hahaha, nothing new in the iPhone, oh man you're good. do you get paid to do this, or? if there was nothing new in the iPhone then why didn't every phone look like the iPhone before rather than after? do you people even read what you write before you hit submit? holy jesus.

I can't believe people still say this. It is not and never has been correct. The Lisa team already had a GUI before the visit to PARC, and the interface that the Lisa and then Mac ended up with had nothing to do with Smalltalk, or even each other for that matter (except for the underlying drawing architecture, LisaGraf/QuickDraw, both being written by Bill Atkinson). You should check your facts next time.

Considering the sales bans are on Android tablets, I seriously doubt the change between "not selling any" and "not allowed to sell any" will affect their bottom line.

Thank you for signing up and owning his ass. I was so frustrated with everyone here saying the warrant was "illegal" just because the article implied it was so. My god people are stupid. I wish I had mod points to give you. Your posts were all excellent and yet the coward that claimed you were wrong didn't even bother to respond because you owned him so thoroughly.

They were not unlawfully seized. Jesus. Does no one read? Withdrawing a warrant doesn't make it illegal. Warrants can be withdrawn for any number of reasons. In this case, Chen chose to cooperate so to avoid ambiguity at trial they withdrew the warrant because they effectively had his permission to search his property. Even *if* the warrant was found to be illegal it doesn't matter because Chen authorized the search at a later date. All of the evidenced seized was seized legally, and it remains so.

As has been previously pointed out, the warrant was issued legally. It was withdrawn later because Chen chose to cooperate and withdrawing it removed any ambiguity. Withdrawal does not imply illegality. That is a logical fallacy.

If the Gizmodo editors were registered iOS devs (which they probably are), then they were bound by the NDA.

I... I have no words.

Yeah, let us know when that actually happens.

There's been absolutely no proof that anything happened other than some guy somewhere claimed some people showed up to his house saying such and such. IMO, it's way more likely it was just some Joe Schmoe lying to get into the tabloids rather than anything actually having happened, but retards here on Slashdot love a good anti-Apple story, lack of facts be damned.

That's a tough one. I'd say worse, but "boxes" is pretty godawful too. At least it's just quirky. "Fanboi" is somehow childish.

Of course, "virii" is the absolute worst because it immediately lets everyone know exactly how much of a pseudo-intellectual you are.

I'd sure like to see data on that. If you mean club stores, maybe, but I don't shop at club stores.

That's great, but they can check their cashiers on THEIR time. They're not paying me to test their cashiers or their inventory tracking system, so straight to hell with that.

Speaking of Baltimore, I had scarce been living here a year when I got arrested for this very thing. There's a badly designed intersection in my neighborhood that has resulted in the deaths of too many, and I document them to protest to the city to put in turn signals. This particular wreck was very bloody and messy, and both my fiancée and myself were taking pictures of the scene. Immediately two fat cops came running over telling us we couldn't take pictures because it "makes our cameras evidence." We were told if we deleted them we might be "allowed" to leave. I told them they were full of it and that I knew my rights. There's no way taking pictures of a wreck on public property is illegal (and I didn't take any pictures of any dead people, just the wreckage, they were gone before I got there). I even explained the purpose of these photos. One cop said if I didn't delete them in front of her, she'd arrest me, confiscate my phone, break it, and then release me without charges. She did just that. I filed many complaints, talked to lawyers, but she didn't break the law so I'm told.

There were tons of news people there recording the scene. There was a large towering apartment building with people taking pictures up there, but I guess harassing two young 20 somethings enforcing fictional laws is less work for the Baltimore police.

I simply don't have the time to argue with your particular brand of stupid. Asking me to do my homework when you've clearly never read the GPL is cause enough for me to abandon all hope for you.
