Last time i checked all the new iphones have high-definition screens, and some of the newer android devices even exceed HD resolutions. So, a tiny 6" screen has more definition than a giant 600" screen.
Next, you stand considerably further away from a large screen, so a large screen occupies the same area on your visual field as a small screen which you hold closer to your face. The end result is the same.
Based on these facts, there is no technical merit nor reason for charging based on screen size. Instead of coming up with useful services to earn revenue, they waste their time trying to find more ways to nickel and dime their customers.

Why does Java have C's syntax? Java entirely ripped off the C syntax to ride on C's fan base.

If implementing your API based on another language API is a copyright violation, then I don't see why implementing your syntax based on another language's syntax isn't a copyright violation.

This whole case reeks of rent-seeking. It's disgusting and frustrating. Imagine how much faster technology would evolve if people competed by making better stuff instead...

The world of technology has always been a ruthless race, the ones that fall behind get gobbled up. But in the past decade the contenders are spending majority of their time trying to stab the other contenders instead of actually racing. Imagine in the Olympics, 100m dash, the runners are ready to run, the gun goes off.... and the runners start throwing dirt at each other's faces instead of actually racing. Sure, the runner who throws most dirt and kills the other runners will be able to get to the finish line first... but there will be no winners! EVERYONE loses!

New & Improved Polygraph: Now with 100% more butt-probe to detect butt cheek squeezing cheaters.

Easy! convince yourself deep down that your lie is in fact not a lie. With enough training, you can internally legitimize even the most absurd nonsense you can think of. There are 6 million Mormons, living proof.

WiN!

They're talking about percentage.

Majority of Americans know that Snowden isn't a traitor. This means if Snowden is a traitor in government's eyes, then the majority of Americans are also traitors in government's eyes. If majority of American are considered traitors,

I will NEVER buy another Grand Theft Auto game, ever.

Greed is the real problem. Today's crony capitalism is just the latest way for the destructive force of unchecked greed to manifest itself. Greed consumes.

Animals never drown quietly. They will grab at anything nearby to prolong their futile final struggle. Companies are the same way.
Microsoft is gasping for air.
Sony has swallowed some water.
RIM is already face down in the water.
Apple is only neck deep but its life jacket died a year ago.

Their demise is inevitable, all they can do is delay it.

Yep... that's the "patent". Let's narrow this down a bit:

Let's refactor this:
"within a data network" - where else is he going to search? What if he's in a car? and who cares where he's searching?
"user searching for desired information" - what other kind of information would he ever search for, undesired information? That's the whole point of "searching" is to find desired for information, so let's shorten that to "user searching" to get rid of redundancy.
"to a user searching" - Who cares what the user happens to be doing at the time? What if they're scratching their ass, and the machine serves ads to the user scratching his ass? What the user happens to be doing is irrelevant.
"machine which provides advertisements to a user" - what if the user is a web-crawler? Your invention will still work if it's a web crawler randomly pretending to be a user, so the invention is providing advertisements to not just a user, but to any client that connects. So we don't need to specify the "to a user" part either.
"This invention relates to" - this is the abstract for your invention, we know what you're talking about already, don't repeat.
"an advertisement machine which provides advertisements" - What else would an advertisement machine do? make coffee? By definition an advertisement machine is a machine that provides advertisements. Let's simplify this to "an advertisement machine"

After removing all the fluff, we're left with just:

Good job! This patent would be awesome if you also invented a time machine, because ads have been around for a very long time.

Who do you think the SEC works for?

I have progressive and I went ahead with their snapshot program. It's really neat because I would go on the web site every night and look at my driving record. The web site displays the time, driving speed, time and duration of each ride, along with number of "hard stops" made. It considers a velocity drop over 7mph/s to be a "hard stop". I hardly ever made hard stops.
I had that device plugged in for six months. During those six months I made a round trip to Florida. Most of the trip I was going at least 80mph, sometimes 90 and occasionally I exceeded 100mph. It was all recorded and displayed in the graphs on the web site. Overall, I drove like a speed demon, but my hard stops averaged to less than 0.1 hard stops per hour of driving.
After the six months were over, my insurance rate went down 27%. My insurance rate was already fairly low to begin with, so 27% amounts to just a few dollars per month.

but they should do everyone a favor and give Ubuntu CDs to everyone. There are less and less reasons to use Windows. Goodbye Microsoft, and good riddance.

Not at all. The only danger is if you eat two neodymium magnets more than a few minutes apart but within a 24 hour period. If you eat one, nothing happens, it comes in your poop. If you eat several at same time, nothing happens, you poop several at same time. The problem is that small intestine crosses near itself in countless places. If two magnets are traveling in different parts of the small intestines that cross closely they will start to pinch, and the prolonged pinching will eventually perforate the intestines. Magnets are fun, but they are serious toys, not something you hand over to someone who can't understand the consequences of ingesting questionable items.

No, staying in public eye will do nothing. Despite all the brainwashing by the media, the majority of American public feels Snowden is a whistle-blower, not a traitor. Yet the government still pursues him as a traitor. There is a huge disconnect between government and people. The government no longer does what's best for the people, the government does what's best for the government at the cost of people. Revealing that the government does unethical things that harm the governed is considered treason. Eventually, speaking out against your government will become a crime as well.
