I am hoping that something like this happens in the states. We need patent reform that is for sure. I am not an expert in this field but even I can see this is stupid. I understand why companies have and want to protect their ideas but maybe there should be an independent review board that can look at this stuff and figure out a way that both Samsung and apple can get paid for their ideas. Some common sense has to prevail at some point in time! Oh wait I am sorry I take all that back. Common sense what was I thinking!

While I really like the idea of Linux it just does not do what I want it to. I a, not technical enough to figure it out either so I run windows and OSx in my house because they work.

Or like me. I really like my Mac but I run boot camp to play Rift and some other mmos I like that don't have a Mac client. This is great news for me because I won't have to she'll out for the full version of windows.

No doubt HP does not have a good rep and windows 8 sucks.

I didn't I bought it because it really liked the iPhone. I don't care what logo is on it. I have seen android phones I like as well. I don't like the fragmentation in the android market. I don't want to spend a ton of time fixing or tinkering on my computer that in the end is why I bought it. I often recommend other computer systems to people. I just like how apple has taken the time and the quality of computer seems a lot higher.

I am not so sure. I think it is apple saying do your own damn research. For most people it looks like Samsung is cheating and took some of apple's ideas. I am not saying they did. I am saying it looks like it.

I am still sure they do some reasearch Into their products. I a, happy with all my apple products (iPhone, iPad and MacBook pro). I have never heard someone complain about them.

This really isn't a big deal for me anyway since it is cheap to upgrade to windows 8

Ya where I live you can't mention this because the whole mytho thing. Very annoying science is science.

This is the truth. I just wish I could BYOD at my workplace. They bought us dell netbooks! OMG I refuse to use a computer if I have to use that. I can't even see the screen. Fortunately I can get away with not using a computer at my job for a lot of things. Right now what I do is bring my own laptop and work on it but I don't connect to the network at all. That is better than using that piece of crap they bought teachers. (I am a grade 4 teacher btw). I am so upset about that netbook that I am seriously thinking about sending it back to the IT department and saying give it to someone else I don't want it. I wonder what they would say to that.

I am going to agree with you. The quality of the build and the ease of use are worth it. One of the main reasons that companies (at least the one I work for) doesn't buy macs is that the IT guys have no idea how to fix them. I use a mac all the time (I am not a fanboy I also use windows and linux) they are always calling me how to fix stuff. I am not an IT tech I teach grade 4! But I run a mac lab with it's own server so I guess I can read. Anyway I would take my mac lab over the other windows labs I have run. I really don't have to do that much. On the other hand if you really don't need that good a machine then by all means go buy a piece of crap. You get what you pay for. My father just bought a new computer. He bought a windows machine, which is fine I don't care either way, but I made sure he got a machine that was high quality. Less problems in the long run.

I wish apple would get on with innovating and stop all this nonsense.

Well I sure didn't like it. What the hell were they thinking with that interface?

I only trust companies to try to make money. The idea of a moral operating company is absurd. They are only accountable to shareholders. I live in Canada where we have been tightening the regulations on the banking industry. I trust my government (to an extent) because I have a vote. They just changed the mortgage regulations so they can't offer mortgages past 25 years. That makes sense to me. I am not surprised by drug companies providing false information. I hope the FDA can punish the crap out of them so that their shareholders get upset. That is the only way you will keep them honest. We have to stop thinking of business as heroes and crap. They are just out to make money and don't care about the average joe.
