Comment Re:BB10 more sellable than Win8/WinRT (Score 1) 193

BB10 supports ActiveSync. So BES will no longer be needed for email integration with Exchange.

Making BB yet another Exchange client among many. What does it bring to the table here?

It means that you can use a BB10 device in a BYOD setting without IT having to install BES. Same as with an Android or iPhone.
If they want more control over the device, IT can choose to use BlackBerry Fusion which gives them similar control as BES.
Why are more options a problem?

TBH I saw this coming a mile away when I first heard of the DSi having a camera. I'm just waiting for the case of a refurbished 3ds with pics a teenager took of themselves nude.

But if you buy a refurbished 3DS with pics of a teenager, doesn't that make you guilty of both possession and purchase of kiddie-porn?

And an interesting thing about this case - Ericsson is doing to Samsung what Samsung is doing to Apple, and indeed, Ericsson's arguments are practically identical. It's a very interesting situation, to say the least. (Likewise, it's probably similar to the rates Google/Motorola are asking from Apple and Microsoft and such, too.

So, the smart thing for Samsung to do is to take it to court, make sure they lose and then use the loss as precedent against Apple.

The micro-USB charger for the phone DOES charge the Playbook.

But due to the current limitation in the phone charger it will only charge it when the playbook is in standby mode. If the playbook is in use the phone charger only supplies enough current that the playbook runs on power from the charger and thus does not use the battery.

There is no possible way for a 500 mA charger to charge a device while the device is using 450-500 mA to stay on.
However the Playbook charger which delivers more than 1A over micro-USB works perfectly fine as a quick charger for a BlackBerry phone.
Why would it have been better to NOT use micro-USB??

Prosecutors have been discovered falsifying evidence, tampering with witnesses, hiding exculpatory evidence that would exonerate the defendant, in short doing every dirty deed under the sun to win a high profile case and maybe be politically set for life. As long as our system of justice is more interested in winning than in finding justice we can expect innocent men going to prison in general and death row specifically.

Doing this should be legally considered premeditated murder (attempted murder if the victim is not convicted or gets out before getting executed) and should as a rule have a mandatory death sentence for the prosecutor.

Nothing in the Berne Convention prohibits a government from taxing Intellectual Property.
If Big Content was taxed according to the official **AA value of their properties, they would soon start delivering to public domain.

Same of course could be applied to the broadcasters with "broadcaster eternal copyright". Tax them until they either release copyrights or go bust.
