Submission + - Apple faking evidence?

mrwolf007 writes: The legal battle between Apple and Samsung over the import ban on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in the EU is getting increasingly redicilous. First Apple won an injunction against Samsung. Later in turned out that Apple filed the case in the wrong court (google translation). Thought you heard it all by now?
Now reports show that Apple even faked evidence (google translation) to aquire the injunction.

Oh, wait a tick, that hasn't been true for nearly FIVE years now since on Vista and 7 both run IE under low rights mode something even Linux doesn't have.

sudo -u $browseruser /usr/bin/firefox
Just create a seperate user for browsing if you dont want the browser messing around with your files. Sure, requires configuring sudoers, but not exactly rocket science.

To be fair, I have never had any malware with OSX and I'm certain I will not..

Welcome to relevant market share.

We Linux guys got the problems long enough, i also had to reinstall a VM because i forgot to change a default password.

You think XServe is dead because it was better?

As far as i can tell as a non-american is that Fox News is a pretty lowly news outlet.

However that doesnt automaticly mean the story cant be true.

Just start assuming the opposite. "There are no duplicates within the millions of plants discovered." In a database of that size, with manually made entries for well over a 100 years, highly unlikely.

So, without further knowledge, one can only speculate about the percentage of duplicate entries.

Ubuntu is doing a lot of work on multitouch right now... I'm keeping my fingers crossed that at least some of these could have reasonably open drivers for their hardware.

The WeTab runs a modified version of MeeGo, but runs Ubuntu just as well. All the drivers work (including the Crystal HD decoder card). The hardware is pretty much identical to the ExoPC, so that should run Ubuntu just as well.

Comment Re:But what created the law of gravity? (Score 1) 1328

The news about Hawking's upcoming book challenges this argument, but unfortunately the article doesn't give details on why Hawking believes that the law of gravity proves that something can be created from nothing. If that can be proven (and I doubt it really can) then we can no longer prove that God exists with the above argument, and we are left with only faith.

Something appearing out of nothing?
Happens all the time, Pair production due to Quantum fluctuation.
Negating the thought with the time limit brought by the Uncertainty principle is impossible as the is no way of knowing if time even exists outside the boundaries of our universe.
