This sort of "apology" is the sort of thing I expect from a petulant child and should be corrected swiftly and definitively.

Didn't the court actually instruct Apple exactly what it should write? Why not just write the notice for Apple and have them post it on their website instead of leaving it up to Apple's lawyers to set the wording?

However, I still had to LOL after reading it. Apple really has balls as big as its war chest. Bravo, Apple, bravo.

I think MS is following Gandhi's quote:

but I think they stopped at step two.

Believe it or not, this is true. It's like high school all over again.

I was talking with a friend of mine about phones (I have a dumb phone) and mentioned that it seemed people were dismissive of my choice to keep the phone I had. Noting that I was too old to care about such things anymore, I mused that having the latest smartphone does not automatically make you cool. To which she replied "Yes it does!".

I was amused until I realized she was serious. This is from a professional engineer.

RIM and MS are screwed.

Does anyone know why two American companies are suing each other in Germany? Are these German patents?

And why bother suing in Germany when the US courts apparently think that they have jurisdiction in Germany too.

Yeah, I was confused too. The article and summary refer to "mobile" broadband, yet TFA clearly quotes Lance Ulanoff referring to just broadband (not mobile).

That's three levels of "rights" to take into consideration. Is Mobile communications a right? Is Broadband a right? And THEN on top of that, is *mobile* broadband a right?

You must have missed the part where the dude was 52 years old. They should fucking throw him in jail for a dozen years and pass a law that mandates the link to this video be included with every laser purchase.

Common sense? Where was common sense from this 52 y.o.?

Just to throw out something else to consider:

"Outside temperatures, sun exposure and gender may trigger glaucoma"

Without having read the full paper, it seems to me that what they're saying is that your location has a lot to do with the risk. Perhaps it's the extra exposure to UV/Sunlight from snow reflection? So it makes sense that TFA finds an increase in risk for people in Scandinavian regions.

Of course you can.

I did it a year ago and have never looked back

Of course, whether or not FB actually deletes your data is another matter.

Sorry, but that's just sensationalism and spin, and it misstates what the paper concludes.

The paper you cite says that the 1,200 lives that were lost between 9/11/01 and 2003 "can be attributed solely to the reaction to 9/11," of which the TSA is only a part of, such as fear of flying, fear of terrorism, unemployment, airline ticket prices, and such.

I loathe the TSA as much as the next /.er but misrepresenting facts just weakens your arguments.

Can't tell if that was an allusion to the Simpsons but it's oh-so-fitting.
