The iPhone 2g has hardware h.264 acceleration. So why is its general purpose CPU speed relevant?

Submission + - BlackBerry sues Ryan Seacrest's Typo over 'iconic' keyboard design (networkworld.com)
alphadogg writes: BlackBerry, in an effort to protect one of its key designs, has filed a copyright infringement suit against a company co-founded by Ryan Seacrest that makes a keyboard case for the iPhone.
On Friday the struggling smartphone maker filed a lawsuit against Typo Products LLC, a company that makes a slip-on keyboard designed to fit the iPhone 5 and 5S. The company, which is based in Los Angeles, was founded by entrepreneur Laurence Hallier and television personality Ryan Seacrest. The company's flagship product, the "Typo Keyboard," was conceived to make typing on the iPhone quicker and less prone to typos.

"When you shoot steeply up or down, the shots will land high relative to the flat level zero." Does high mean an error in the same direction whether it's steeply up or steeply down? What causes that?

I see the original post is about medical regulation and your comment is kinda sorta about medical regulation; do you want to connect the dots or do you just want to talk about Obama?

The original article, which is talking about the FDA pulling the plug on a medical service due to its operator not addressing some red tape with respect to safety standards, is a good illustration of the interventionist form of "statism". Subsidized health care doesn't necessarily dictate what the medical industry can do in the same way, but taxing people and spending the money on certain kinds of health programs is definitely an economic intervention that pushes the medical industry in a certain direction. What do you think, Mr. Anon.? Did you have this similarity in mind when you wrote your post?
