I mean yeah, but still. With WP8 about to launch, it doesn't seem like a really great time to try to conspicuously infringe on their design. It wouldn't be big news like an apple vs. samsung lawsuit, but companies send cease and desist letters all the time.

How do they think this isn't going to get sued out of existence, given that it's a clear and total knockoff of whatever Microsoft is calling Metro UI now?

I don't really get why this is news. Did anyone think that they wouldn't sell this, and that you'd have to string together an adapter and an old model 30-pin charger if you wanted to charge the iPhone 5? It's like saying "You don't have to buy a dvi to hdmi converter to hook two hdmi devices together! Just buy an hdmi…

Seriously — Apple's going to sue these fools for infringing on their patent for maps that are utterly obscured by fog.

This, so hard.

Yeah, I was filled with a sense of existential sadness upon seeing this headline. Ugh.

No, probably not, since Verizon only allows phones that are specifically made for Verizon. It's like how you couldn't bring a phone over from Sprint even though it's cdma.

Yeah that shouldn't be the case — you should be able to go to those same apps in the play store and reinstall them at no repeat cost. They should be already associated with your account.

Yeah, I'm going to join the chorus of people agreeing that that's a GIANT dick move on your part. Those are for you to look at, not to break.

What are you talking about? I think you're very misinformed as to what an arduino board is.

It should be pretty clear that the end of the post you're replying to was tongue in cheek making fun of him/herself.

It's a bleak day for Apple when Mapquest is a more vibrant and appealing option than something they've put out.

I've found the trick in this — if you click on any one job and then click "View job levels", it'll show you that they're using the information for the absolute highest level of any given position in the main chart. The lower ends are much lower.

Oh yeah? Now that you say that, I guess Chrome for OS X does it too — I've just never really thought about it.

There's a nice feature on android phones where if you have a google account associated with the device, when you go to a google site it'll offer a little popup that says "log in as (your name)", and if you hit accept, it'll automatically log you in without ever presenting a login screen. It seems like this could be…

To give clarity to my point — I have a friend who's something of a collector of folding bikes, and it's really hard to make a folding bike that works really well. Even with a company like Dahon that's known for nothing but their folding bikes, he's had plenty of bikes where he's felt like some element of the design is…

Fair enough — but there's some really good folders out there already, and it just seems like the niche market of people who are interested in a folding bike enough that they're going to pay the money for it but specifically want it to have 26" wheels isn't likely very big. It just seems like an over designed bike for…

No, I definitely wouldn't. Just get a bike rack for your car if you want to ride a full size bike but still carry it around with you without riding it.

Seriously, this isn't twitter.

Yeah, app.net's response to the question of "But what about the fact a paid model will turn people off?" seems to be "We know that less people will use our service than free ones, but we've priced it so we'll still be profitable!", which totally misses the point of the question. Nobody cares about whether a social…
