The world looks fantastic.

This one really does look like an Accord, though.

ARM has over 2,500 patents, and like the airscarf their designs can be licensed:

ARM is a patent holder that doesn’t make anything, either. They happen to have CPUs in iPods, iPhones, Gameboys, DSes, PSPs, Vitas, and just about any computer not PC or Mac.

Unfortunately the patent in question is in German so I cannot tell you if this is an obvious or non-obvious patent, but as in my first statement…

Soft Oreos and graham crackers are the best! That way you don't have floaters in your milk!

If anyone could squander billions of dollars of user data by doing nothing, I trust Nintendo to screw up and do nothing.

You don’t know how patents work, evidently. A specific implementation was patented, and the argument is that Mercedes used his specific implementation without licensing it from him. Imagine you arrange a set of tubes into a specific arrangement to accomplish a task; like blowing warm air without catching on fire, or…

A monogrammed and embroidered MB scarf would be a big hit I think.

I dunno, but it seems neat.

If you say so. I think Opera’s VPN and compression service are innovative; developing power saving strategies are also innovative, if less so because others have done it first. Offering the option as a toggle is just... uninspired. There’s nothing wrong with it, but it’s just a feature and not innovative.

You’re arguing that giving the user a toggle is innovative?

Sure you do, articles like this happen every year. It looks like Opera now matches Safari?

It sounds like you want a Mazda 6, fitted with a turbo.

That doesn’t stop the tears, it just gives them something nice to land on.

Forget my parents, I’m thinking about me as I get older! It will be like having a chauffer!

That’s really hard to believe. The entire unit? So the brakes failed, the radiator leaked, the transmission failed, the fuel pump failed, the throttle body stuck, a rod got thrown, the bushings rotted out, and the brake lines got water in them all at once?

Uh, haha? I've used UConnect in a rental. The industry must be terrible if that is lauded as best. My Mazda 6 has the perfect ICE system, that I've found. It is a Bluetooth head unit and pairs with my phone. The only way it would be better is if it was a CarPlay unit.

This is Fiat. Those cars, they aren't undying. They'll probably work fine for a year and then you'll get flooded with updates on all the mechanics and repair shops in Google Maps.

I’m reminded of how Blackberry and Nokia similarly though the iPhone was impossible; internally I am sure they are freaking how, but externally they can’t, for shareholder happiness.

Are you talking about companies dabbing their own parts for sale and production?
