Simple, you measure the cost of your data bundle in libraries of congress, then divide by the weight of a library of congress...

18 baht meals? Guessing that was a long time ago... I had a 30 baht khao kha moo an hour ago and I'm already hungry again...

Bingo

My gut feeling is this man decided to do a bit of publicity whoring, and the watch & boots were made deliberately to get himself picked up

Ah, roast scapegoat...

Talk about clickbait headlines... tfa says it's an $80,000,000 smuggling ring that's been busted...

This isn't some little old ladies smuggling a few iPhones in their suitcase for the price of a meal...

Can you smell the irony, of posting this "bring back 4:3" crap on a site whose layout takes full advantage of widescreen.

And a 16:9 (or even better, 16:10) widescreen monitor in landscape mode shows TWO clean, full-sized sheets of A4 side by side (or one A3), jackass.

4:3 needs to die. Deserves to die. Is a dinosaur, aesthetically.

To claim that anything is exploit proof requires a level of arrogance and/or stupidity I hadn't thought possible outside of government.

If the verdict was 'the opposite', no. But nice try at cleverly wording the question.

Would I still feel the same way I do now if the verdict was against whichever party was guilty, regardless of whether it was Samsung or Apple - absolutely.

Non, non, non... No need to wait for 3...2...1... for French bashing, just get stuck right in there.

Wait... cue in 1, 2, 3????

Are you French?

You're forgetting the insanity in the UK, this stupidity has been going on for years, a lot longer than people realise. Take Kwik Fit (UK vehicle maintenance franchise) for example...

I was bemused as a kid, when they started all this shit. "Home taping is killing music". My arse. Yeah, I'm sure *I* killed the Bay City Rollers because I put them on a mixtape for my gf. Or mmmh, dontcha think maybe they just went out of fashion?

Now, decades later the whine is louder than ever. Sad.

I hate to break it to you, but aircraft don't use GPS for landing.

It's the difference between your car telling you to turn left "here" when it actually means the junction 45m up the road. Which admittedly could be an even bigger problem for the special kind of twit who already drives into walls "because the satnav told me to".

PLEASE tell me you're joking, calling the nanosim an LTE patent AND an 'original' patent. It's a SIM CARD with a few mm shaved off it. No functional difference whatsoever from a credit-card sized sim card (the original form factor). In fact, you could take an original credit card sized sim card and a pair of scissors, and make it work in any iPhone up to and including the 5.

Once again, they have successfully patented a shape. Please.

Hello. My 2011 Samsung Galaxy S2 (which is currently connected to my TV and Surround amp) called you and would like a word...

Been using touchscreen BB since the storm. Truly a horrible machine, hardware-wise, and the storm 2 wasn't much better. But, and I suspect I may be in a minority, I still prefer my storm 2 touchscreen to my SGS2 for one simple reason - the hardware "click". I've lost count of the number of times I've cursed at Android for following a link (i.e. picking up a 'click') when I'm actually just trying to scroll. Never happened on the BB, not even once.

As for bb and "keyboard-centeredness" I came from a Bold 9700 to the Storm, and if I had a time machine and could go back, I'd give up the keyboard in exchange for display real-estate again in a heartbeat, despite the shortcomings of the storm. I did curse, throw fits and desperately miss the physical keyboard for a couple of weeks but after that, I became accustomed to the touch keyboard and now don't miss the physical keyboard at all...

I'm not convinced the keyboard alone accounted for "80% of the popularity". For me I could care less - it's BBM and Push/Notifications that make it my choice of 'business' phone.

Are you perhaps referring to the Apple PDA (August '93) that they shamelessly copied from the Casio/Tandy Zoomer (June '92)
