Why would you ever take the massive performance hit of variable resolution when you make all the hardware too. Apple has already shown it can create multiple screen sizes and it works well. They will release a larger screen phone when they think it is advantageous for them. The premium (and larger phones) from other manufactures is not where Apple is losing marketshare....
30,000+ tons is a lot to drive around. Keep in mind Samsung actually (barring successful appeals) owes Apple closer to $890 million, $600 million from the original trial is still intact. The Gas would probably cost them another billion.
Show us one of those searches and explain how it shows prior art for a particular claim. I realize you can't because you are just making crap up, but it was kind of fun asking.
This is the point that kills the AC's "point." Apple was doing well until they followed his advice. Apple still has the best selling phone and most of the mobile industries profits. Perhaps they should follow the AC's advice and collapse.
Everyone in the comments seems to think Nokia has something other than selfish intentions. There are more popular accessories built around the lightning connector than the micro-usb connector and lightning has only been out a year. Nokia (and others) would love to be able to participate in the third party accesory market, but everyone focuses on Apple because it is better demographic. Nokia would like Apple to adopt something they can use so their users can have cool accessories too.
So you have very little self control. In that case, it is likely you would have been fired long before it came to that. In fact, it is unlikely you would have been hired to begin with.
To start you go far beyond even the ACLU's absurd interpretation of the NDAA. Paranoid much?
You are accepting ACLU propaganda as fact. How can anyone respond to that? Since you can't name a single other country that even offers the protection that the ACLU is claiming is not being afforded within the "constitution free zone" I guess I can say the entirety of the rest of the world is a constitution free zone. The US constitution provides the greatest protection of unreasonable search and seizure by far. Does the TSA violate the constitution? Absolutely. Does C&BT yes. Both are problem. But you are talking about some issues with a right that does not exist anywhere else in the world.
I would say nearly every country in the world does something similar to your third point. It is apparently quite common for journalists in the UK now.
I don't know who did we assassinate?
I have been to: Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Australia, New Zealand, The UK, Germany, France, India, Singapore, China, Japan,Italy, Norway, The Netherlands, South Korea, Ireland, Ecuador, Nevis, Bonaire, Turkey, Malaysia, Hong Kong (I Know), Puerto Rico, Chile, Taiwan, Austria, Greece. A few more islands.
Can you name one of those countries where I would not be subject to random searches by government agents anywhere within their borders? Of course you can't. You just seem to have a pollyanna view of the rest of the world, but don't really understand what its like.
Yeah then you are just lying. Every country in Europe is much, much , much more invasive than the United States. You are simply delusional.
Lets take the UK as an example. The UK government is imprisoning journalists and destroying their records. They have cameras on every street corner.
Glorifying terrorism is not protected speech in the EU. Why? Why is that an exception? THe european notion of freedom is completely based on what is convenient. Advocating the dissolution of the monarchy is officially not protected speech (they seem to ignore that in practice).
The market solution of boycott is absurd. This is not a Market problem. The TSA is not a Market driven organization. The TSA is a government entity. People need to stop believing their congressman is Ok. Fly all you want. Not flying will not change the TSA, not even a little. It is Naive and childish to believe boycotting a commercial enterprise will somehow affect government behavior.
If you voted for a republican or democrat in the last election, if you didn't vote in the last election, you are the problem. Boycotting the airlines does not help. Change your congress person. Whoever they are, they have contributed to this problem.
Your right, in a sense, there is nothing arbitrary about the bible. It was designed to control a population and keep them under the thumb of chosen men. There is no divine inspiration in the bible. Most of the bibles new testament fables are more than 10,000 years old.
I own a passport and have traveled to 38 countries on 5 continents. I can't think of any place that offers more freedom than the US. Is our government more invasive than in the past? Yes. Should we change that? Absolutely. Is there someplace with both the same level of security and a less invasive government? No. I am hard pressed to even identify a less invasive government.
We have our problems, but it certainly can be worse. The only place I might consider less intrusive is Canada, but even then it is close and they make up for it with an absurd pile of regulations.
Get rid of the TSA? Absolutely Reign in the NSA? Should be our top priority. There is someplace better? Get real.
How did the guest over react? If bed bugs are as common as you say, than housekeeping should be checking for them and guests should not be put in Infested rooms.
I think you are confused about who is clearly wrong here.
But they never discuss if the app had to be given permissions. Sure they say they did it all secretly and hidden using private apis, but they never indicate they did not give the app permissions when it was run.
Hard to believe this paper has been peer reviewed.
In fact, from the article you linked: " A notification appeared locally on the device and if the user had authorized the app to access their Twitter account, a tweet of the notification was sent out under their account with a hash tag #softwarepiracyconfession"
See the if part of the statement? Maybe it would help to read what you link? Maybe a little?

Keep telling yourself all that, it seems like you are starting to believe it. Talk about trying to justify your own behavior. wow.
Actually you are locked out of iTunes. However with an iPhone I can access any content from anyone. Everyone makes an iPhone.

I bet you can't even say what any of those patents are...
That point is reached when the patent expires...

Linux is no threat on the Desktop to um anything.

Stop with all the facts you are going to screw up all the rampant Internet speculation.
It is probably more fair to say apple receives the same revenue they would for an unlocked phone.
Judging by the gushing reports coming out, success looks like a 2 position kick stand.
Yeah no. It is real. Good try though.
Users who don't like them can simply turn then off. It takes 5 seconds to do and the setting will persist through is upgrades.
I know you will conveniently ignore this again because you are just trolling, but I thought it would be fun to point out the facts.
PS everyone is not like you.
Except where they said they do need to rush new products to market. PayPal still adds markets and services all the time...
