And of course there is always this from Boy Wonder...

"Steve Jobs: Good artists copy great artists steal"

...or this: "We have always been shameless about stealing great ideas. Triumph of the Nerds (1996)"

...or this: "It's more fun to be a pirate than to join the navy.

At a retreat in September 1982, as quoted in John Sculley and John A. Byrne, Odyssey: Pepsi to Apple – A Journey of Adventure, Ideas, and the Future (1987), p. 157

Variant: Why join the Navy . . . if you can be a pirate? As quoted or paraphrased in Young Guns: The Fearless Entrepreneur's Guide to Chasing Your Dreams and Breaking Out on Your Own (2009) by Robert Tuchman, p. 18"

Yep...thank goodness that Apple never had any ideas of stealing other peoples' ideas.

Much ado about nothing

You do realize kids, that no one is forcing anyone to buy this Nest thing...don't you? Or any of the other crap that connects my home & its belongings to the Internet. There isn't a snowball's chance in Hell I would ever buy one of these...or any other device that connects the appliances in my home to the Internet. What for?

It's bad enough that there are PFYs around the globe (and yes...the NSA also) trying to gain access to my computers...the longer they all stay the f*ck out of the rest of my life...the better.

Seriously? 150k?

There is probably MORE than that lost under the couch cushions at the Chocolate Factory's headquarters.

What a crock.

"An autopsy carried out after his death, released last week, concluded that Jack died of a multi-drug overdose including a mix of heroin and cocaine as well as prescription drugs – specifically, diphenhydramine (Benadryl) and alprazolam (Xanax). His girlfriend found him lying in bed and unresponsive, surrounded by beer and champagne bottles, when she returned home in the evening."

"There was "no visible or palpable evidence of trauma" and the acute mixed drug overdose was likely to have been accidental, the autopsy concluded."

Right. He "accidently" took all of those drugs...one at a time. Then washed them down with beer & champagne.

Buh-bye kid...you're a loser who won't be missed.

And in the background...

...the strains of "Nearer My God to Thee" are heard.

"Interim BlackBerry CEO John Chen says critics should quit dwelling on the snakebit smartphone vendor's past missteps and look instead to what the company plans to do tomorrow."

It's ALL drivel on Farcebook

"Facebook has finally offered its users a way of expressing disgust at the drivel their friends post."

Pot...

...meet kettle.

Beware of these so-called "Expert Witnesses"

I had to sue a former dentist for malpractice, after having to have USD$11,000.00 of reconstructive surgery done on me. Paid out of pocket by me.

My wife took the same scumbag through a similar case, but had to go through the local County Dental Association, (we had to go different routes too numerous to post here). She won her case, and the clown was required to refund the USD$5,000.00 she had spent on "work" he had done on her for a complete set of "caps". The ONLY positive thing the Dental Review Board said about her case was that the "aesthetics" were good, meaning the caps themselves, which he had no part in creating.

ALL of his work was deemed poor, and sub-standard, and even dangerous (she had multiple gum infections because of his "work"). He was sanctioned by the review board, and made to refund the money spent.

My case went through the local County Courts (a jury trial), and it was a sham. I had hired the supposed best legal firm dealing with medical malpractice (claimed they had a 98% win rate) on a contingency basis, so if things did not go my way, I paid them nothing. Good thing, because they didn't. Oh...and because of the law...my wife's case against this prick could not be mentioned during my trial.

I lost my case, due to one of these "Expert Witnesses" for the Dentist, who testified that he "knew I was predisposed to Periodontal Disease, because it ran in my family", even though in cross examining by my attorney, he admitted that he had never seen me before, had no knowledge of my, or my family's dental or medical history, had never seen my, or my family's dental or medical records, and had never examined me, or anyone in my family. He said...and I quote..."I just know." The jury bought this shit hook, line & sinker, and I lost my case. The judge was no better either. He sat on the bench and scoffed at much of my testimony. Another biased scumbag to be sure.

Needless to say, my opinion of the legal system has gone right down the shitter. I have been called for jury duty several times now over the years since my trial, and as soon as I tell the lawyers of my little escapade in their courts, and how much I despise the whole system, I am released from jury duty instantaneously.

So as far as I am concerned, most of these "expert witnesses" are PAID LIARS, and nothing more.

ROTFLMAO

One more P.T. Barnum moment.

Well you know...

...there is one very easy way to make sure your personal information isn't snooped on by governments on any of these lame social networking sites like Farcebook.

DON'T USE ANY OF THEM FFS.

And this only really matters...

...if one gives a Rat's Arse about LinkdIn in the first place...which many people do not.

There...fixed it for you.

Yahoo! ordered! to! get! on! with! Microsoft! Search! rollout! in! Asia!

Not possible.

It just works.

"Last living NEANDERTHALS discovered in JERSEY – boffins"

So the Commentards referring to "Jersey Shore" are most likely from the US...and have no clue about where the piece is ACTUALLY talking about.

And besides...they are really in Washington, D.C.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Whooppieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

So just how much of a Narcissist do you have to be...

...to put a picture of yourself on your posts? A huge one, apparently.

"Tesla has provided more details about the fire, ...the car "performed as it was designed to do.""

And that would be bursting into flames when it runs over some large object?

Is it possible to order a Tesla WITHOUT that option? Hmmm?

Your words coming back to haunt you Stevie & Timmy?

"During the Q4 Apple earnings call, Cook addressed words spoken by Steve Jobs in the past regarding a 7-inch tablet:

On comments that Steve made before about 7 inch tablets, let me be clear, we would not make one of the 7 inch tablets, we don’t think they’re good products, we’d never make one.

In case you’re wondering what Steve Jobs said about the 7-inch form factor, here’s his original quote:

7-inch tablets are tweeners: too big to compete with a smartphone and too small to compete with the iPad. ….7-Inch tablets are dead on arrival.

Jobs had more to say in his day about the smaller tablet:

While one could increase the resolution to make up some of the difference, it is meaningless unless your tablet also includes sandpaper, so that the user can sand down their fingers to around one-quarter of their present size. Apple has done expensive user testing on touch interfaces over many years, and we really understand this stuff.

There are clear limits of how close you can place physical elements on a touch screen, before users cannot reliably tap, flick or pinch them. This is one of the key reasons we think the 10-inch screen size is the minimum size required to create great tablet apps. "
