And didn't Opera do roughly the same thing shortly before the release of Opera Mini on the App store?

But to the wrong paper, as stated in TFA.

Hrm, if you read TFA you'll notice the part

This version of UnQL has no relation to an identically named unstructured data query language proposed by a University of Pennsylvania researcher over a decade ago, Phillips said.

which funnily enough is linked in the summery.
Maybe you should fix this to point to the actual link in TFA http://wwww.unqlspec.org/ ?

Try reading that again. It says "Bluetooth car kit functionality is limited to audio output. Additional car kit features are not supported on iPad.".

Why? Everything important will sooner or later appear on /. anyway.

Yeah, those are much better! http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2010/03/usb_combination.html ;)

It's also a pleasing experience when you go back t o extend functionality, think to yourself "Now why didn't the developer provide this API functionality?" and soon after discover that he not only did, but also provided the functionality you were working on. Even nicer when it happens over a 5 year timespan.

Does anyone believe Britney has any actual talent outside of shaking her ass?

And that's precisely what makes her an artist and not a musicician.
Which I actually believe is the bigger issue here. If someone can't sing, can't write, can't play, but can shake his/her ass and generally take the life of being an artist (not saying Britney can though), let's call them an artist.
However, let's not confuse them with the persons who are actually making the music.

Or how about Lucasarts' Habitat for even more prior art?

Nope, they remade Solitaire for the Vista versions that includes it.
