The iPad was a good call, it's by far the best and most popular tablet. The problem is that so much news can be had for free, so why pay for it? Apps like Flipboard and Pulse launched while thy were trying to convince people to pay. Oops.
Mike you'd look a lot more like a real journalist if you left your anti-Apple bias out of your writing.
"For all the talk of how infringement "harms" the inventor, if someone else can build a massive market where the originator failed, isn't that better for society and the economy?"
You switched subjects there. In this case it would have been better for the inventor if Atari hadn't ripped him off.
I'm as anti-copyright as you are but I don't have any illusions about inventors being "helped" by having their ideas copied.
This is a great start. Now if only all the other commercially signed bands would stop releasing albums we could finally start improving the signal-to-noise ratio of today's music.
Just give it up Mike. All the post-mortem nit picking in the world doesn't change the fact that Sammy obviously ripped off Apple. The nits are just how a patent case is fought, they're not really the point.
"The internet plays a central role and is of great strategic importance for governments and extremist media companies. These governments/corporations know that propaganda is a critical tool for generating funding, recruits and support for their cause within their ridings/markets. Historically they have used a variety of media channels, such as television, radio and publishing, in order to communicate their views. During the past decade of huge global growth of the internet, the US government and media corporation-influenced extremists for example, have made increasing use of this medium. The internet and its fast and anonymous means can contribute to governmental/corporate radicalization processes. There are concerns about the illegal use of the internet for copyright purposes and the misuse of legal / neutral websites. The question is if we can limit the use of the internet for governmental and copyright purposes, without affecting our online freedom. Therefore this project is based on a private dialogue."
Follow the money
What I like about this argument is how easy it makes it to see who's in the NRA's back pocket.

umm no
The case being thrown out doesn't weaken the FTC's argument, the fact that the FTC has an argument shows that the case shouldn't have been thrown out.
Mike, it's a pity your bias against Apple prevents you from seeing things as they are.
Re:
They're not trying to "win more purchases" they're simply pointing out that Samsung ripped them off. And it's working.
Bye

Support your local indie.

So the patent system should be ignored when the patent in question is used by a child that can't talk. Or is being claimed by Apple.
Slowly your interesting view of the world is coming into view Mike.
MIGHT
Hackers MIGHT HAVE gotten Personal Info On 12-Million Apple Users, you mean.
There's no proof any of this is legit yet.
Wrong again Mike

FIFY

Irony! Thanks Big Media, for making the consumption of culture as difficult as possible.

Great article, thanks. I find it hilarious/disgusting that UMG needs to be told that "The reason one has a website is so that others may view it."
