  1. Re:Smeagol on McCain Decries "Hobbits," Accused of Ringbearing · · Score: 1

    Despitebrepublican claims to the contrary, the Bush tax cuts did not increase government revenues by stimulating the economy. Those cuts have resulted in a direct reduction of revenue around 1.8 trillion dollars. in any case, we need massive spending cuts and some tax increases to get out of the mess. The tea party has neither the integrity or the knowledge to play any role in balancing the budget.

    The misguided people who voted in these "ordinary people" should have looked for reasonable ordinary people instead of zealots.

    The tea party world view is not just fucked up, it is naive and childish. They have nn concept of the world we live in and the stupidity is spreading.

  3. Re:The problem is... on HTC Ready For Apple Patent War · · Score: 1

    Apple did not repatent multi-touch , they bought the company that had the patents.

  4. Re:anti-competition on HTC Ready For Apple Patent War · · Score: -1

    Apple did in fact invent the PDA. It is undeniable. 5 years after they invented the device, they even invented the term. Most of the current patent violations from HTC go back to that time. (the patents are actually expiring soon).

    To claim Apple had no role in the invention of the smartphone is absurd. All smartphones are simply different evolutionary successors to the newton.

    It is also silly to call Apple a patent troll. People who were violatimg these patents for years were ignored when Apple was not participating in that market. They only sue over patents that are used in current products.

    I doubt Apple would take any credit for it. When they released that iMac, they believed the floppy was already irrelevant.

    I agree with your sentiment, but you can buy digital music from Apple and Amazon still. Just because you can't pick it up, does not mean you don't own it. There is no repudiation mechanism for iTunes or Amaon music, it won't just disappear one day.
