hop scotch is a fund raiser for SIFF that involves hundreds of beers, about twenty ciders, brats, and about 40 whiskeys.
Crowded with a few thousand people in ten rooms. Fairly dark rooms. My friends are short (they're women). While I'm tall, it's hard to see them in the crowd sometimes.
Actually, some of my friends have the Find My Friends app on their iPhones, and it's helped me find them during Beer Fest and Cider Fest and Hop Scotch events.
Well, when my son was that old (he's 21 now) we would always take walkie talkies with us.
Look, most cell phones, even old iPhone and Droid models, have the ability to:
1. RING with a distinctive ring tone (helping you locate them) 2. Let them call you or the police if need be (useful if lost) 3. track them via the built in GPS devices in most smartphones and the locate function (also helps locate them and tell you how far they are from you)
But hey, let's patent something we don't need, shall we?
Well, I could have gone on to describe the active trade war between China and Japan, China and Vietnam, China and the US, and the impact on Samsung of the passive China-SKorea and Japan-SKorea trade wars.
It's not just patents, there are literal riots involving tens or hundreds of thousands of people burning things in China, usually not reported in the US due to the Great Firewall, and the rise of both Rabid Nationalism and Protectionist Trade Wars in many countries is escalating.
Samsung is impacted by that, but the Apple-Samsung patent disputes are just part of what is going on, including supply chain aspects of component parts and licensing.

Then I congratulate you on walking your kid around with a retractable leash.
Then buy a droid you slacker. or worship the Chair God and buy a Zune Phone.

Useful app.
Just buy the rubber waterproof case. It's like $10 at REI. It has a strap and belt hook. It's for hikers.

Just buy them an iPhone, with Locate on, long distance off, and Find My Phone on.
And a case with a strap that connects it to their belt.
Problem solved.
Mine flops and flips so much it burns out the battery in one minute.
Petaflop score: 1 Trillion
usefulness score: Zero.
Look, we buy these things to do stuff for us. A dead phone or tablet is pretty useless, no matter what it scores.

A lot of non-UI devices are running on Linux or BSD now.
Most of us code in languages that run on anything.
My lab decided to listen to MSFT.
We got off WinXP. We replaced it with Linux running on 128 core blade servers.
Thanks for the push, Worst MSFT CEO Ever Ballmer!
(and you wonder why you lost money this quarter ...)
None of this has anything to do with patent disputes, Samsung tablets, Samsung smartphones, or anything else.
Because gullible American media people believe any lie they're fed by their Corporate Overlords.
First they came for Galileo.
Then they came for geologists doing their job.
Now they are coming for biologists.
If Italy keeps this up, we're going to hold our next scientific conferences in Spain or Portugal, not Italy.
Actions have consequences.
Not true. We know the form factor.
It's a relaunch after unsuccessful patent license negotiations for 3D tech.
Quick, let me buy the hype-driven Surface RT tablet and get something that will not work.
Oh. wait. Never mind.
Here's a news flash, my iPad2 is going to work fine. I'll buy an iPad mini when the price drops in the New Year.
The past few years in the market have been a crapshoot though. I've mostly been standing back until I see some kind of pattern.
Agreed. Your best bet right now is a dividends plus stock strategy. Moved 90 pct into S&P 500 mutual fund at 0.03 pct cost ratio.
You can have any Zune you want.
So long as it runs a fallible OS designed to function badly on a desktop and semi-reasonably on a mobile device.
I used to do tech IPOs. Used to only drop a couple thousand in each one, and set mental buy/sell limits.
If you spread out risk, taking a flyer on a good bet works out more often than not.
Slashdot is a US-centric audience.
Sadly.
Haven't got it to scroll yet.
Let me try that - on my Win box - 1 sec
Seriously, no pinch and expand, no rotate and twirl, it's like an http shell over an FTP site.
(Ducks)
Quack.
Internal cell temperature not median body temperature.
You forgot that half of what you make in stocks is almost always dividends.
You should never be involved in stocks if your time horizon is less than 5 years.
If 3-5 years, buy distressed utility bonds.
If less than 3 years ... well, you're FUBAR nowadays. Pay off your credit cards and car loans.
is that like Nortel the wireless stuff and Corel as in CorelDraw?
