My guess is they're likely just planning to remove any references to Afrasiabi from the game. From wowpedia:

There are many references to Afrasiabi, and his characters Furor Planedefiler and Kariel in Warcraft, usually referencing "Foror". "Tigule" is a reference to Jeffrey Kaplan, whose alias is Tigole. Afrasiabi and Kaplan were both members of high-end EverQuest guilds, explaining the many references to "Tigule and Foror".

Pathstalker Kariel, Skeletal Remains of Kariel Winthalus ( [Libram of Rapidity]), [Alex's Ring of Audacity], [Peep's Whistle], Foror's Compendium of Dragon Slaying, Foror's Eyepatch, [Foror's Crate of Endless Resist Gear Storage], [Foror's Wipe Neutralizer], Tigule and Foror's Strawberry Ice Cream, Autographed Picture of Foror & Tigule, Fras Siabi's Advertisement, Alliance Field Marshal Afrasiabi, Mob Fras Siabi (The Great Fras Siabi, Siabi's Premium Tobacco), Neutral Lord Afrasastrasz, Fras Siabi's Postbox Key, Fras Siabi's Smoked Cologne, Fras Siabi's Cigar Cutter, Fras Siabi's Barely Bigger Beer, Brain Freeze

So basically they've copied the apple Dock. Guess old habits are hard to break.

It's not if they make money off of repairs. It's that they make the repair process so difficult that people don't bother and just replace their phone/computer with a new one. That's where they make their money.

Telus cellphones run on the Bell network, and most telephone and Internet traffic from Telus goes over the nation wide Bell Internet backbone

Not completely true. Telus definitely has their own backbone. Particularly west of Ontario. They do have a cell tower sharing agreement with Bell and if you use a Telus cell phone in Ontario or East you will likely be using a Bell tower. This is true of many carriers though (like Freedom outside their core calling areas). Also, I believe Bell phones use Telus towers in many areas west of Ontario.

But Google didn't implement a JVM. They created a completely new virtual machine called Dalvik (later replaced by ART in 4.4+). Dalvik didn't even use the same underlying operating principles. The JVM is stack based whereas Dalvik was register based. They did provide a tool that would convert JVM bytecode to Dalvik bytecode but Google did not recreate or put a native JVM into Android.

This whole lawsuit is about Google copying the Java library declarations (so yes, the int round(float) parts). Google reimplemented all the underlying code themselves. Only the declarations themselves and the class hierarchy remained the same.

Just like the Wii, the Wii U locks all downloadable content to the console, not the account. So if your console breaks, is lost, or stolen have fun re-buying all that content. You also can't use your network ID on another console. Want to play that game you bought on your friends machine? Tough, not possible.

This is the main reason I refuse to buy any more Nintendo consoles. It's also the number one reason I regret buying my Wii as well. In my mind, until they fix this, online content actually reduces the value of a Nintendo console.

In Canada fuel sales are volume corrected (to 15C) so regardless of the temperature of the fuel you pay for the same amount.

All? Will there be an Xbox 8, or will that have to wait for Windows 9?

Well they did push out Xbox SmartGlass along side the Windows 8 launch. That along with all the recent dashboard updates pretty much gives you the "Windows 8 experience" on the Xbox. So yes, Xbox 8 is already here.

The required content of the notice was clearly given. Adding stuff before or after the specified content changes the notice from what was specified. If they wanted to post a second ad/webpage giving their point of view they were well within their rights to do so. But by combining the two into one they didn't fulfill the order. The order states the material part of the notice should contain the "apology". One can hardly claim the material part of Apple's notice was the prescribed message. You have 2 lines of text followed by 5 paragraphs denigrating them. The material part of the notice is no longer the prescribed text so they didn't satisfy the order.

The judges ruling clearly states:

As a result of his second judgment, Judge Birss ordered that:

        Within seven days of the date of this Order [18th July 2012] [Apple] shall at its own expense (a) post in a font size no smaller than Arial 11pt the notice specified in Schedule 1 to this order on the homepage of its UK website ... as specified in Schedule 1 to this Order, together with a hyperlink to the Judgment of HHJ Birss QC dated 9th July 2012, said notice and hyperlink to remain displayed on [Apple's] websites for a period of six months from the date of this order or until further order of the Court (b) publish in a font size no smaller than Arial 14pt the notice specified in Schedule 1 to this Order on a page earlier than page 6 in the Financial Times, the Daily Mail, The Guardian, Mobile Magazine and T3 magazine.

And

The material part of the notice specified in Schedule 1 reads:

        On 9th July 2012 the High Court of Justice of England and Wales ruled that Samsung Electronic (UK) Limited's Galaxy Tablet Computer, namely the Galaxy Tab 10.1, Tab 8.9 and Tab 7.7 do not infringe Apple's registered design No. 0000181607-0001. A copy of the full judgment of the High court is available on the following link [link given]

The judge specifically spelled out what Apple was suppose to post. Apple didn't follow these instruction by attaching all the other cruft to the ad therefore they haven't fulfilled the court order.

Well there was Nobel Prize awarded for the production of liquid helium so I guess one could call it a Nobel gas.

I did the same thing. I picked it up browsing the shelves and there was absolutely nothing on the book suggesting it was the third of a series. Slogging through the first hundred pages was a little painful and I eventually came to the conclusion there must be previous books but by then I was on the road and had pieced together enough of the back story that I just pushed through and finished it. In a way I think that made the somewhat abrupt resolution to the Inhibitors a bit more palatable. If I had invested in two other books about the war against the Inhibitors I may have been a little more miffed at the resolution. As such I've had no desire to read the previous books so can't comment on the. Gap though was well written.

In a far off, seldom visited corner of my companies campus is a wall of patents granted over the years. A few weeks ago I found myself browsing them and noticed one of them was for a proximity sensor on a phone. In this case it was designed to automatically switch the phone from normal mode to speaker phone depending on proximity but it doesn't take a genius to see other uses for this. It was granted in 1998. Apple "steals" from other companies just as much as they claim people steal from them.

But you can't watch them via a streamed connection as the case against Zediva has shown. Zediva bought individual discs and streamed them on a one-to-one basis to users. For all intents the user had rented a real physical disc but because it was streamed over a network the courts deemed it a violation of copyright. So no, streaming companies cannot just buy used or new discs from just anyone. This would be the same as requiring all used car lots to buy their cars from the licensed dealer (no car auctions, no trade-ins, no private purchases).
