Comment Re:Google should sue Apple over patent infringemen (Score 1) 334

I'm not talking about the terminology here but the concept of having a marketplace to sell apps. That said, again am not very sure if that was an 'apple concept' but it was definitely noted by Google.

I myself am not against such kind of copying by these firms (as long as the patents aren't infringed) 'cause they tend to be more competitive, making the consumer have more choices to choose from.

Agreed! Stop bitching about the price being high guys, its just like any other apple product, expensive. But those you want (need in some cases) will get it no matter. Also, in EU and Asia you pay the full price of the phone upfront and gain carrier freedom. And a decent phone is anywhere between $400-$500 unlocked anyways. This gives a great option for those living in countries the iphone is not sold yet to use it.

Except for any significant numbered episodes, most of the other State of Trance episodes are only broadcasted live. Oh yeah there are a whole lot of other websites where you can grab them for FREE but I'm not aware of any such licensed service that does every episode. Also, it has to be Armin Van Buuren, not Buren :)

Also as Intel lately admitted Apple's deep role in their roadmapping... it tells us that the Apple really isnt doing it for a fail. When it makes it into the Ivy Bridge, we will see it 'resurrect' for all who think its 'dead'.
