I thought it was funny

I'm not sure what the problem is - Apple were ordered to put up the court ruling and they did

thats the first paragraph .

They then quote from the judgement against them - did they misquote the Judge ? Apparently not. Its the Judges statement and quite frankly this must have been the best lose that apple could have had - the Judge says how lovely Apple's stuff is and how Samsung's stuff isn't as cool and therefore not a close copy. Samsung must have been really happy when that ruling came down!

Surely if that is the Judges opinion on which he made his ruling then apple have the right to quote it alongside the verdict. Really, did anyone expect anything else.

as for the other paragraphs quoting their wins in other jurisdiction - cheeky but also truth.

Apples posting has to be the only funny thing in this whole patent fiasco

Peckham

I didnt even realise Peckham was a real place that existed outside of "Only Fools and Horses" . Now ill be travelling 1 1/2 hours across London to get to a 2d showing of dread. Drokk this 3D nightmare

Thin margins? Not likely ! But who cares. Move Along . Nothing to see here

Jobs possibly (but probably not ) saw a bubble on someones iphone and decided it was ugly and he wasnt going to help that happen. So lets all buy android phones, that'll teach him !

get a life people , if you want a screen protector there are a myriad of cheaper places to buy one

if you want an iPhone or a Google phone go for it . get on on their merits and their usefulness to you

Now, why isnt there a little graphic of someone yawning I can add to this post ?

Flash, ah ah - he'll save everyone of us

Flash Gordons alive

what no Ming the Merciless on the iPad - say it aint so.

for the last 3 or 4 months ive been running Click to Flash on my Mac and delighting in having grey boxes where the flash should be - about the only time i've clicked on the box to load the flash has been for you tube based video. and, guess what,you tube runs on the iDevices as they re-encoded everything into h264 realising that how big the apple market was and thats the way the apple wind was blowing .

admittedly I've no interest in playing browser based flash based games on my mac so its been a great experience being mostly flash free - no flickering distracting adds make aworld of difference

i recommend Click to Flash to all mac users

so which UK tax paying search engine can we use

so which UK tax paying search engine can we use ?

bargain. Not

well i downloaded the reader for mac and for ipod touch then i went to take a look on B&N's site at their offering

i typed in Dune and up came the paperback for about $8 i clicked on digital version and it was on sale down from $17 to $13

I passed on their generous offer

and some colleges wont support vista

my sister is currently doing a teaching qualification at a higher education establishment in the UK that warns incoming students to make sure that if they are running windows that it is xp not vista as they will provide no support to anyone running vista.

its all very silly really when all they require is assignments handed in in a certain file format and most commercial or open source word processors and spreadsheets will export to a office format if required .

lets not forget why pcs are so cheap - they are subsidised by the companies whose trial software is preinstalled on your machine - software that a sizeable percentage of people will end up paying a subscription to to protect their machines from viruses.

sure, macs are more expensive but if you want an ipod this is a cracking deal

Thank goodness for the license fee

I've spent time living abroad and have seen tv in a number of countries and in my opinion having a tax payer funded tv system results in far superior tv networks.

Not only does it allow the BBC to make programs that wouldnt be made commercially but it forces the other stations to make an attempt to put out quality programming. News and documentaries would be the first real casualties. Drama next. Locally produced content would dwindle if it wasn't regulated.

Sure, theres a lot of rubbish on all channels, BBC included. Sadly the days of 3 channels , all of whom shut down for part of the day - are long gone.

ironically most of the people here who complain are probably paying 30 quid plus a month for Sky.

If all the football fans out there had held off for a couple of years when sky/bsb bid outrageous amounts of money for the footie - because that was the only way they could get people to sign up - then they would have failed and you wouldnt have to be paying a fortune to sky every year - Grandstand would still be showing the major matches and that would all be included in your license fee.

but no - you piled into sky and bsb and now whinge about the excellent value for money the Beeb represents

"more choice" the politicians and business people promised us ? more channels meant more time to fill and fragmenting audiences which mean lower budgets for shows, meaning lower quality and all the time the newer channels bidding higher amounts against each other for the top shows and you are paying more for it all the time

we should have stopped at channel 4

and dont get me started on digital delivery with its terrible compression . Whats the point of HiDef if its compressed to hell and looks like crap ?

Do Something - write to them

Instead of posting here write to your MEP. Let them know what you think of the proposals.

Chances are your MEP hasnt read the proposal and doesn't know what it means, so before he or she rubberstamps it.

Let them know why you feel this legislation is a bad idea.

You never know, shining a little light on the subject might have some effect.

its very simple, go to

www.writetothem.com

enter your postcode, select your MEP and fill in the form

WriteToThem makes sure it gets to them.

Be polite - explain your concerns - ask them if they have read and understood the amendments - tell them how you want them to vote and ask them to let you know what their position is
