that always works

are you kidding?

the USA and others are still willing to kill people over access to natural resources

15" and 17" monitors that really aren't that big due to the bezel
smaller than advertised hard drives
hyping features that will never happen a la microsoft
lying about the competition

everyone has done it, everyone has been the target of it. that's how it goes

i've flown the delta shuttle NYC to Boston pre-911 and it was FAST. we would take the 7am to boston and be back by 5 for dinner. arrive 20 minutes before the flight and just get on the plane

post 9-11 you have to get to the airport early to stand in line, wait around and sit in your chair and wait
might as well take the train with wifi, better seating, LTE access since its outside and a power outlet by your chair so you can charge your phone

same travel time

at some point 97% of geologists believed plate tectonics was false
at some point 97% of scientists didn't believe that dino's became birds or believed that they were just the slow and lumbering lizards like in 60's movies

almost every major scientific advance has been made by a few "rogue" scientists advocating rogue theories which at one time have been dismissed by most scientists in the field

when i was a kid drug patents were 18 years like all the others
that was changed in the 90's because there is a long time frame from patenting a new drug to actually selling a product. sometimes as much as 10 years.

yep

in NYC they even added a countdown to most walk signs so you know how much time you have

and people still run red lights

NYC we have meters in no parking zones all the time. you have to read the sings.

in most of manhattan only commercial vehicles are allowed to park on the street and have to pay the meter. private cars will get towed except for sundays

in some areas you have to be a local resident to park in some places

don't drive so close behind someone

aren't you supposed to be 2-3 seconds behind someone?

foundry is not a high margin business. apple seems to be making all the money on the iphone. how much money would intel have made selling $20 chips?

you could argue they could have controlled the entire mobile chip market by now, but that is a stretch

intel owned an ARM chip maker at the time and they still have an ARM architecture license

yep, wal mart figured this out long ago

it has a policy of fighting every lawsuit, no matter how minor. keeps all the scam artists who slip in their stores on purpose away

same thing happened decades ago with product liability suits. a few companies settled and then everyone started getting sued for all kinds of "defects"

i wanted to scan the opinion, but there is none. and the decision says nonprecedential.

not a lawyer but it seems this decision cannot set a legal precedent for future cases

at the trial the alacatel VP who was sent to testify had no idea which patent newegg was violating or how they were violating it. alcatel just said you must be violating one of our 27,000 patents

this is actually the best Google I/O i've seen

game service
nice mapping
music service
awesome monetization options for developers
awesome ways for organizations to pay for apps. as an apple fan i'm shocked apple has some archaic hipster payment system for governments
awesome photo tools

no dumb glasses
minimum of idiotic talking to your phone or computer and having google tell you when to go to work
