On any single monitor, more than two applications can be run simultaneously. Instead of Windows 8's fixed split, where one application gets 320 pixels and the other application gets the rest, the division between apps will be variable. It'll also be possible to have multiple windows from a single app so that, for example, two browser windows can be opened side-by-side.

This is sounding a lot like a tiling window manager to me.

Read the law in question, which was from 2009 and amended in 2012. It's made with modern phones in mind, and it was specifically written to combat texting:

As used in this section “write, send, or read a text-based communication” means using an electronic wireless communications device to manually communicate with any person using a text-based communication, including, but not limited to, communications referred to as a text message, instant message, or electronic mail.

Using GPS is not manually communicating with a person. The law does not apply to reading text on a phone in any context other than communications with another person.

I don't see any problem here. Apple took one million pre-orders before selling out. I'd say their supply chain is absolutely fantastic. Who else can push a million units in such a short time like that? Nobody, that's who.

In 2009, Amazon's corporate revenues were $26.53B. For the same year, the entire RIAA's revenues were only $6.3B.

Amazon should be able to swat them down like a fly.

In California, where both Apple and Lala are based, non-compete clauses in contracts are automatically void.

The British people are strangely proud of the ungainly BS 1363 plug. No surprise at all that it won the comparison.
