Elop was a small fish that couldn't make it at MS and it was Nokia's fault for hiring such an idiot to run its operations.

If MS is not allowed to bundle IE with Windows then Intel shouldn't be allowed to bundle their graphics with the CPU.

Not Android

These patents are not Android related. They are for accessories added to Android devices.

Discounted

Lots of Android tablets were heavily discounted recently. You can pick up a Samsung refurbished tablet from Tesco for £122. See http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/white-7-samsung-galaxy-tab-2-from-tesco-outlet-seller-refurbished-including-delivery-1531040

Nice price, but they can keep it.

Knock £220 off it and we'll talk.

sure sign

of things are not going well over the garden wall - the last PR stunt on the day of the launch of the S4 and this desperation of design by Steve crap are a sure sign of shit hitting the proverbial at Apple.

Re: Indemnification

Nobody has ever been taken to court for using vanilla android. Oracle tried with Google and failed.

It'll be still 6-12 months behind other tablets.

I'm happy that this had happened to the Oz government. Maybe they will see some sense w.r.t to crap patents and reform the broken system.

Spend half of that money on a Nexus 10 & the other half on i5 Inspiron laptop. Job done.

SO who should I scream at when I bricked my phone trying to upgrade it using a ROM from XDA?

That's right, the bloody manufacturer for building a phone that I couldn't do to it as I wanted without bricking it.

Were there any stickers on those machines with "Designed For Linux" on them?

Yeah, I put diesel in my petrol tank ... guess what?

2 consecutive year losses ... a year after, sold assets and cut jobs - a miracle, it turns a profit with a massive cash injection from its backer. Apple and Samsung need to learn from Nokia.

This is not a troll. My laptop is a Dell Inspiron, bought it 2 weeks ago ... my broadband is 100M with VM.

Starting any apps taking ages with the circular dots going round and round ... after a minute or so the app starts.

I had installed VS2012 ... starting it takes ages. However, once started then it's as responsive my Win7 laptop (2nd gen i5, 4GB RAM ... Lenovo).

The Windows 8 that came with my laptop(i5 & 8GB RAM) is soooo slow.

A piece of shit that is Windows 8.

Re: One does get the feeling that Apple's strategy is beginning to unravel.

Anyone told HTC they just paid for crap patents?

UK

There are privacy laws in the UK that will protect you from this, however because Facebook is a US company it'll be tricky. We'll see when this comes to the UK court, I suspect quite soon.

Re: Pardon me!?

That's not true.

Killing people wherever has always been against national & international laws.

There was/is also the Geneva Convention on the treatment of prisoners etc...

"took its inspiration from the Apple MacBook Air"

Apple used Samsung components to make iDevices - Apple good.

Apple used bad data in iDevices - Supplier bad.
