Yes, it's been a long time.
Yes, I hope to try it out...I did a
little with OpenCDE, because I wanted to see how it worked, and I enjoyed it. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

The Handspring/Palm Treo used a white handset (with almost
the same angle) on a green background several years before
the iPhone came out. I guess they stole an Apple future
"innovation." None of the other icons shown on Slash Gear
even come close to matching. And this is supposed to be the
strength of Apple's patent case? What a joke.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Did Apple try to kill an old lady? At first it may seem unlikely, but, who
knows? Apple has targeted a lot lately.
She is not the kind of customer Apple wants, according to some: "Apple
wants to be cool and modern and have the type of architecture that would appeal
to the tech crowd"

But, killing her with a blunt blow on the nose would appear a bit harsh, I
gather.

10 weird tech patents and patent applications [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

The U.S. House of
Representatives voted late Thursday to send a message to the United Nations'
International Telecommunication Union that the Internet doesn't need new
international regulations. The vote was unanimous: 414-0.
Now, if
only the U.S. would keep hands off the legitimate Internet use in other
countries. Just because a web site has a .com URL, it should not fall under
U.S. jurisdiction. Nor should legal gambling sites in other countries be
interfered with by the U.S. government. Perhaps, the U.S. would like it if
other countries, such as Iran or China tried forcing their policies on U.S.
sites.

Here's a simple solution for Samsung:
Samsung's phones should be packaged in a plain black box (exactly like iPhone's
box, but black instead of white), with the only thing on the front being
"NOT an iPhone" in vibrant red colour.
Samsung should make their campaign around that slogan. Repeat it over and over
and over. Then no one could accuse them of causing confusion (well, knowing the
legal system they still would).
Also, where's consumer protection in all this? Having similar interfaces is
*beneficial to the consumer* as I can switch from iPhone to Android and expect
things to work more or less the same. It's also a benefit to me that I know
which icon to press to dial the phone. I want them to be the same. Does the
court not care about this stuff?[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
