The two potential lies that I see in the PR are the person's identity (probably not considered material, therefore irrelevant) and the reason for wanting the trademark (acronym for IP Application Development). If that statement is considered fraudulent, it's a problem.

Here's a good primer on fraud in negotiations: [lgst.wharton.upenn.edu] . Long story short, if Apple (via IPAD ltd) misrepresented why they wanted the trademark, that would generally be considered fraud.

Forever alone?

"could even eliminate the need for in vitro fertilization"

I know—I just find the story of the president as a petty copyright infringer amusing.

Lemon juice is about the same pH as household vinegar, so you'd need to replace the vinegar 1:1 which might get expensive. An alternative would be to use citric acid (aka sour salt). You'd need about 15g/L (0.075M) to get the same concentration.

Yikes—125-140F should be enough and will do a better job of preserving their original texture and flavor. Boiling is serious overkill, if you meant it literally.

I use it for a couple tasks. I use it for salads because I think that dressing adheres better to dry leaves. I also use it to dry herbs after washing and before refrigerating, and I use it to dry vegetables before stir frying if I want them to brown before they steam.

My strawberries tend to desiccate before they rot. If you leave them in the vented container from the store, the air of the fridge is too dry from them (the recommended storage humidity is 90-95%). Maybe try putting them in a paper bag or in a medium or high humidity crisper drawer to try to maintain a more humid…

I say if it's ok for the president, it's ok for me! ;-)

I think he's using in the sense of definitions 2 or 4 [dictionary.reference.com]. Don't omit stuff to make a point.

There's a difference between boycotting a store and stealing its goods.

Just out of curiosity, where in Italy are they from?

Copies of subtitles are almost certainly protected by copyright (it's basically the script). I can't see it being legal, even in light of the ADA.

Or wait for the DVDs. Or find some friends and split the cost of HBO.

It depends on what you call a "recipe." A list of ingredients? Not protected by copyright. The process by which you create the dish? Not copyrightable. The prose used to describe the recipe and how to execute it, or a illustration that shows how it's done? Definitely protected by copyright. Since the example in…

Italians, particularly those around Emilia-Romagna, can be miserly with their sauce (see the image for an idea of a serving of ragu Bolognese). If there's a lot of sauce left in the bowl when you're done, it could just be because you're using more sauce than the pasta can handle. That's fine, but don't expect a…

Yep. Starts around 1:30.

It's a chicken-and-the-egg thing. No one will write mass-based recipes till the audience owns scales, and the audience won't buy a scale as long as there are volumetric specs.

Data show that if you're looking for anything other than well-done, frequently flipping is the way to go. Yes, with the caveat that waiting to flip tends to reduce sticking.
