Might want to update that this is actually not related to the slide to unlock patent. Judge Koh found that all 4 patents are being infringed on, but the only patent she based the injunction on is patent '604.

I think the Events photostream is a pretty nifty idea- why bother with lots of contributors and albums on FB (where rights management is, and apparently always will be, a nightmare) when you could just invite people to an event and then have them post things up right to the home of that event? I like it.

Shouldn't Apple be able to go to market with stable drivers that don't lead to a kernel panic? When you control the OS, drivers, and the hardware it's deployed on, kernel panics really shouldn't happen, no matter what your programs ask the OS to do.

You seem to have forgotten that it would be a business expense, so it could become a tax writeoff for a serious developer. And $1500 isn't that bad- you seem to have forgotten that the entry fee for an event like this is usually in that ballpark by itself. WWDC was $1600 a head, in addition to the annual fee ($100 I…

Yay, more expensive internals (ie GPU to run all these pixels, bigger battery to run the GPU) for all!

Exactly. If you're not guided by business sense, you really need to have someone near you who is. And then listen to them. You do need both, IMO- one has to be the optimist who really wants something to work, but then they need someone to bring them back down to earth, too.

Right, I did say revenue- didn't say it necessarily went to them. Interesting that the publisher wouldn't just take their cut, but that they'd take the first $X amount. Makes sense, though.

The interesting thing to me is how many stupid decisions were made in this saga.

You're just another bolt-on wonderboy looking to get smoked!

The Silver Shadow Gilboa Snake laughs at your measly single barrel!

First I'm gonna take your ride, then I'm gonna take your girl- be ready for that! :)

Just ruined my day. I had my suspicions that this was the case since we saw it at E3, but this makes me sad. I didn't want NFS:MW to be Burnout Paradise 2, I want an NFS game. I want Paradise 2 at some point as well, but that game was completely different from Most Wanted- that was pretty purely focused on racing and…

But if the local companies already have a crappy app of their own, I'm not really sure why they'd want to play ball with Apple Maps. Integration costs money and takes time.

You sound like you're doing it wrong- DD-WRT was easy to flash and even easier to set up on my router at home. I'm pretty light on networking knowledge (I can google, and I know more than most people I'll admit) but it's pretty low-touch to set up and get running. And since I put DD-WRT on last year, all I do is…

Here's the case I got, if you have any interest: [www.amazon.com]

Oh trust me, I love my Nexus. That's just my biggest complaint- when I swapped in the extended battery, which I think actually improves the lines of the phone- I was terrified that I was going to break one of those cheap feeling little tabs, both taking the door off and replacing it.

Ha, awesome response from Solo. Reminds me of when my friend asked a person at Disneyland if they had shot glasses around in the gift shops. "We don't have shot glasses here in the magic kingdom."

It's true, horrid battery door aside, the Galaxy Nexus is very, very nice and minimal, but still functional when you fire up the screen.

But you have iCloud, why would you need more than 256gb of local storage in a machine made for "pro" applications (certainly priced for them) and with a display intended for use as a video and photo editing on the go?

Let's see:
