Re: What a coc.
Arrogance is ugly and this guy oozes arrogance. I have no doubt he will lose his seat at the next general election.
Re: US Tech Industry ..
Agreed, but at least it shows the rest of the world that software patents should be bannished, exiled and excommunicated from society.
Re: Interesting
Your post is too long. I didn't read it. You have wasted your time.
Re: FRAGMENTATION!!!
That last post was too long. I couldn't be bothered reading it. I hope the author re-visits this page and sees what effect his post has had, ie. zero.

C'mon, let's see some awesome NSFW vertical bacon sandwiches!
Re: Bravo the NZ PM!
Words are cheap.
courageous man?
Complete fuckwit more like.
The facts are:
1. he's the Prime Minister;
2. he should have ensured this never happened in the first place;
3. he should now allow a public, independent investigation into EXACTLY how this happened and ensure it can never happen again.
Accept anything less and you get the politician(s) you deserve.
Re: Argh
How about: go and fuck yourself?
Competition is a good thing - it leads to innovation and increased consumer satisfaction. Two things Apple seem to have forgotten.
Allahu akbar.
a load of shite
A particularly offensive, steaming pile of shite.
Re: BEHEAD THOSE
Ordinarily, I'd say "stop being so damn picky" but as Apple charges a HUGE margin on ANY of its products I feel consumers are right to moan about even the smallest problems with Apple products.

Re: No Comment...
This is the coming of The Apocalypse for Apple. They've started the Android "Jihad" and now it's coming back to haunt them my friends. I am finding it difficult not to go to the toilet these days as I patiently await the successful Appeal of Samsung in Apple v Samsung "II". That's "2" for our American brothers. Allah Akbah. I am so excited by this prospect I have taken to wearing incontinence pads underneath my high explosive vest and underpants. I am looking forward to the day when the Apple Infidel will be cut down by this weapon of its own making and I will will have 72 virgins.
£52kpa?
"One guy looked around for other GIS work and ended up at Apple when a recruiter contacted him...Still, despite the insider's account of lukewarm salary offers of $85,000 (£52k) plus moving expenses"
Fuck me. At those rates hee must've been an intern.
iHaters, just had to post this on el Reg where Apple haters love to congregate
I resent that remark.
You can call me a hater, but I have no favourites. I hate them all.

"the wound it inflicted on Samsung"
I'm sick to death of the media's use of hyperbolae. It's beginning to have the opposite effect on me, ie. a sensational head/byline - to me - is a mask for a crap story. And this is just that - a crap story. There is no "wound" - the damages are less that 1.5% of Samsung's global revenue and relate to phones which Samsung is no longer marketing and are at least a generation old.
Furthermore, Samsung is appealing the jury verdict and the overwhelming majority in the educated press (not the mainstream media) have been heavily critical of the jury decision even suggesting it will be reversed.
Great Ass
She's got a great ass, but I've seen better spaniels' ears at Crufts.
Who gives a fuck.
Posted in Tiny trackers untangle bee secrets
Never mind that
What a fucking waste of taxpayers' money.
At a time when we're all being asked to tighten our belts we have the Government giving away silly money to these morons to pursue their pointless bee fetish.
No. The minister responsible should be taken to the middle of Parliament square and summarily shot for stealing taxpayers' money.
STD
No, not a Sexually Transmitted Disesase, but a Samsung-Transimitted-Disaster.
There ya go El Reg. A smutty innuendo in your end-oh!
No.
This is great. The US population needs a wake-up call so that they can realise just how brain-damaged their patent system is.
The "thermonuclear war" needs to happen because, as we all know, no-one wins a thermonuclear war. So Apple, et. al. will be financial destroyed just like those two fucking idiot lawyers who completely squandered their wealth in an acrimonious divorce battle.
Go thermo, Go thermo...

What's the record?
"and sometimes illegal ways to avoid the taxes"
Be careful. EVASION and AVOIDANCE are two different things. Tax evasion is the ILLEGAL non-payment of a legally due tax liability. Tax avoidance is the LEGAL structuring of your affairs to ensure that they LEGALLY comply with tax law.
Tax avoidance has been around for centuries - ever since the creation of the 'Trust' (or 'Use' as it was then known). Hundreds of years have shown that you'll never eliminate people's desire to structuring their affairs so as to LEGALLY minimise the amount of tax they must pay.
If you don't like then tough. Complain to your MP that the Government's legislation is not up to the task. Don't forget: it's their legislation that is allowing this to happen.
Sycophants
I must be part of those who think his designs aren't that great. Sure, he's a better designer than me but the camera looks shyte... which suggests he's more of a show pony and can't really do much outside of brushed aluminium.
It kinda reminds me of that twat who keeps cutting things in half and dropping them in formaldehyde. Another one who's more 'PR' than substance.
If I had their PR people on my case, I could dump in a Tesco bag, call it 'art' and sell it as a 'one off' for £££s. I just need the PR people. 'Jony' and whats-his-name have them. I don't. That's what separates them from us.
Re: Inquiring Minds Want To Know
Bender - only a non-Brit would call something that.
Re: It's impressive
Agreed, but many probably forget (or don't even know) that Apple's iOS is based on BSD.

Shit-for-brains Archeaologist
"One iPad owner who uses Google Maps for close-up viewing of archaeological sites said: 'With iOS 5, I had generally very good resolution, colour imagery of ancient sites, enough to see features not readily seen on the ground. Now the resolution is lower, so I can't zoom in to examine a feature so closely as before, and many areas are presented in black and white.'"
Using an iPad for viewing archaeological sites?
Fucking idiot.
LOL
Talk about shooting themselves in the foot, but with the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 now being sold it makes lifting the injunction on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 a point of principle more than anything else.
SAD
Who would waste their time queuing for something that, in the grand scheme of things, is an irrelevance?
Looking at them makes me sad.
Jesus-H-Christ
The facts are:
1. More wars have been fought over religion that any other form of dispute;
2. God/Allah/whatever is mankind's greatest invention.
3. The Catholic Church is a safe haven for peados.
Re: More caution...
This doesn't make sense. I've looked at the iPhone 5 specs and it doesn't compare favourably to other top-end phones that are on the market now or will be in the next few months. While I can understand why someone wouldn't want the hassle of changing OS platforms, I can't understand why they wouldn't just hold on to their existing 3GS, 4, 4S and wait for the 6 (to see if that's any better). Save for contract churn, I can't see Apple selling many more of these in any significant quantity and I think all of the media speculation is just Apple-compliant bloggers trying to talk-up the market for what is a lack-lustre release. I think Apple's next few earnings announcements will be humbling for those who recently bought in.
ICS?
Agreed. Google releases a JB Tablet and then releases an ICS phone. What the fuck is with that? LOL
That's not a Dave Cameron 'LOL', by the way.

"For some reason he doesn't want to submit to that process"
"that process"
He's been on the record numerous times stating that he's willing to submit to the Swedish trial PROVIDED he won't be abducted by US Agents.
I'm surprised that you don't know this and can only conclude either:
1) you have not paid even cursory attention to the case;
2) you are simply trolling; or
3) you are a fucking retard.

That's right. And you read it here first on El Reg.

Natural Extension
As a BT headset doesn't have a user interface then this could be still counted as something new.
Agreed, but I think it's plausible to suggest the presence of the UI element is just a natural extension of the Jawbone patent and, therefore, there is very little that's 'innovative' to warrant a 20-year right to exclusive exploitation.
This is just another example of the brain damage that is the US patent system.
Another 'prediction'
I love predictions from analysts. They're always accruate and worth reading.
"The lesson is, if you want to get relief against Apple, it's going to have to be in a foreign forum where it doesn't have the clout or the cachet it has at the ITC or the northern district of California."
LMFAO. So justice is NOT blind in the USA? I thought it was just their brain-damaged patent system that was the problem, but if this guy is to be believed (and it's a big IF) it's the entire US Justice system that's SNAFU.
"its members would not undertake work related to the offshoring plan"
Nice. I applaud them for telling management to go and fuck themselves.
Re: Ahhhh...

Economics and Economists
The story highlights the fact that no-one has a monopoly on the truth.
If Economists could forecast with ANY reliability, the word 'recession' would feature in our language. Yet, here we are, in the worst economic downturn since records began. Economists never saw it coming and years later they still can't get us out of it.
Sadly, people still give credence to these people and their 'predictions'.
Hero Products?
A Hero's ransom more like. They're just too expensive.
A Vertical One
50% of the population will agree there is nothing better than a vertical bacon sandwich.
screen ripple effects
"Give the tablet a twist, or poke the screen too fiercely and you can see ripple effects but, again, it’s easy enough to not do either, so I wouldn’t want to make too big a deal of it."
So why mention it?
