That's a work-around but not an acceptable solution to be honest. Google has no business trying to put these kinds of restrictions on an account just because someone signed up for an additional service. In fact I've signed up for more service and now get less service because of it. As far as I can tell this was based entirely on where I signed up for the account. I'm tempted to use a proxy to invite another e-mail address to google+ and sign-up in another country to see what happens. It certainly isn't based on any choices I've made in the account settings as there is absolutely nothing left set to Korea anywhere in the account that I can find. The restrictions don't even make sense. How does this kind of personlization help anyone at all? Who could possibly view this as a positive? It'd be one thing to promote Korean papers to the top on a search, it's another thing to remove all other results entirely.
this kind of integration has the potential to disrupt other services you use. Logged in the news search is now totally broken, showing only a tiny fraction of the results I got before, while logged out, it continues to work just fine. The mystery as to what is causing this and how it can be solved has yet to be solved, but it probably has a lot to do with a large company thinking it knows what's best for you based on where you create your account/where you use your account regardless of language settings, the site you actually try to use, etc.
No they really don't. 4chan often has a little trade-off where they go around trying to friend each other's "troll account". For fun I decided to report a few of them, some with ridiculously obvious names, and months later, they're still there. I've seen people create very obvious "game" accounts that they use just to play games, but they'll make a dozen of them so they don't have to use their real friends to get ahead. Hell, those are there years later.
For months I reported the same account for spamming the facebook market place for scam job posts (you know make a million dollars per minute at home on the internet!!!!) never removed. As far as I know it's still spamming.
Which is an English speaking country. Not in the same category as Korea, or Poland if you were actually there.
as a test, I actually used securitykiss to set up a proxy connection to a UK server, not many choices on the app, I use, but UK is one, the US and I've got one in germany I can use.
logged out, I still get 279,000 hits logged in, I get 29 hits now, but it's still giving me all Korean hits. Obviously something in my google plus profile has set something. But I even went ahead and deleted my current city.
Using the form you provided, is not an actual archive search. "Any time" only seems to include recent news, not the actual archives.
I've removed any trace of anything to Korea in my profile on google plus, and it still insists on giving me korean news results only for the archive search when logged in. Perhaps it's remembering that I created my account from Korea, but that's again more idiocy on google's part.
Are you doing an archive search from an overseas country? Are you actually in Poland? http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=frogs&sa=N&tbs=nws:1,ar:1 This search logged out generates 279,000 hits logged in the search generates 28 hits and only returns Korean newspapers that happen to contain the English word "frogs" and does not even index the English language papers in country, papers that show up in the logged out search.
If I change the time frame to the past 1 month instead of archives, I get 2100 results (where were those a moment ago?) including some english language results, but if I hit "sign-out" suddenly I get 17 million hits.
Google plus is definitely screwing with my news searches, and there is no setting anywhere that I can find that would control this or turn it off.
I hope nobody does international business travel and wants to use their profile/google services while travelling
In their infinite wisdom, google has decided to "personalize" your services for you. So for example, my profile is set to English, but I'm an expat living in Korea. Even though I go to: news.google.ca to do a news search, searches that worked fine only a few days ago, no longer work.. yes do an archives search for simple basic words which would otherwise returns thousands of hits suddenly turns up empty. Why? Because google news is only now searching Korean language newspapers when I do a news search. Forget the fact that there are English language newspapers in Korea, those don't even count. Log-out, searches work just fine, returning proper results. I can find nothing in the settings to turn this off, and if it isn't fixed right away, I'll be deleting my google+ account.
This kind of personlization is garbage, and shows absolutely no forethought. How about the business traveller who suddenly goes overseas for something, things will be half/not working and showing up in languages he doesn't speak. Superb.
When some app developer has found a new way to get around the "hide this app" feature, say by posting pictures with the user tagged or otherwise posting as the user but not "via the app" so you can't block the message without blocking the user, facebook has no problem letting these apps carry on.
I didn't think it was possible to write this kind of an article without making an unnecessary comparison to minority report (you know like that one we seen whenever someone uses their hands to do something with technology). They honestly deserve something without trying to parade out that tired dead horse.
they're still just 1 market. Despite the giant market that they are, it probably doesn't help your companies competitiveness if 20 people speak mandarin vs 2 or 3. There are still more people who are not Chinese than those who are and if you want to break into other markets, well..
Frankly just don't waste your time because everyone else is better (more prolific) at learning English than English speakers seem to be at learning other languages. Even in Asia, Koreans, Japanese, Chinese, etc all do business in English because they're all learning English. Just let them do all the hard work because their biggest market has English in common. Work smarter, not harder. In fact, ignore all advice about learning a language for business because no matter who you're going to do business with, they're probably learning English right now.
The fair use/protection claim cannot exceed what you need to make the comment. If all your comment is, is that this was a popular song, it's a very weak comment, and really doesn't justify using that song.
This is a common misconception. While some of his songs are parody, many are not. Under US law, parody requires that it be used to comment on the original. While Weird Al sometimes comments on the original, many times he just adds funny new lyrics to the song without making any direct comment on the original song or artist. As an example, see his big hit off his last song "White & Nerdy", unless I missed it there is absolutely no commentary on the original song or the artists, so it is not actually parody. Even then, the use of the content shouldn't really exceed what is required to make the comment. The song "You're pitiful" was another example. There was no comment on either James Blunt or the original song made through that use.
However, I have heard some of his songs where he does use them to comment on the original artist, or the song itself.
You can't just take something, make it funny and claim it's a parody, the threshold is higher than that.
Between the EU trying to ban "hacking tools" and the US trying to ban lip-syncing it's hard to figure out just which government body has the more idiotic legislators.
See Moseley v Victoria Secret. And the OS 9 lawsuit. Cases that have come later that support's Apple's position that two marks can exist in different industries.
First they'd have to be in two different industries. Apple's iCloud is a remote data storage service. You know.. kind of like this one is: http://www.geticloud.com/datacenter/
You know, the thing that is linked directly off the front page. Upper right. Let me know when you pull your head out of Steve Job's backside.
They settled because they had no case. One time they settled for 26 million dollars... you think that isn't enough money to mount a sufficient legal defence? Have you considered that if you weren't such a raging fanboy you might not look so ridiculous? and again they only won the fourth time due to the agreement they settled on the first time. They didn't win a straight shoot-out.
VOIP services is not the only service they offer. When you find a clue let me know.
They won 25 years later on a dispute over the agreement, they did not win a court case over their use of the name. The only reason they even had that court case 25 years later, and got to use the name was because they settle with apple corp and paid a fee to them, I'd consider settling in the other party's favor to be a loss. In 1981 Apple Corp received a settlement in 1989 Apple corp sued and yet again received a settlement in their favor in 1991 Apple corp sued and again received a settlement in their favor in 2006 Apple Computers won in court over an interpretation of the original agreement, one that first cost them money, and twice they settled for effectively admitting defeat in all 3 of those cases. Did someone bang the gavel and say "You lost" no, Apple Computers did that themselves.
it's quite clear that you're yet another apple warrior, but I'd hardly call 3 settlements in the favour of the other party anything but a loss. They settled because they knew they would lose. Apple was taken to court 4 times, they won once and paid 3 settlements. yet in this case, they only won because of the original agreement and because their business models were different. In this case icloud communications has a similar business model and apple isn't holding an agreement they can wiggle around in.
The suit was settled in 1981 with an undisclosed amount being paid to Apple Corps.
As a condition of the settlement, Apple Computer agreed not to enter the music business, and Apple Corps agreed not to enter the computer business.
They won in that they got to keep the name, but they lost in that they had to pay for it. You can read right?
this led Apple Corps to sue again, claiming violation of the 1981 settlement agreement.[2] The outcome of this litigation effectively spelled the end of any further development of the highly profitable Apple II line,
In 1991, another settlement involving payment of around US$26.5 million to Apple Corps was reached.
Apple computers only won in 2003 over itunes. Now the difference in this case, as someone already pointed out is that the two companies are already in the same business. Where Apple Music and Apple Computers did two different things. Were apple to get another such judgment, they would essentially kill their icloud service.
Someone also pointed out that the company owns the name icloud communications and one of the issues is not simply that it's the same, but that it's close enough to damage theirs.
Apple music Apple Computers was the example given above.
Slashdot Mirror
when I'm logged into Twitter, I can still perform news searches without google+ "personalizing" them for me and making them utterly useless.

But it doesn't block the actual app if other people are using the app and post similar pictures, you still see them for awhile.
