I thought Apple never did wrong because every pundit was detailing its so called, "attention to detail...". So what happened?
One did not need elementary school education to realise that its maps iteration was not just crazy, but it was just bizzare, showed incompetence and was taken as a reckless joke by many of us.
1: Make one or two really good smartphones per year one of which should be of the "prime quality" status.
2: Do not ever lock up the boot loader. In fact make it easy for geeks to do whatever they want with the device.
3: Get rid of the so called MotoBlur or make it an option.
4: Make the phone a real beauty to look at. It should capture one's attention out of the box, i.e. by default. Google for some mock-up images. There are plenty.
5: Make it rugged that a small fall still leaves it working.
6: Make it easy for users to return defective devices, do not let the media define your product unless their definition is in your favor.
Samsung was attempting to introduce evidence well past discovery. In other words, they were trying to "ambush" Apple. The honorable Judge wouldn't have any of such tricks.
There are rules to follow in court proceedings. Samsung clearly did not. We saw this kind of behavior with SCO vs Novell and Oracle v. Google. It didn't work then and neither will it this time.
You got that from my head! You nailed it! The debate is dumb. Just look at the numbers...Samsung sold millions of the Galaxy Note in a few months.
And guess what: I am waiting for the next version. I spend little of my time making calls. To me, what matters is that big screen and I have come to love it.
I say this because in this vast country, major break throughs in the tech world have a hand in Russia. I would label Russia as fertile waters to fish for good, competent hacker talent.
It's incredible that expert Mueller still puts a positive spin on the case...from predicting "triple damages" to Oracle, to what he termed as the "smoking gun Lindholm email", to the general disdain of anything not sanctioned by his cronies.
When one visits his blog, you cannot fail to see the little coverage he accords news unfavorable to those who bankroll him.
"A judge in New Zealand has ordered the U.S. government to hand over evidence seized in the Megaupload raid so Kim Dotcom and his co-defendants can use it to prepare a defense for an extradition hearing..."(bold/italics mine)
Usually, it is the US that orders other jurisdictions to hand over stuff...not the other way round! This leads me to one conclusion:
It will not work! This request is DoA! Moot...name it!
Who are they hoodwinking? Just recently, a US judge ruled that you cannot identify a "pirate" using an IP address. They appear to be preparing to flog a dead horse, right?
First, the EU begins their second assertion by not being sure. Are they serious? Emphasis is mine:
Our second concern relates to the way Google copies content from competing vertical search services and uses it in its own offerings. Google may be copying original material from the websites of its competitors such as user reviews and using that material on its own sites without their prior authorisation.
Then they base their next point on this unsubstantiated assertion...again, bold is mine.
In this way they are appropriating the benefits of the investments of competitors.
To make matters worse, they conflate the two issues to emphasize another point, this time focusing on the possibility. Again, emphasis mine.
We are worried that this could reduce competitors' incentives to invest in the creation of original content for the benefit of internet users. This practice may impact for instance travel sites or sites providing restaurant guides...
Here is the question:
Was any investigation done? Doesn't sound like it!
I know this is the "wrong" question to ask...but can a slashdotter authoritatively tell me that for all those volume licensees, Microsoft is the only game in town?
Heck, we now have a revamped Apple ecosystem, and Google's Chrome OS or Red Hat Linux would be a perfect fit for one [major] government department I visited a fortnight ago.
All their operations have credible OSS implementations and could be easily be ported to the web. You might wonder how I know...I know this because I am intimately familiar with their IT operations.
...not only that, the business of companies taking each other to court over patents is becoming the norm and as such, increasingly stale (as news)...in my opinion.
Google was guilty of foul play with its Chrome browser, which picks the company's own search engine as default for users, rather than offering a choice between rivals including Yahoo, Bing and Yandex."
The gentleman Ilya Segalovich must be a very interesting individual.
I have a solution for him:
I think the time is ripe for him to unleash the Yandex browser to the world, why not?
"Assuming Google isn't offering Voice out of the goodness of their hearts, what's the payoff?
Sincerely folks, I do not know or care. What matters to me is how I am going to be able to make something for myself in a climate of strangling student, home, medical and personal debts. All these in a climate of an uncertain job market, which is likely to get worse before getting better.
What Google of any other company is doing with their cash is of no consequence to me sincerely.
Does what Google do with its services matter to you? If so, how?
"The U.S. Bill of Rights guarantees the accused basic safeguards, including a fair and speedy jury trial, but in this era of mass incarceration â" when our nation's prison population has quintupled in a few decades â" these rights are, for the overwhelming majority of people hauled into courtrooms across America, theoretical. More than 90 percent of criminal cases are never tried before a jury, in part because the Supreme Court ruled in 1978 that threatening someone with life imprisonment for a minor crime in an effort to induce him to forfeit a jury trial did not violate his Sixth Amendment right to trial.
How exactly is this "news for nerds, stuff that matters?" This is Slashdot.org, right?
Folks, I just want to know because I believe Slashdot is going off course. Surely, this is not news for nerds about stuff that matters...or is it?
...that while the [new] facility will be "top of the line", most of the jobs associated with that facility will be minimum wage jobs.
You might wonder how:
The top jobs will definitely require skill and some serious experience. But the folks who will be doing these jobs will need to eat, have their laundry done, work in a clean environment etc. Fact: These folks will not make more than minimum wage.
The other jobs will be mostly done by machine (read computers). These will range from air quality control, monitoring systems, security and the like. To make matters "worse", monitoring of these systems will be most likely be done by some human being in Oregon.
How do I know? I know because some other major technology company in the same state does exactly the same, and I visited their facility late last year.
but they will never have a massive database that's comparable to what Google has.
I think it is good advice to you never to use the word "never" when referring to technology issues. Who knew that Microsoft or Nokia or even Apple would be in their respective positions when it comes to technology, just a few years ago? Surely, two of the companies I mention did not see it coming!
The report, "Occupying the Information High Ground: Chinese Capabilities for Computer Network Operations and Cyber Espionage," focuses primarily on facts about China's cyberwar planning but also speculates on what might happen in any cyberwar."
This is what I would add:
All speculation is geared toward ensuring that the report's authors or their agents are beneficiaries in any efforts the US government would take to "mitigate" any China factor(s).
Saying "PHP 5.4 Released" isn't that meaningful...

PHP 5.4 Released
·
· Score: 3, Interesting
Telling us readers how it (the new PHP) measures up to the competition would have been better and more informative.
So, let me bite: How does this new release measure up to the competition?
...Access Copyright that allows for surveillance of faculty correspondence, defines e-mailing hyperlinks as equivalent to photocopying a document...
How can emailing a hyper-link be equivalent to photocopying? When one photocopies, they then get a physical copy of a document. On the other hand, e-mailing a hyper-link provides no such physical object.
Here's how to circumvent the insanity: Email actual documents and then argue that *no* hyper-links were emailed as required by the stipulation. How about that?
...It's also about the [short] lifespan of OLED screens, currently at about 5 years if used for a straight 8 hours per day...much less than that of LCDs, which is close to twice that.
It is also about support for the device itself, when things go wrong as they will sometimes do. On this point, I salute Samsung for 'owning' any problems I have forwarded to them in the last 3 years.
Anyone used this suite's database component? Does it come anywhere near Microsoft's JET DB with the Access front end in functionality? I mean the ability to program "business logic" into the forms.

I thought Apple never did wrong because every pundit was detailing its so called, "attention to detail...". So what happened?
One did not need elementary school education to realise that its maps iteration was not just crazy, but it was just bizzare, showed incompetence and was taken as a reckless joke by many of us.
So again, what hapened to, "It just works?"
Question is, which patents are under re-examination? You never know...I could be of help.
1: Make one or two really good smartphones per year one of which should be of the "prime quality" status.
2: Do not ever lock up the boot loader. In fact make it easy for geeks to do whatever they want with the device.
3: Get rid of the so called MotoBlur or make it an option.
4: Make the phone a real beauty to look at. It should capture one's attention out of the box, i.e. by default. Google for some mock-up images. There are plenty.
5: Make it rugged that a small fall still leaves it working.
6: Make it easy for users to return defective devices, do not let the media define your product unless their definition is in your favor.
7: Advertise, advertise, advertise.

There has always been a [short] delay before Apple's products shipped. Remember that to be successful, one does not necessarily have to imitate Apple.
Apple has had its share of failures, reminds me of the Apple Lisa.
