I know people are just as tired of hearing about Apple as I am but I just browsed www.patentlyapple.com and I am in utter dismay. They were just granted patents for, get this...creating playlists. Oh, and multiple windows inside a browser a la Chrome, Opera, Dolphin, Firefox etc. And finally, editing text including the ability to CUT and PASTE. A feature that took them four years to include, they now have a patent for. Expect even more patent lawsuits now.
[Off-topic] garydv2002:
That's BS. Microsoft had all that in its products when apple was still trying to get started. You don't see bill gates sueing apple for GUI interface. Apple was still using a command line os when Microsoft introduced windows 95. So it seems to me if anyone is violating copyrights or patents it should be apple. And they didn't create the first portable music player either. You younger folks may think the iPod was the first portable music but I remember the Sony Walkman. So apple can only take the ideas of others and capitalize on them.....
[Off-topic] garydv2002:
This is for you young folks who would not know what a Walkman was if it fell on your head lol...

This was portable music before the iPod

My God. Apple needs to die in a horrible fire. I'm sorry, but this patent bullsh*t with them is getting SERIOUSLY ridiculous. Makes me just want to study law to become a freaking judge wherever they file their suits and just don't let them win any of these stupid-ridiculous cases. Hell, maybe jump into the patent world and SLAP the face of anyone that even thinks about granting Apple stupid patents like this. And I completely get that other companies are pretty big patent trolls as well, but seriously? This is just getting stupid.

Oooh, an imperial stout made with IPA yeast? That would be something I'd have to try.

I inherently trust any IPA from Dogfish Head, Russian River, Stone, Green Flash or Firestone Walker (can you tell I lived in San Diego for a while?). I inherently trust just about anything from those four, in fact. One of the absolute best beers I've ever tasted, and it kills me that it's gone forever, was Highway 78, a Scotch ale made by Stone, Green Flash and Pizza Port. Absolutely the best beer I've tasted to date. Dogfish Head 60, 90 and 120 are all great stuff, Stone's Oaked Arrogant B**tard (sorry prbassplayer--it's the name of the beer!) and Russian River's Pliny the Elder are all excellent IPAs. I haven't been able to taste Pliny the Younger yet, but I'm hoping that day comes mid-February of 2013. There's a Belgian beer cafe near us that always has new and entertaining things on tap, and I missed Pliny the Younger night to a business trip last year. Once the keg is tapped, it typically lasts about 15 minutes!

I would expect phones which are priced in the 600+ dollar range to be made with quality. I would pay more for durable materals which you would know would last a lifetime. Why do companies settle for less, when they have to replace peoples phone which cost them money to replace rather then spending money to make a quality product? Guess i'll have to wait for carbon fiber bodied phones lol
[Off-topic] droidbabyxda:
I think there's only a few percentage of people who return phones, even then with insurance you still have to pay $125 for replacements.

[Off-topic] garydv2002:
Nope it absolutely nothing to do with skin color. I never said I would do anything to our president anyway. I was merely making the statement known that I cannot eminim who (btw is white last time I checked) or what he stands for. The kinda stuff he sings has no business reaching the ears of the young folk in this country. The music he sings just might be the reason for the piss poor attitude most of the teens have in this country. And notice I said most not all. And true neither statement has nothing to do with development but this is an off topic thread where alot of us express our opinions but just because our opinions don't match is no reason to call anyone racist. We live in a country where everyone does not agree all the time but I don't think its right that every time someone says anything negative about Obama they are automatically a racist. But let me ask you this. You have never seen a pic of me so how do you know what my skin color is? Oh I don't agree with Obama so that makes me white and racist? You were just a little quick to judge someone there huh? Without knowing any facts about me. Well I just so happen to be white and I don't like Obama but guess what I don't like Joe biden, Hillary Clinton, or Nancy pelosy. So what does that make me???? Hmm if you said Republican then ding ding ding you win the bonus round.... Republican yes racist no no no....

So it makes it harder to ignore them.
