News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

The reason for the injunction is that the judge agree that the patent is valid (prior art examples are invalid).

Apple's own App Store twitter account promoted it. I am guessing bugs are due to it being v1.0.

GPS is not accurate in doors. So companies are trying to use wifi stations to triangulate (but what if they moved the wifi stations?)
But isn't Google's motto open and free?
Re:It’s Not the File Size That’s Killing iPad Magazines on Thursday March 22, 2012 @03:18AM (#3738779)
1. That's not normal. I've used magazine apps on iPad 1 to iPad 3 and I haven't seen one that "forgets" who I am. 2. Magazines can pre-download on iPad. It's been that way for awhile. 3. Agree. Many of those involved don't understand the new medium. 4. Agree. It's the problem of the publishing / content industry.
Apple is already buying quite a lot of fuel cells AND solar panels for its datacenters.
Re:I'm not a "curator" on Tuesday March 13, 2012 @12:55AM (#3697095)
The problem is that New York Times and certain big media sites were recently caught copying / rewriting blogger posts without linking or crediting the source.

Perhaps two odd symbols will solve the problem.

Re:If Android is a "stolen product," then so was the iPhone on Thursday February 23, 2012 @02:27PM (#3626324)
The problem is, Apple made the unfinished parc products usable, and invented drag and drop. Here from page 4 of an article:

>I can only watch some DVDs I ripped myself on my iPad because I got the VLC app during its short airtime on the App Store. :(

DVD you rip can be played in the default app on iPad. No need for VLC.

There are plenty of App Store apps that allows AVI, MKV, and even .fla videos. I use Cinexplayer. Another iOS app was free this week that plays all kinds of media files.

What about using spam filters + Disqus?

<1% of spam gets through by using spam filters.

Re:WordPress has left the building on Tuesday January 10, 2012 @02:26PM (#3448545)
Exactly.

The author does not understand that if a theme is designed properly, an admin can mark comment as spam without editing the post. In addition, just about every single thing he thinks core Wordpress lacks can be added easily with a plug-in.

Re:Google+ Is Going To Mess Up The Internet on Thursday January 05, 2012 @04:15AM (#3428039)
So, a self-proclaimed "technology evangelist" doesn't know how to properly credit someone? You are essentially saying you have no clue how Google search works?
Re:Samsung Copies 5 Scenes from 2 Apple Ads + Steals Actress on Monday January 02, 2012 @01:15PM (#3416751)
With 7+ billion people on earth, Samsung shouldn't have to hire the same actress.
That version is very basic. Dipperstove's version is much better in terms of design.

When did a fashion house spend billions of dollars on R&D, a requirement for most significant tech products?

Please read "Are software patents evil?" http://www.roughlydrafted.com/2011/08/09/are-software-patent...

So, WebOS programs is suppose to work on Windows Phone Nintendo games are suppose to work on Sony Playstation? Using your own words, Android "got customers by their balls in a way that Microsoft only dreams of" because Android Market doesn't work on a Dell.
You are confusing Google with Apple.

Apple doesn't make money on its App Store. It has a great app store to sell devices.

In contrast, Google gives away adware products to earn more money (by tracking and spying on Android users).

Please note the original patent filing date of Feb. 1, 1996
