I remember seeing this done with the T-Mobile G1 android phone when it first came out and probably with other phones before then. Is this "innovation" because it is an iPhone?
APK, both you and your alterego have been answered numerous times and you just obliviously come back with the same arguments with the words in a slightly different order. Trying to educate you is literally pissing in the wind so the only thing left to do is to heap scorn and derision. You are pathetic. You hairyfeet you and hairyfeet ahairypfeetk whatever you want to call yourself.
Once you could lay claim to being hot snot on a silver platter but now that you've descended into full on troll, you're just a cold booger on a paper plate.
Between the 1 2 combination of Google Voice and GrooveIP, Verizon is "losing" a ton of revenue from me. My text messaging needs are natively handled by Google Voice and with some help from the grooveip app, Google Voice handles my voip needs as well. I just turned off my texting carrier plan and cranked my minutes to the absolute minimum. Fortunately I'm grandfathered in on an unlimited data plan from Verizon to make this all possible. I have unlimited monthly calling minutes and messages on the lowest plan Verizon carries. I just carry my OG Droid around as a glorified Mi-Fi and keep my Nexus S tethered. You wouldn't even realize theNexus doesn't have a similar card the system works so well.
You've said "I can't imagine" a couple of times in your posts here. Do you speak from authority? I almost always appreciate what you have to say and want to know.
I lost count how many people have asked for and taken my advice on which smartphone/laptop to buy. When they come to me asking which eReader/tablet do I recommend and provided they all more or less will meet their needs, which do you think I'll ultimately suggest?
Sure its possible but then again, what isn't? I hope they bring whatever they have. Barnes and Nobles' lawyers are blowing holes through the current ones like a crackhead chihuahua with a Gattling gun. Send more so we can either invalidate or code around those too. The last thing MS wants is real transparency.
Considering what the GP is saying is par for the course for MS and the rest of the industry's software patents these days, it's a pretty likely supposition the the patent is on the "idea" of doing this and is as filled with as much broad all-encompassing legalese as possible. I mean who knows, some small business might base their model on something remotely related to this 10 years from now. How else do you expect to extort^H^H^H^H extract revenue from them without being as vague as possible?
Sadly this is true. I have the same experience when I try to install many market apps in my Android virtual machine. Some work many don't. To all current and potential Android devs: do it with Java if at all possible.
I don't know if you ever used wine for gaming, but I certainly wouldn't call it flawless
I don't think he actually said that. What he said was that wine runs many games flawlessly not that wine itself is flawless. Subtle distinction but it is there.
No doubt Windows 7 is very close to the Vista codebase but what people were saying way back when (I was there) was that Vista in its present state was the future and you might as well get off of XP and get on Vista because "resistance is futile". That never happened. So, no, resistance was not futile. In this case it worked as MS got on the ball and delivered something that many people actually like.
The only problem with splitting everything out like that is there are many apps that always have that one thread that can't be atomized any further and will saturate the core. I mean a loop can only be run so fast no matter how many cores you have so any one program is always going to have an absolute performance bottleneck. This isn't to say that there isn't merit to multi-core as of course the more the merrier but it isn't an absolute panacea.

You're finally cracking up hairyfeet/apk. Now you're to the point of replying to yourself.

I can't receive random pictures and videos over text messages with Google Voice you say? That's a feature!

Then go for the real win and get a blanket injunction on all "first post" first posts. Don't forget to attach a claim for "frosty piss"
Yeah, or something real snarky like 50 million digital copies of the Nook Tablet user manual at 10 bucks a pop.

Quick, does Barnes & Noble have anything Google can "license" when the going gets tough like MS did for SCO?
I think they've got bigger things than just "Linux" to worry about right now. How long before the house of cards falls?

Why doesn't Microsoft patent a way to curb their own obnoxious patent bullying?
High powered law degree or not, those guys are idiots and the Galaxy Tab is not a phone.
I rest my case.
Heh heh heh. Touché. BTW, I use Linux and they'll pry it from my cold dead fingers.
*runs off laughing maniacally...
Give em a chance. Maybe they can add animated gif support to android...
Dear God no

still needed is a port of Dalvik to x86, and a port of the Android runtime libraries to x86.
This was done eons ago.

They said the same thing about Vista.

Wow, I must have really kicked over the loony bin hornets nest. Geez.
