Of course if your chinese bought "Fluorescing CRT" panel transmits a GPS signal that can be traced then it's more than just a weapons system being ruined...
If Apple are focussed on their Products rather than their Profit - why are they suing Samsung to protect their profit? Samsung aren't making iPads - so they aren't suing to protect their product... People (Fanboi's) will still buy iPads regardless of whether or not the Galaxy is available...
Mazda does not have flashy green technologies in its lineup that its bigger Japanese rivals do — such as the hybrids at Toyota Motor Corp. or electric vehicles at Nissan Motor Co. The fading away of its prized rotary engine — although largely symbolic — is yet another blow
Skyactive? Better economy that the Prius (3.3L vs 3.9L) in their Mazda 2 range - and it's actually a "Real" green technology - unlike plugin eV's and Lithium based battery packs. It's a genuine reduction in Green house emissions, not a "We'll move the emissions from your exhaust, to the power station"...
Given the statement (From TFA) of "The URT system can transform refrigerator insulating foam into pellets for use as fuel or other products.". I'm guessing your last line is what they'll take. "Hey we recover it as pellets that you can burn - it's recycling!". So why not just shred the fridge, burn the product to product electricity to power the shredder and then refine the left over metals. Job done... Environment buggered.
Errr - do you actually pay for iOS? If so, where can you buy it? How much for an iphone without it? What's that, you can't buy an iPhone without it? Intersting...
Because of Trade agreements between countries which still make this illegal (Nevermind the fact that in Australia we have quotas on downloads so it'd have to be reasonably small for alot of people to bother getting it). Of course they could move all their operations to somewhere like Cuba where there isn't a trade agreement with Australia (that I know of) - but that'd be a little more difficult than what they have done, which is to garner free advertising by appearing to make their product "controversial".
I guess it depends on which part of the piracy chain they are speaking too. Are they talking to the people who buy/borrow DVD/Blurays to rip and distribute them? The people that go to the latest release movies to video tape them? Sure, they are "good customers". Or are they talking to the people that download them from the forementioned "pirates" because they're sick of going to the movies to see something that costs a fortune, in an uncomfortable chair with no surround sound, half the picture off the screen and some annoying little shit kicking the back of their seat? Or perhaps they're talking about the kind of people that download them because they can't afford to buy the DVD, and rather than recording it off the TV they get a version off the net that is only different from the TV version because it doesn't have ads in it, though if they got the cable version it wouldn't have ads in it, so in reality there is actually no difference.
Yep - it's along the lines of "We can't have Hydrogen powered vehicles until we find a way to store the Hydrogen safely - Hydrogen is highly flamable and explosive!". Kind of like "gasoline" - and Lithium based batteries.
FUD is what makes the world go 'round. Until it explodes...
I'm sorry - Apple have patent on taking your money, so the "Vendor who deserves it" is in violation of one of Apples patents and will be sent a cease and desist notice.
And all people should have the right to just give up when ever they want. Because in doing so that will greatly benefit the fight against these (currently) incurable diseases. Take the cowards way out - (yes, not fighting is cowardice, killing yourself is cowardice - it's harder/braver to keep living than to just quit and end it) that'll help research into a cure for these diseases.
So if they rejected it, having started their own, then that becomes purely an anti-trust case rather than just ripping him off. It's anti competitive behaviour - no different to bundling IE with Windoze.
Ah yes, however now when you are bored at work, and you look out the window and see a beautiful day, with the sun shining, you can have some fun by grabbing a magnifying glass and setting fire to your security software.
If you're skyping to another skype user - then it's free. The FOSS requirement is presumably to be able to modify it in some way. Why the need to modify it is the question - otherwise why need it to be FOSS?
The whole thing sounds like a "Ew MS is bad! run! run! run!" knee jerk reaction...
I find it interesting that this is seen as a "free speech" issue, rather than receiving "goods obtained via illegal means" issue. He received and published an image that was obtained illegally - was arrested and questioned about - and released.
What this really is is the press trying to say "but we're the media - we can take and do what we want". Nevermind that illegal means were used to obtain the subject matter.

Oh crap - I just bought a Samsung instead of an Apple.
Now I'm going hungry...
Patent the wheel?
Already been done

Basically, or is that acidically...
Unless it tows a huge banner that says "Race you!". Any dumb arse that gets "caught" is "entrapped" - according to the dumb arses idea's of justice.

Yep - in 2003 by "AlternateSyndicate". Amazing how similar the post is... http://slashdot.org/story/03/03/16/1718207/Commander-Keen-13-Years-Later

In other news HTC has just applied for a patent on Liver transplants...

Ah yeah - Blue Suede shoes...

I can think of another phrase to use when referring to Apple.
Sieg Heil!

Whatever happened to "This pig sty!"? It's pretty unlikely that the mess would only include "LEGOs".

Is it open source?
