I will say Apple's hardware is pretty resistant to abuse. I've been using my old 3GS sans SIM card for a while now and despite getting exposed to sub-freezing temperatures, running in down pours and getting destroyed in my pocket completely tacoing a handrail at Keystone, it still works.

Sans SIM card. That means he's using it as an mp3 player.

I'm seriously starting to hate Apple. Whereas before I merely disliked them, they're starting to make me feel active antipathy.

Cause yeah... they're exactly the same.

They don't care if you hate them. Once they've put everyone else out of business, you'll still be buying their products...

Heh, the only Apple product I have is an ancient 8g iPod Touch.

Thinking about getting rid of it and just using my phone.

Which I'll be upgrading to a GS3 as soon as I can.

Edit:

Because I didn't feel like making a new post.



This dude? Toolbox.

Got the interview from this article:
http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?stor ... 2510525390

Also: Transcript of the interview
http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-19425051

Dude has a fundamental misunderstanding of "prior art" and fobbed his definition off on the jury at large. Because of this dude, Sammy has a huge case on appeal. I hope he keeps talking. I love this guy and I want to patent his babies.

In the continuing war between Apple and Samsung, a UK judge found for Samsung and ordered Apple to post on their UK site a disclaimer saying Samsung did not copy Apple. Apple complied, sort of, with the following release, buried at the bottom of their webpage.

Spoiler:
Samsung / Apple UK judgment

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 http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Pat ... /1882.html.

In the ruling, the judge made several important points comparing the designs of the Apple and Samsung products:

"The extreme simplicity of the Apple design is striking. Overall it has undecorated flat surfaces with a plate of glass on the front all the way out to a very thin rim and a blank back. There is a crisp edge around the rim and a combination of curves, both at the corners and the sides. The design looks like an object the informed user would want to pick up and hold. It is an understated, smooth and simple product. It is a cool design."

"The informed user's overall impression of each of the Samsung Galaxy Tablets is the following. From the front they belong to the family which includes the Apple design; but the Samsung products are very thin, almost insubstantial members of that family with unusual details on the back. They do not have the same understated and extreme simplicity which is possessed by the Apple design. They are not as cool."

That Judgment has effect throughout the European Union and was upheld by the Court of Appeal on 18 October 2012. A copy of the Court of Appeal’s judgment is available on the following link http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWCA/Civ/2012/1339.html. There is no injunction in respect of the registered design in force anywhere in Europe.

However, in a case tried in Germany regarding the same patent, the court found that Samsung engaged in unfair competition by copying the iPad design. A U.S. jury also found Samsung guilty of infringing on Apple's design and utility patents, awarding over one billion U.S. dollars in damages to Apple Inc. So while the U.K. court did not find Samsung guilty of infringement, other courts have recognized that in the course of creating its Galaxy tablet, Samsung willfully copied Apple's far more popular iPad.


Yesterday, the UK judge came back and told them to rewrite their notice and put it on the front page.

Good times, good times...

Want to offload it second hand? I assume 16gb RAM? ;)


Too late ;-p You didnt get back to me, so I bought my own.

Very happy. Mountain Lion is a significant upgrade over snow leopard, the gestures are f**kin awesome, and for me, moving from a core duo to a quad i7 with 16gb RAM is fantastic... especially as I run virtual machines for win7 and ubuntu (sh, now.) too.

Syncing up my itunes library was the only real pain - I hate getting that library ID the same everywhere.
