Bacon slurpee in one chamber and pure lard in the other! My heart jus started beating faster...I think it's joy.

and wait there until June? ;0)

yeah, but it doesn't have a nifty valve thing.

Agreed. Some copyright law is absolutely ridiculous, my intent is not to defend those practices, but specifically with regard to UI I think a lot of companies stick with the standard block and grid UI format (which probably didn't originate with apple) , but maybe, just maybe this will encourage the UI designers to…

So if I use half sauce and half beef it's still 99.9% beef?

When I'm cooking with ground beef I'm starting with 100% beef. I add spices, sauce, herbs, mushrooms, tomatoes, onions. Is the beef still 100% beef or does something else make up a percentage of it's constitution. If the meat, in even the smallest way absorbed anything I put into it is it pure 100% or less than?

Can the opposite not be true? Because Apple is making it so difficult to use a UI even vaguely similar to theirs, it may force the competition to further innovate so that their UI looks different in every way and that could possibly create a UI way better than what Apple is offering.

Not if they have a binding contract to supply those parts.

I'm not sure that the launch date means nearly as much as original patent date in the real world. For example a company could steal another companies intellectual property and use some of their ui patents and quickly rush launch a product (with less test time and lab time) than the company who rightfully owns the…

I don't think apples complaint has anything to do with 4g/4G... mainly because they do not have a single product that uses the moniker 4g/4G. If you're referring to their latest phone it is just the "iPhone 4" ....no "g". This has to do with the look and feel of the ui on the Samsung line of smart devices. Personally…

Reposting my comment to one of the other commenters here... because it applies.

Agreed. And I've mentioned this before in a previous Tim Cook article on Giz, but why does it matter that he's gay. "Hey look, there's a gay man and he's successful." To me that's incredibly condescending. It's like saying, hey look he made it all the way to being CEO, even though he's black. We really need to be…

Is calling it a "circuit board thingy" not reinforcing a gender stereotype? ;0)

Bob Slydell: Would you bear with me for just a second, please?

And you know, if there is ever a grizzly murder in that office he'll be the first one they blame without a shred of evidence.

Agreed....I mean, look how still it's standing. ;0)

Best customer service ever! They treat customers like gold. I broke my kindle screen. My fault. They sent me a free replacement and payed for the shipping both of the new device and the return of the old device. They have a customer for life.

I'm gonna assume this was sarcasm and give your little airport a chuckle and a smile.

Can I have an Amen! I live in Canada and use Witopia to access Hulu. So instead of Hulu and Networks getting more money from location based ip advertising I give 60 bucks a year to Witopia to free me from the limitations. The Network Head Honcho's aren't that smart.

This wasn't a camera crew, but raw footage from the British CCTV cameras that are everywhere. ;0)
