We should all just start stripping buck naked in the airport then. Fuck it. If everybody wasn't so pussy and would man up like this guy did maybe actual change would take place. They can't incarcerate us all!
This being Slashdot and all, I'm going to give you an example of Apple style innovation using cars as examples. This is the best analogy I can come up with that uses your definition of the word so here goes:
You might notice that the person that customized the second example did not actually "innovate" the idea of a 1970s Mercury Cougar. He took what already existed and added his own flourishes. Now how fucking retarded would he look if he went around suing owners of other Mercury Cougars? How stupid would you look defending him?
Have you even looked at the patent in question? Here it is in all its rounded corner glory. They patented rounded freaking corners. If you want to get specific, 4 rounded corners on a rectangle. Like the world has never seen that before.
They protect their own innovations to an extent they deem reasonable.
What innovations? Apple is an imitator, marketer, and polisher of other people's products. Did they invent the cellphone? Did they invent tablets? Did they invent mp3 players, touch screens, gridded icons, rounded corners or anything else of substance? Have they ever actually created a new product category? The best people can say is that Samsung imitated an imitator. At best.
How do you propose documenting that for new users that want to try out Linux but aren't comfortable messing around in their BIOS? Getting them to figure out what motherboard/BIOS version they have so you can send them just the right screenshot?
My take on it is pretty similar. Right tool for the right job and all. It's pretty easy to write HTML5 apps for Android and iOS there are even pretty good frameworks for it like Titanium and Phonegap. The fact remains that most apps you find in either of those app stores that are written with a webview tend to get the lowest ratings. Scrolling doesn't work as well, they lack depth and complexity, etc. Unless Mozilla can fix these issues on their platform they are going to be in for some disappointment I'm afraid. I still wish them the best of luck in their endeavor.
This is exactly what I was thinking. These guys don't play and it's all fun and games in the server room until they come for you and your family. Google needs to rethink this in the worst kind of way.
I'm just thinking, isn't a private corporation fighting a was on drug cartels a potential way for various officers to end up in ditches somewhere? Just asking because a long time ago I knew some people personally that were involved in this kind of thing and I'm here to tell you, they don't play and they have no compunctions in coming for you and your family. Google should probably think twice about this one.
That list has 121 items on it and you took issue with thirty of them. Assuming you are 100 percent right, that still leaves 75 percent of what the OP said on the table...
If it were that easy, Anonymous wouldn't exist and be effective now. They obviously do and are despite the occasional culling of a member here and there. The only difference I can see in what the summary describes is they would work faster. Check your presumptions.
There's this thing on here called the firehose. If you don't like a story, you can vote it down. I guess bitching and conspiracy theories are more fun though.
What 'democracy'? I don't know about you but I live in a representative republic. What the summary is describing is an actual democracy so, no, it is not like what we've seen so far as far as national politics goes.
Once it works on Ubuntu, it will be very easy to port it to any other Linux distro.
Yep, just statically compile, throw the whole thing in/opt, put an icon in/usr/share/icons and a.desktop file in/usr/share/applications and call it a day. It should be fairly trivial to port to all of the major Linux distros and most of the minor ones.

It's not from their "continued struggles"
MS' online division isn't continuing to struggle? How much money is Bing making these days?
The loss stems from Microsoft's continued struggles with the online services division
Was not the 6 billion dollars they wasted on aQuantive an effort to better place themselves in the online ad sales picture?

This is tablets before the iPad.
This would be the iPad in this analogy.

Dell is the fourth largest PC vendor in sales numbers in the last quarter so a few people are buying their stuff still.
Poe's Law achievement unlocked!
I'm talking about how people should run Linux. not windows.

And obviously the EU would like things to stay that way. competition is good.

Silver light
I think its pretty obvious that if you go to a webpage with Silver light on it Windows Phone doesn't support it.

You know you can just not install it right? Personally I like choice thats why I choose Linux. And soon I'll have more choice takes to Valve.
Er, l4d2 came out in November of 2009 and it is basically being used as the test mule for the steam Linux port. Have some perspective.
There's a device for that.
Is your list intended to be ironic?
