1. Apple could not steal the idea of Prada and make their iPhone with full blown iOS and tools and manufacture it and present just per few weeks (Prada was first pictures found December , 2006 and iPhone was introduced January 9, 2007). Besides, Prada was introduced a two weeks after the first iPhone.
2. You know nothing about Prada. Because it was zero similar to the iPhone other, than just capacitive screen like we had in Palms for years, keypad for making calls, that was already designed on OpenMoko project that was not yet even "hardwared" and sort of desktop, that would you find on some Japanese "keitais".
3. The whole mobile World was literally laughing at Jobs's iPhone by saying "No buttons = shit". But later copied Apple just one-to-one.
4. The whole mobile World was literally laughing at Job's iPad by saying "iPod Touch XXXL". But later copied Apple just one-to-one.
Samsung is the most "creative": they not just put the iPhone device on a paper and outline it with a pencil, ripping off look, feel, design, colors, buttons position, they also stealing Apple icons directly: http://goo.gl/EF456 Others not just have no brains make actually working software, they even does not have brains to find a better name other than simply mirroring it: http://goo.gl/MXi9x
P.S. Just for a record, to stop various idiot fugtards call me as "an Apple fanboy", I am an Android user and developing for it a lot.
The Facebook is doomed. They understand that and they are trying to do anything possible to stop people running away. But it is inevitable: Google+ is much better place to do things like that.
First, I would strongly disbelief anybody who is leaving company andbad-mouthing. There is no respect to such people at all. And he also probably violates NDA.
Second, I am hands-on on the GWT and I think the guy is just an idiot. They are not any sluggish, but the opposite. We built a number of software with GWT and we think this is a great way. jQuery? He is either does not understands what he is talking about or thinks people are morons.
Of course, there are discrepancies and people are moving. Even you left Oracle (the most proprietary, restrictive and fear treating company), still keep your fucking mouth shut and say only what is either good for people or refrain to comment.
I am working for banks long years, here is a bit of security sights for you.
I remember how we deployed GOST encryption at a number of Russian banks, by saying "Hey, but AES (Rijndael) is seems to be better (at least more attacked and thus proven to be secure). You know what did they said? They said: if you are needed to nobody, then anyway nobody cares. But if somebody will need you, then nothing will help you ever.
The moral of the story above is: people are so much paranoid about SSL strength, yet it is OK that all your private information is known everywhere around? Got your credit card? Then I assure you that all your most important information is there in the database. For example, before you get a credit card in a City Bank, we will check you from your top to your bottoms and if you seems to be not reliable, you will not get a credit card. How do we know about you, you think?:-)
As of SSL strength: even 64 bit is impossible to decrypt, since your session lifetime is too short.
You are right (almost): Adobe InDesign is a mixture of Adobe PageMaker and Adobe Illustrator. But Inkscape is not designed for *text* layout. I mean, continuous text across columns or frames. This is well done in Adobe FrameMaker and Adobe InDesign now. Illustrator is more about graphics.
But taking into the account Gnome/GKT and KDE/QT jihad holywar, then they are rather deadly enemies.:-D
ROFL! While you're finished reading this voluminous "overview", I already published my books and got a money. While you're programming your book layout, I already got money for publishing another one...:-) The point is: it is EASIER and FASTER to just move object with a mouse from point A to point B, rather then type a code statements and render. LaTeX is free. Well, if your time has completely no value.:-)
Yep, LaTeX can do complicated stuff, I know. It actually can do even more than Scribus or InDesign (music score, for example). But that's not the point what it can or can not. The point is what it is tend to do better, where "better" is a set of various factors, including dumb customer, graphical designer specifics and just a time.
just not via WYSIWYG
Bingo. And that's the deal: you need it fast, rightfuckinnow, often in front of your customer, you need it visually and very often you need to follow the mockup very carefully. So the in case of LaTeX you basically need to "decompile" visually the layout, translate in your mind to a LaTeX script, then render.
That would sound the same ridiculously, like "Hey, throw away GIMP or Photoshop, because we have an ImageMagick and a Bash".:-) I mean, I understand your point, but graphical designers tend to do things... you know... visually, unlike pure math guys, that usually suck at graphical design big time.
Well, Scribus is like something "not-yet-QuarkXPress" or "almost PageMaker" or "Prototype of InDesign". Like you're drag-n-drop text, images, you put them visually etc. Is very good if the page is complicated (newspapers, magazines, posters, booklets).
LaTeX is more "compile this script" thing, that is good for a scientific papers and similar stuff, but is not the best choice for the things above.
If you are OK to go with RHEL, you also can look for SLES: SUSE Enterprise Linux Server. They also have SUSE Studio where you can make your own appliances. If you are large enterprise, they will even give you SUSE Studio appliance to be hosted in-house in your company for your own needs. They also have SUSE Manager — same as Spacewalk, but has more features in it (and is backward compatible with a Spacewalk).
Man, can you believe this shit? 600+ comments for a completely braindead post by some idiot, who has no idea what he is writing about... I can't believe it is happening on/. here.....:(
I just read through that document linked (good thing Google Translate knows Russian, because I sure don't)
Slashdot is running prehistoric Perl 3.0 on C locale, storing all comments as a static files that no one can edit them anymore, you forgot that? Thus Russian quotation will look like "????????????" here.:-)
First, that depends what you call "contribute". Does Morgan Stanley or Goldman Sachs contributes very much to the community? These guys are rolling nearly their own Linux distro and a packages. Now, if a federal executive authorities are running on open standards and are using ODF instead of DOC across all the related institutions (read whole Tax Office, various regional management offices etc) that are directly touching every day all companies in the country, then to what it will render at the end of the story and what does that mean to the whole country? For example, personally I see here a huge contribution by forcing all private companies to create new working places in order to support the whole information exchange. Microsoft is really screwed here big time, if all this project will succeed. Because it will also let MS Exchange go away and other related parts to that. Project MUST succeed, because Microsoft is god in Russia right now, and this is what Kremlin hates bit time. In a Russia I am completely sure they will speak to their participated developers very shortly: "You either will be f*****g reach or you will just die miserably". This is very Russian way. Since nobody wants to die in a Siberia, hence that's why I am positive they WILL succeed.:)
Secondly, if you ever have been involved into some opensource-based projects, you perfectly know one axiom: if you developing and never contribute to the project -- you're screwed big time at the end. They understand that, because they have experience already. So this is not just a package of new software, but also *improvement* and *support* of current open source software (translate for yourself decree No. 5, since you're not speaking Russian). This will include messing up with drivers, distros and a common software for servers and working places. This is a subject of an improvement AND support. This is not going to be literally forked from the rest of the World, but will be contributed instead. Of course, only complete idiot can expect Kremlin will contribute and open their internal federal executive authority software, made from scratch, while nobody nowhere said this software even will be free and opened under GPL license...
Lastly, Putin is a good strategist. I am not surprised Russia is looking to kick away US creature out of their offices and use something done inside of their country.
P.S. Just for a record, inside of the Kremlin they are very proactive to open-source technologies.
Guys, stop saying bullsh*t, for the sake of Universe... Use Google Translation and read Putin's order CAREFULLY, if you can not speak Russian!:( He orders to contribute and keep it all opened. If you missing that from the document, then problem is your personal, but stop spreading FUD, especially when entire country is serious ditching M$ away. Currently M$ is a god in Russia, does whatever they like and that's what government hates the most. Especially, if they never built their binaries of the OS from their audited code by themselves. How you can be so sure there are no backdoors planted to the Windows and how you can be so sure that the source code version that was offered for government review matches actual binaries deployed?
the Russian government can modify it all they like as long at it is kept within the Russian government without ever contributing those changes back to the "community".
At least this is not at all what Putin already ordered to federal executives in his statement. Expected result is to contribute to FSF. Of course, if FSF will get cocky, as it usually happens, we will have russian forks that still will be available freely online (that's what order says, FYI).

So who stop you, notfucking idiot, from steal ideas from Sci-Fi and polish it? :)
I want to say that:

Never use a dot zero release.
OK, cap! :-)
The Facebook is doomed. They understand that and they are trying to do anything possible to stop people running away. But it is inevitable: Google+ is much better place to do things like that.
If you can not write your name properly and need correcting it 5 (!) times, maybe you should not be on that network indeed.
Imagine they're installed in ANY product they ship. :-)

Some more useless article about "Who has longer dick". And the answer is: Dubai.
Hope, this time finally this silly icon with Bill Gates as a cyborg, will gone and will be replaced with something else...
So can I jailbroke it and make a phonecall from my mouse, using FaceTime?..
Whoa!... So, Michael Dell, eat your heart out.
