largest in the apple market

eBizcuss has 16 stores in France - Apple has 9. That's enough to cause a problem.

The only thing is

...that they are fighting against rounded corners not whole touchscreen interface patents. If they did anything 'major' the other tech corps involved most probably have a much larger array of real mobile tech patents to stops iPhone in it's tracks.

Right now is a pointless verbal slagging match - no real tech patents are involved.

too much CSI?

If I remember correctly some rag tags in Iraq and maybe the flip flop cave men in Afghanistan managed to 'hack' US drones and get live video feeds which in turn allowed them to prepare for US attacks.

The notion of Iran doing this via 'cyber warfare!' is not completely out of this world. It's most probably that sort of snooty 'they're too thick, so let us not even bother securing our high tech toys' attitude that most probably got them in the mess.

erm, not quite. Unless you've been under a rock for the last few years you'd have noticed the general state of affairs regarding the wests relationship with Iran, the threats and counter threats of attacking and generally blowing things up.

Now, if I where Iranian, I would find that a game role played a possible scenario of an invasion of my capital city then I'd be a bit miffed I'd say.

So by banning the game the Iranians are expressing themselves with those two words you've just used too.

What? You mean like the Mac Vs PC ad campaign?

I'm sorry, but if you've not noticed it then I can't really help you on this one. I think it quite obvious to everyone else.

Though I will add that I'm talking about netcitizen iProduct users - never had an issue with real world ones.

there was more to it I think

I just read the wiki entry for this - never really knew what the actual issues where

it looks like he went out of his way to cause a storm in every way possible. I suppose it was the only way he was going to sell the book.

Yeah...but no

the money is most probably in Ukraine by now - who over there will force them to pay it back?

In all honesty I've never seen average 'religious people' (people who follow some religion) jump on others so quickly and denounce others beliefs and defend their own in the way atheists do.

It's quite odd as they tend to claim religious people shove their beliefs down everyone's throats - but on the internet they do it the most themselves.

Rupert would!

"Yeah, as if any news agency is going to risk burning their hands by assisting or aiding a bunch of "notorious hackers""

NI and NOTW would do it!

bounty

not only that, he's got it balanced on his head apparently...shocking that no ones noticed a guy with a huge chocolate bar balanced on his head for near on 10 years.

as for them not being techies, didn't they along with their iraqi comrades hack into US drone video feeds or the like?

but it says

"The exchange pilots also get to fly TuAF F-16s in the Anatolian Eagle international exercises"

it says that they get to fly TuAF f-16s in the international exercises - maybe that's what the PAF guy is on about.

In Question 20 the interviewer also suggests the PAF may have flown with/against the Israeli AF 'pretending' to be TuAF pilots - presumably an international version of the exercise - though the PAF guy does not reply to the question.

But it seems reasonable to say that PAF pilots could have flown against the RAF pilots in eurofighters in the international exercise - but with Turkish F-16s - not PAF ones.
