ok, but the question is, how can this be used for the good of torrents?

Apple...one of the few brands in the world that is being hated, not for bad experiences with a product, but for its popularity and massive userbase. Buy it (and review it) or don't buy it, but seriously, this apple/google (sony/nintendo/microsoft, windows/linux/osx) flaming has to end. Go support a football team or…

On the upside, the drug is being used as a cheap (insane) replacement for heroin, but looking at gas prices, this drug might get more expensive than heroin soon enough.

Krokodil Tears: The Craziest Drug You’ve Never Heard Of (Here)? But on a serious note, this drug could be the poster-image for anti-drug campaigns.

Except, that i heard about it before, on gawker's io9 or australian giz...

Look, ideally you are right. But in reality it's a matter of how the law works. Apple copies, so does every other company, even if they do innovate. The point is not to get caught, work around or within the law. In the case of the case against samsung, they worked the patent law, they HAD to, because if they didn't…

ergo, your claim is emotional stemming from a problem you have with the success of a company; apple. Fortunately that doesn't mean the law follows emotion.

actually, it's true. The same goes for patents: If the company can prove that the company holding the trademark/patent was aware of other companies using the same design (and let's be honest here, this design is almost generic for clocks), they have the obligation to sue/license or forfeit their rights.

Wasn't android open source?

The fact that it took apple some time to sue has nothing to do with android's success, but the fact that prior to any legal action a lot of research needs to be done, i think it's safe to assume that jobs went ballistic the moment the first android touch phone was released. This article points out correctly that…

And it's this execution that google has been copying. You don't see apple suing microsoft over developing a touch-screen phone, since it's simply not a copy but a parallel innovation in the same marketplace.

I think you mean Xerox, who fathered the modern day personal computer, as it happens, xerox voluntarily let apple learn from their research prototype as xerox themselves didn't see this product fitting the consumer market.

This apple hatred is becoming at least as sad as being an apple fanboy.

First of all you first post wasn't too long :) i just felt you focused too much on the part i did agree with.

I think you may have gone a bit overboard with that reply, i do agree that language evolves, heck if it wouldn't we'd have far less and different sounding languages. Just compare classic literature to a random blog. Some new words arise, some change and some don't. But there are some rules to that process and it…

A word like decimate has a very clear base in the word decimal, which is of course from the latin word of decem (10).

Hell no it's not ok, in most cases. If it's for a word like 'cool', sure, go ahead, redefine it whenever you feel like it, it won't have any implications. But technical terms arise as a standard so everyone can understand what everyone is talking about, especially in a professional, academic or scientific environment.

hmmm, one of the results was some dude with his face painted like heat ledger's joker....

I agree with that vision on one level, but if you fundamentally look at it, outside of reality there is nothing (we know of or can prove (yet) anyways).

On every page there is a section: 'directions for improvement'. In most of the cases the improvement direction is to do it the 'apple' way explicitly....
