SR-71

You connected the development of the SR-71 to the shooting down of Gary Powers in 1960, but the SR-71 project was started in 1958.

At least that's what it says on the info board at Duxford. Well worth a tripto see it in the flesh actually . There's also a B-52.

Patent nonsense. The fiery disk cannot pass under the elephants. Everyone knows it's turtles all the way down.

As long as there is a hole in the wall for the fibre optic.

He does sounds like an possible idiot

He wants apps which have the content of his books removed so he can make an app himself and give away the content free.

Sounds like an idiot; I'll put him down as a possible idiot.

Re: Epic Shit

We would all believe if the Lord Almighty started to do a bit more smiting of his enemies.

possibly

But you might expect that the apple lawyer who did the due diligence on the original purchase of the trademark will be required to walk the plank.

Thumb Up

Can I be the first one to thank the reg hackette

For an apple piece without "foxconn rebrander" in it.

Re: Tab2

But.. the Tab2 doesn't sell as well as the Tab 1.

Could it just possibly be that its because it doesn't look like an iPad, so the buyers aren't misled?

"The Hague"

Can we just stick to calling him William?

amanfromearth

I agree

There's hardly any need for some magic material to replace a simple bit of "bent tin".

I surmise that they have a very specific product in mind which will take years to develop, and probably not a mac air housing either, as that's well covered by the current alloy CNC part.

Maybe they are making a combination fridge/toaster. Or a jet pack.

Re: They will need different lesbian graphics for the uk tho'

Yeah, just as I can identify twats with no sense of humour by their inane replies.

amanfromearth

Re: Dr Magneto will see you now.

If they can implant the magnet, then they can excise the tumour..

The problem I see with the scheme is that the particles will be strongly attracted to cluster on the magnet surface, reducing availability at the edges of the tumour. Maybe if they had magnetised particles they could then use an electromagnet and attract/repel with a waveform designed according to the size of the tumour

Re: Why do people care so much about the Foxconn rebranding thing?

@diodesign

Except that there a difference between a nickname and a description. You are not using the phrase "foxconn rebrander" as a name, you are using it as descriptive text, and that is where the reg team are just plain wrong.

amanfromearth

Oh Dear

You'll get fired from the Reg by referring to Apple.

The approved terminology is "Foxconn-rebrander"

amanfromearth

Situation normal

Foxconn rebranding . check

Fruity tech. check

Reality distortion field. check.

Nothing to see here, move along now.

amanfromearth

Why don't the best techies work in the channel?

Because it's full of water, and they would drown

Re: One square kilometre

As it's splurged over a number of locations in the southern hemisphere, thousands of km apart, are they going to stop calling it the square km array?

So she'll doubtless have no problem with the duality of Greece being in the Euro and out of it at the same time then.
