Apple announces something that everyone has already used before, and already exists. Audience members applaud, and for some reason people laud it as revolutionary, innovative, and new.
When you pick your lineup, how do you sift through your catalogue and decide what it is you'd like to play? For example, (I saw you guys last night in Richmond) I didn't hear anything from Mink Car, The Spine, and I know you have over 300 songs to choose from. -TMBG IFC
Well looking at who had something to gain over the wireless rules, it's no wonder that they got a pretty free reign to do whatever they please over that spectrum. Google's stance in it may have had something to do with their push for Android, but I really don't get why they sided with VZW on it. No neutrality towards all content is not neutrality at all.
Facebook NEVER deletes or forgets ANYTHING, even when they claim they do.
It is probably is the safest storage there has ever been.
As sad and funny as this is, OP is actually right. I, however, trust my photos to Google with picasa. Private storage of photos and videos, would be another thing though. I'd just say RAID or NAS.
Oracle offers some added value if you need it. If you are stuck on mysql for some reason and you project outgrew what the free verions handles, it may be reasonable to pay some money for well defined support of new features.
So how often does your company deal with government mandated use of MySQL standards? Does Oracle charge you based on how much memory you use, and how much traffic you get? Talk to someone who has to deal with their asinine practices, then you'll start to understand why people are getting so pissed at Oracle. Their either get a kick out of pissing off their end users, or they just don't give a shit since people have to use them.
OMG! The USPTO actually denied something? Maybe Apple should have tried patenting multi-touch "with a computer," seeing as that phrase is the secret pass code for getting a patent on otherwise unpatentable trivialities.
Apple is smarter than that. They would add multitouch with "a portable multifunction device with one or more processors, memory, and a touch screen display."
Not only is TFA (and even TFS) clearly about trademarks and not patents but Apple do have a patent on multitouch.
Sadly, since they added "A method, comprising: at a portable multifunction device with one or more processors, memory, and a touch screen display" to the front of every description of technology that already exists.
But yes, this is about Trademarking the term "multitouch," not any more absurd patents.
AT&T has plenty of spectrum. What they don't have is connective infrastructure. I constantly have AT&T signal but data just won't go through because the towers' routers are overloaded. AT&T needs to take the billions it is trying to spend buying T-Mobile to add bandwidth.
But how do you expect ATT to make money? Investing in infrastructure costs money. Doing nothing is free.
Because other people say they should be mistrusted, and fools listen. If you've ever looked into the numbers of people fabricating evidence, it's very few and far between, but people are often led to believe it's so common, and that scientists create some sort of money circle. See our research means we need more money to do this! If people understood the funding process, and how little most scientists get paid, I don't think they would have the same view. The easier method would be to get an MBA.
How are they equivalent? PEER offers avenues of support to whistelblowers who witness violations within their field. In this case, there was a deliberate effort to defame the work of scientists, and the scientists themselves. Of course they have an obvious stake in the outcome of this case, their integrity, as well as jobs, are being called into question. And by they, I mean the scientists.
This is in no way meant to punish that guy, who will never in his lifetime be able to pay off 675k dollars. Assuming he's 21, and lives to the average american male age of 78.7 years, he will owe $11637 per year, also assuming they don't want interest. I don't know what his major is, but he'll be paying 1/3 of his income towards this for the rest of his life.
It's meant to threaten others: see, if you download songs you'll ruin your life!
The crime is (apparently) that they failed to provide sufficient and consistent information for everyone to ignore.
Easy solution: point out Mt. Vesuvius, and tell the populace to follow what happened in AD 79.
If you want sufficient and consistent information, don't sue the people who have devoted their entire lives to doing so, otherwise you'll be left doing it the old fashioned way, not having any information at all.
So your plan is to go to the store that was so behind the curve, they went bankrupt, were bought by MAFIAA studios, and now aim to shut out competition by pulling releases? I'd like to see how satisfied you are when Netfilx shutters, and BB raises prices with no benefits to users.
It doesn't matter. You can sign away all of your rights as a citizen to any company's ToS, but I can guarantee that no court in the respective country will find that document legally binding. Try as they might.
Why is this an insightful post? Sound more like paranoiac ramblings to me.
I'm not entirely sure what sort of smear campaigns against apple, to which you refer. If you read the link the SFPD admitted having officers stand outside, after they contacted Apple.
After speaking with Apple representatives, we were given information which helped us determine what occurred. It was discovered that Apple employees called Mission Police station directly, wanting assistance in tracking down a lost item. Apple had tracked the lost item to a house located in the 500 block of Anderson Street. Because the address was in the Ingleside Police district Apple employees were referred to Officers in the Ingleside district. Four SFPD Officers accompanied Apple employees to the Anderson street home. The two Apple employees met with the resident and then went into the house to look for the lost item. The Apple employees did not find the lost item and left the house.
"The Apple employees did not want to make an official report of the lost item." - San Francisco Police Department spokesman Lt. Troy Dangerfield
I also agree that the story sounds fishy, but the simplest explanation isn't, someone fabricated this story, hired an ex-cop to pose as Apple security, tracked the "missing phone" down to a vicinity, and tossed the house, all under the guise of smearing Apple, all with the SFPD overlooking. The fishy part, if true, would be that Apple has secret police that have free reign.
One of the search team, a man who went by the name "Tony," provided Caldeon with his phone number, which SF Weekly called, speaking to Anthony Colon, a former San Jose police officer who said he now works at Apple as a "senior investigator" and declined to comment further.
fastflip was very useful to me. Problem with some of their small projects is that they never publicize them, then wonder why no one's heard of it, or uses it.

I take it back, you played Withered Hope. Question still stands.

Do they? I have several albums of full-res stuff, like 3MB 3072×2304 res and it looks like the original. Do they just downgrade when hotlinking?

I know he's trolling, but there's a reason he's painting everyone that way, albeit unjustifiably. It does happen, and it's disgusting when it does. http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/the-kill-team-20110327

So your proof that the free market prevails is that Americans go to Canada to take advantage of their subsidized medicine?

I thought found art, and ready made art were synonymous.
Which part? The app is free, and I think you get unlimited text included in a $60 plan, or something along those lines.
as found art?
Then again, pure capitalism suffers that fatal flaw as well. The corruption of money and power allow capitalists to exploit people just the same.
Isn't that the description of capitalism? Exploitation of the working class?
They were suing companies selling counterfeit "Samsung" phones and leaking secret documents. That's quite a big leap to comparing that, to this case.
