Samsung, LG, HTC, Motorola, Barnes and Noble and the myriad of people developing Android devices. I'm sure you are aware of that.
You totally miss the point. Microsoft and Apple are not suing Google. They are suing everyone that produces an Android device except Google. And Microsoft itself is suing anyone that produces a successful device with ANY Linux operating system on it. See TomTom and Buffalo. If Google co-owed the patents with Microsoft and Apple it would not stop Microsoft and Apple from going after Android phone manufacturers only Google. Microsoft and Apple would then be able to use those patents co-owned by Google to continue their litigation campaign against manufacturers such as Samsung, HTC, and others. Google would have paid a lot of money for patents that they could not use to defend their partners. Parroting the statement from Microsoft without employing critical thinking skills is silly to say the least.
Your post looks eerily familiar. I have seen similar verbiage on another site within the last day or so.
In any case I'll bite... again
This argument that Google stole Android from Apple is getting ridiculous. The link you show was Android running on only ONE of the form factors it was designed to run on and you can still get that form factor today.
The patent system was designed to encourage innovation not stop others from entering the marketplace. Just because others abused the system in an attempt to stop Apple from entering the marketplace does not mean that it is OK for Apple to abuse the system in order to stop Google from entering the marketplace. Your insinuation that patents are to abused to keep competitors out of the market is anti-competitive. See. US antitrust laws
You have to install it from an untrusted source. If you go to an android phone Application->Settings and manually enable "Allow the installation of apps from untrusted sources" Then add the untrusted source that hosts malware then you will be able to install it. In other words you have to go out of your way to get infected. You know... leave the garden of Google Marketplace. Most people that choose to exercise that choice (Which Dear Leader Steve does not allow on your iPhone) will know to be careful when adding Chinese malware sources to their Android.
Raising the debt ceiling allows you to pay off debt (in this case) that was run up by the previous administration. Has nothing to do with current or future spending.
Honda is working on a home hydrogen fuel station that connects to your water main and somehow generates hydrogen from the water mains. Not sure how that is accomplished. They say they are working on reducing the size of the equipment so that It'll fit in our garage.
This should prove interesting for those with this mutation who end up being blind. As we know the parts of the brain that loses its stimuli is basically re-purposed for another task and if there is more of this matter to be re-purposed then it should be rather interesting.
oooh noooos. Oracle acquired Ksplice? Oh well look for Oracle to sue the pants of anyone for implementing any such open source version of that feature in Linux within the next 20 years:-(
I am an EFF member. I would recommend you join us. Its cheep and you can purchase some nice hats and keychains or just donate. i have purchased a cool cap. I donate and every time i see EFF in the news I donate more. We need to talk less and do more. And we can do more by supporting EFF. Contributions are tax deductible. Also when you are signing up you there is place on where you can tell them the reason you are donating. mine? "Protect software freedom and fight for the right to run Open Source Software without patent threats. "
In the United States Of America you do not have to Jailbreak your phone in order for it to show up as an access point so that it can be tethered. I have a Dell streak and my phone is not rooted/jailbroken and I can tether with up to 8 devices at the same time.
I can install alternatives to the applications that the vendor has installed. I am not told by the phone vendor that apps that compete with them are "duplicate functionality" and therefore I don't need those apps.
All the things you want your phone to do is not all the things everyone wants their phone to do. Some people like to tether without having to pay a stupid fee for something that has been basic since feature phones. Some people like to have other options from which to install software, some people like to have the ability to use apps that compete with the apps the phone vendor has supplied without hearing a bullshit excuse about "duplicate functionlality" So your needs are not exactly everyone elses needs.

And you link to Florian's anti Google blog? How do you expect anyone to take you seriously.
Your sig says it all. And spouting fanboy talking points does not bring rational thought to the conversation.

Your post looks like something that was leaked from Apple internal documents. WOW. Such a hater.

Are you doing it for commercial purposes? Did you RTFA? There are regulations against commercial drones.
RC aircraft are also restricted to ceiling height, location of use, and size/weight

Unless it happens to us. Then its war.

I was going to get this game on steam. Unfortunately I can't buy a game with this kind of draconian drm. No Sale Ubisoft. No Sale

LOL@"get regular spinal adjustments" That is natural? Only a Chiropractor would think so. Wait......
looks like some backpedaling on the part of Mozilla. lol
With all the money Microsoft has been making from their Linux extortion campaign I'm not surprised that they are celebrating it.
