  1. Re:The Law on Apple, Startup Go To Trial Over 'Pod' Trademark · · Score: 3, Insightful

    That's a lot of money Apple has been throwing into making the public familiar with the "pod" brand,

    But Apple has not developed a "pod" brand, they've developed an "iProduct" brand. There is the iPod, iMac, iPhone, iPad, iTouch, and iTunes. I'm certainly not familiar with any other of their brands that are called "productPod"

    I hear all the time about how government protects people from corporations

  5. Re:Unintended consequences on Is a US High-Speed Railway Economically Feasible? · · Score: 1

    That's nice, but newer high speed rail lines (like in California) would be on their own dedicated rails and grading that would not be shared by freight.

  6. Re:basic math on At Issue In a Massachusetts Town, the Value of Two-Thirds · · Score: 1

    Let's not forget that the three-fifths counting was a good thing. It gave the South that much less representation in Congress than if all of those other Persons were counted as whole.

  7. Re:And the Mobile Carriers? on Group Calls For Google Antitrust Probe · · Score: 2, Insightful

    According to a recent study, the top four (AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, and T-mobile) control 80%. They have limited competition by buying all the little carriers up. $200 termination fees per two year line doesn't really give anyone a chance to move and explore the competition.

  8. And the Mobile Carriers? on Group Calls For Google Antitrust Probe · · Score: 5, Insightful

    When are the mobile carriers like AT&T, Verizon, and so forth are going to be held to these anti-trust laws? They have a majority share in markets, have limited competition, and we're paying high costs for things as simple as texting.

    Google gives their stuff away for free and I can go anywhere else to search for what I need. People need to figure out their priorities.

    Two sperm are traveling inside a blonde. One says to the other "How far are we from the egg?" The other says "Not far now, we just passed the tonsils."

  12. Re:Apple's Price Fixing on $860 Million In Fines Handed Out For LCD Price-Fixing · · Score: 0

    We are just going to sell displays at a higher price than everyone else.

    By being involved with the price fixing, they were making that much more in profits above what the markets should of naturally been.

  17. Re:The Best Thing To Do on Triangular Buttons Make On-Screen Keyboards More Usable · · Score: 2, Funny

    The Logitech wave keyboard has a little "moat" around Capslock and Numlock keys, making them far less easy to accidentally press.

    Plus it kept the Black Knight at bay!

    That would normally be funny, however, this program will overtake the computer to the point where the normal Window's Security Center is replaced by this program. People will then be told that they need to buy a subscription to protect their computer and it all seems to be under Microsoft, not another offshore company.

    This is to protect the consumer from fraudulent AV companies. Take a look at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antivirus_2009
    That one pops up with a fake "Security Center" screen that opens your browser to their site where you can buy their program for $49(US) or $72(US) depending on which version you'll think you need.
