    To quote Steve Jobs, "Good artists copy, great artists steal". That company comes up with nothing original.

    The screen is not the same, 4.8" with Gorilla Glass vs 4.65" with no protective glass. Faster processor/GPU, 2GB RAM, microSD slot, etc.

    TouchWiz on the Galaxy S3 is very minimal, you don't even really notice it.

    It is the plaintiff's responsibility to enforce a civil ruling. But this is getting ridiculous. We need to just invalidate all software patents and ban them.

    Have you used the Galaxy S3? It is far superior to the Galaxy Nexus. In fact I plan on buying one for myself next month now that I have had a chance to play with one.

    After 9/11 it was all over the media when the US Government extended its reach concerning financial institutions. They were freezing accounts "suspected" of being tied to terrorism all over the world.

    Stop and identify laws make it so that you do.

    If you do not have ID I guarantee you will be held until your identity can be verified. These laws effectively make it so that you are required to carry ID in several states.

  15. Re:46 percent you say? on SSD Prices Down 46% Since 2011 · · Score: 2

    FUD! I have a 120GB SSD in my laptop that has been running for over a year and a half and has had a total of zero issues. According to SSD Life I have read over 7.2TB from it and written over 3.5TB of data to it. It shows that at my current usage rate I have over 8.5 years left until I run of of writes, and that is a low end estimate.

    You can get a 256GB Crucial M4 for under $200 if you look online, about $210 if you go to the store. Use one of those as your system drive and replace your laptops optical drive with the stock HDD for storage (you can get adapters for this).

  17. Re:really simple on SSD Prices Down 46% Since 2011 · · Score: 1

    The rule of thumb should be always use an SSD for the system drive. If the customer also needs storage it doesn't cost much to add in a 1TB or larger HDD. It only takes a minute to configure Windows to store home directories on the HDD, and you can even make a custom image that is already configured this way. With SSD prices where they are now there really is no reason to use a HDD as the system drive anymore.

    Crucial does not use Sandforce controllers in their SSDs. The M4 uses the Marvell 88S-9174 controller.

    It's best to do a clean install on an SSD in order to avoid sector alignment issues. If the alignment is off your SSD will suffer performance issues.

    That was an issues with Vista (the first major re-write in years), but since Vista and Windows 7 use pretty much the same driver model, Windows 7 did not have that issue.

    You shouldn't run the latest version of everything anyways. It is very likely that there are unknown security holes that have yet to be patched.

    That's what I'm saying. The only thing that doesn't work for me under Linux is Optimus, and that really is not a big deal. Linux Torvalds is just a big baby who expects everything to be done his way. In which case why did he open source Linux?

    But Nvidia does make Linux drivers. He's just pissed that they're not open source.
