I'm inclined to agree. I can't tell what's less interesting (even to an Apple fanboy), an iPad Mini or a Windows 8 Tablet. I really truly thought the only reason Apple was going this way is so that it'd be a remote for the rumored Apple branded TV.
I get that, but I don't get a 7inch tablet, especially when most of the iPad owners I know are also smartphone owners.
First understand them, THEN make the judgement. Slashdot has not been educating you on how patents work... at all. They have been shocking you and watching their ad counter spin. It makes you feel like you're a master of the topic, but really it's a bit like filling up on a Snickers bar.
Welp, if my comment made you mad enough to call me a cunt, then I must have made a pretty good point. It's only a pity my phone's logo doesn't light up so you can hate me from farther away while I'm minding my own business.
Close, but in this case, you've got four perfectly good tires, and the tire you think is low is actually an anchor tied to the back.
The mechanic put it there, serving his own interests. You're not up to speed on how the mechanics of a car work, so you nod your head agreeingly and take comfort in knowing that other similarly-educated people also believe him.
I think it's completely irrelevant to the topic at hand. Or is there a bunch of magazines I've never heard of with titles like: 'Letters to the Editor'?
Oh and what are you doing when you create a post on slashdot which generates revenue from advertising?
Apparently I'm writing content that people don't read... I didn't say what Slashdot is or isn't. I'm starting to think your confusion stems from lack of reading comprehension.
Really, i am an escalation manager for ATT in a call center for ATT. My last few weeks since the Iphone 5 release has been about whiney bitches complaining that their phone does not have good battery life or connection to the network. God forbid Apple lied about a shoddy product. Yet I rarely get a call from a CM user bitching...
You get a lot more complaints by people using a phone that has sold in the millions than you do from a small group of people who bought phones then hacked a different ROM onto them? Well there's a +5 Interesting post if I ever saw one.
Boy I wish people around here had that sophisticated opinion about patents around here, but they don't. The rationalizations are sometimes entertaining, though. "I'll ignore the Star Trek bit and pretend as though this is about something else!" Heh.
Slashdot Mirror
And how exactly are you coming by all these articles you're reading?
I'm just waiting for Fandroids to claim that Apple claimed that they invented the concept of a ~7" tablet...
FTFY.

Android Fanboy: You paid how much for that phone that does half of what mine does?
Heh. Yeah, that was quite a rebuttal to "I hate your phone".
Anyone who buys Apple products is a cunt. Don't be a cunt.
Apple Fanboy: I love my phone.
Android Fanboy: I hate your phone.
So if the Apple Fanboy is a cunt....

Okay, I'll use a car analogy: The pressure in the tire is low, you don't need to invent a new wheel.
You can describe any invention in a similar way.
The prevailing philosophy holds that Mathematics is discovered, not invented.
That philosophy prevailed before the MP3 came along.
True, but how is that at all related to software patents?
Well, that's a little bit difficult to explain to somebody that thinks a patent should be invalidated because they saw something on Star Trek.
I wonder if all those people talking about software freedom use iPhones.
I love how comments like this get modded up, then later we get up-modded comments about how there's too much Apple hype.
Oh, and if there is a 'freedom' phone out there, it's not running Android.
Have you ever had frosty piss?
I had British beer once that somebody served to me cold... by accident.
If you had run the simulation first you might have succeeded in predicting the location of frosty piss.
Move along, no news here
Actually, I did learn something new today: Fanboys of Glenn Beck actually do exist!
"I'm superior to people who buy Apple products!"
You always turn into what you hate.
What do you think the letter section is?
I think it's completely irrelevant to the topic at hand. Or is there a bunch of magazines I've never heard of with titles like: 'Letters to the Editor'?

A black screen, failure to boot is not a brick.
You can still force update firmware, even if the phone doesnt boot.
Get a clue, read the FAQs.
You're asking an awful lot of an AT&T CSR.

They sell advertising space. That's it and that's all. Same as a newspaper, same as a TV show, same as a magazine...
I don't write the content for the newspaper, TV, or magazines. That little distinction there is important enough that everybody else gets it.
Boy I wish people around here had that sophisticated opinion about patents around here, but they don't. The rationalizations are sometimes entertaining, though. "I'll ignore the Star Trek bit and pretend as though this is about something else!" Heh.
I work with some very powerful software that has a fairly good manual, but some of the examples are written like this:
$x = exampleFunc(1, 2); // result = 1;
$x = exampleFunc(2, 3); // result = 1 ;
Thanks guys, that really cleared it up.
Erm... then why does Slashdot get an exemption?
Did you know that if you touch that dangly bit in the back of your throat you can taste everything you've eaten in the last 12 hours?
