Patent infringement. Copyright infringement is something else entirely. If you're looking for a more general term than "patent infringement", the phrase is "intellectual property infringement".

I think "worst comment" is probably closer to the mark.

I guess it takes a lot of balse to break Twitter records.

Given the unnecessary width of the dock area and the supposed adaptability (they say any iPhone and many iPods will fit, with and without cases) it seems likely that a larger iPhone would fit in there.

I was hoping for a port of the neat PlayStation update.

I wish Burger King would export these innovations.

"Depending on who you ask, 26-47% of the websites currently up use Flash."

The 800 is up for pre-order, looks like it'll be free if you shell out £30/month. That's about as cheap as smartphones get. The 710 is probably going to be heading out to "dumbphone" customers.

I thought that the movie shifted the setting to New York? Or did they change it back?

There's no wavelength for any of the tertiary colours, either, I wouldn't say that means they don't exist. They're composites.

There is no camera on the back of the WiiU controller. Therefore the kind of AR they're showing off in that video, with a live feed of whatever is on the other side of the controller, is impossible.

Apps can still store downloadable content there. They can store anything they want there. The issue is that Apple doesn't want developers storing too much of whatever, but they've also taken away the work-around (caches and tmp) which Instapaper was already using.

Instapaper simply chose not to because it's a huge amount of information, it changes frequently, and it absolutely doesn't need to be backed up (Instapaper's server has a copy of…

I Cannae change the laws of physics, captain.

Yeah, that was a dickish response from yours truly. On that note I'd like to retreat to the more defensible stance that where it's used as a paperback replacement - which is probably where Amazon's aiming the Kindle - it won't be as much of an issue.

"Using the nav buttons for the auto-dictionary function [...] is an almost-every-few-pages action"

They're a plague at scientific meetings. As a result of a wattage arms race if you're not a some searingly sun-bright dot to point to things you're not cool enough to get invited next year.

Excellent.
