Pay Jobs due respect - by crushing the empire he created

LPF

Well it only applies to those countries in which those patents are valid....

I'm no fan of software patents, but in an industry plauged with people who do jack all but wait for someone to come up with a good idea and then copy it, without ever doing any RnD I can see the need.

The majority of sucessfully touch screen phones I see are ones that have decided to give up and trey to get as close to a copy of the iPhone without getting sued.

In the case of samsung, you have the tocco models which look nothing like the iPhone and were also rans an then you have the Galaxy series , which are just blant ripoffs, you see the like Ebay all the time from small chinese Manufacturers!

Of course you will have the apple haters come in and say one tinytiny difference proves they are not alike, when you look at the TV advert its only right at the end that they mention is a samsung, They are hoping to ride on iPhone marketing and everyone knows it!!

If the "the iPhone 4 looks like it was designed using Excel autoshapes" as you say why does the gallaxy ape it then?

Microsoft takes the Android profit, the Wonkas take the pain

LPF

The issue with the Microsoft Patents, is that they have nothing to do with Android in itself, which is why you have not seen Microsoft try and sue google. Its the VFAT patent and sync with exchange rubbish. remove that from your phone and you can tell Microsoft to go one!

Google is making money from all the apps that get sold through its store, are they making Apple money? no but to say they are making nothing is rubbish.

As for Microsft making 500 Million, well seeing as when you sign the agreement they make you keep stum, I think that a load of balls as well!

Does Gove’s webmail policy breach Data Protection Act too?

LPF

Only problem with this is that you have to be able to read these emails to work out whats being said, and he can then quite rightly tell you to go take a flying ****.

By the way how does the Times know the content of his emails???

Samsung plots 3G iPhone, iPad bans in the Netherlands

LPF
Thumb Down

I'm confused.....

You can have a 3G phone, pay for a license to make and sell one and still have the license holders come after you for more? I assume that there are some patents the company did not put in the pool, so are not covered by license to use against those people who make better products than them, that they can't rip off?

45% of Android users to upgrade to rival phone OSes

LPF

The problem with android...

Is that unlike the iPphone for most of the handsets you have to make a blood sacrifice at the full moon to get an OS upgrade for most handsets, unless you are into hacking your phone. Whereas with the iPhone the upgrade is pretty painless, and even if you have an older phone, you are not left behind until you physically dont have the hardware to run the updated OS.

How many prefectly good hardware wise android phones have been stiffed and left running old versions of the OS, it was only with OS 5 that I think the original and 3 vesions of the iphone were left behind.

That kind of product support breeds loyalty.

Apple sued for iPhone, iPad chip 'patent rip-off'

LPF

Hold on a second, this is an Arm chip, so the question is , if this functionality exists , was it added on to the design by Apple, or is its something that comes with all Arm chips?.

LPF

Two of the patens are over 20 years old since they were filed and one of them was 2002 and relies on a 1997 patent. Looks very dodgy to me.

DfE probed over Gmail use for official business

LPF

Nope the reason this happned is that becuase labour installed so many of their people in the civil service, that if the government used the internal email system, they might as well just CC labour into every email they produce.

Send your thanks to Nu Labour we now have a partisan civil service!

How to go from the IT dept to being a rogue trader

LPF

From my time working on projects for the banks, lots of people are caught, but the thing is do you want the world to know that you expensively created system which trades billions per day can be compromised or are you going to give them a little shutting up money and tell them to feck off out with a good reference ???

Schoolkids learn coding at GCSE level in curriculum trial

LPF

Thank God

As some poster already, when I was at school we were taught Logo and Basic, however when then introduced the GCSe they changed it to learning productivity software. I was so angry with the patronising attitude of the new teacher that was brought in to teach us, as the old IT teacher probally left in disgust. I wanted to punch the new bloke in the face. Yes most of the class loved it as they had more of a chance of passing now it had been dummed down to bateria level!

Patent wars: Apple attacks Samsung in Japan

LPF

Yes becuase obviously no way that samsung could have found out from 3rd party suppliers what the case design was like nooooooo wayyyy

LPF
WTF?

What a load of rubbish...

Samsung ripped off apple as their previous phones where getting hammered by the iPhone. You hear a lot of people coming on here saying but its a generic design, no way is it a rip off, its how you have to build a touch screen phone.

Funny how the Google G1 is an android handset, touchscreen would you believe and yet manages to look nothing whatsoever like the iPhone.

Apple somes out with the black slab, sells them by the truck load, and suddenly the Samsung Galaxy 2 comes along. The tocco and tocco lite, previous handsets made by samsung look nothing like the iPhone, the Galaxy is a rip off , designed to get those buyers who can't afford the iPhone.

Apples beef is simple , you spend you own money and design your own damn products, don't wait for them to do the RnD and then expect them to watch while you rip them off, stuff that!

Sweet weeping jesus

Are you for real ???

"Just feel sorry for the poor buggers who for £2.50 an hour who will be exploited and most likely some will die."

Seriously are you for real, WTF do you think they will be having these kids doing, cleaning out reactors with a mop and bucket?? HAVE A WORD WITH YOURSELF!

And doing an apprenticeship a,d at least learning something for little money, is at least better than sitting in your backside all day , doing jack sponging off working people, and by the way , at my place of work, I know of 3 apprentices , that have been taken on full time, earning 15K plus.

Guess what proving that you can do a job good for a yeah, is a damned good incentive to prove that your worth something, rather than gamberling on a uni student with jack work experience!

I was there when Computing changes to IT

The changed from o-level to GCSe was drastic, and profound, dumbing down to the lowest common denominator.

we swent from being taught how the computers worked and their interals, to how to use a word processor, computing for the dullards, had me almost in tears. I could see the smug gits face as he told me "Mr **** , you seem to have a problem with my course", when I pointed out that I wanted to do two years of programming , not messing about with word processors.

I see the usual apologists are out in force...

The are little criminal scum, the reason that it got out of hand, was that the police were scared crapless that if any of the little scummers weher hurt being arrested then they would end up on mansalughter charges like the dude who hit that druken waste of space tomilinson. Sorry he was a drunk, and being hit on the frigging legs does not lead to you dying, neiother does being pushed to the ground.

Drinking every day for 30 yers like a fish leads to you dying early.

The rioting stopped, when the police were told to actually go in and kick ass,as the GMP should with great effect couple of days ago.

@Sarah Davis

I think you will find that more people voted for the tories than any other party and they and the liberals had more seats that you scumbag Labour.

We are in this situation due to 13 years of labour party mismangement of the economy, and decades of liberal chattering class policy that states its OK to bring up wild feral scum becuase thats a lifestye choice!

Well as someone who lives in South London and has seen the results of these polices I wish that for once these scum would head off to islington show you and your friends the results.

They are human pond scum and the sooner they get some 80's styles policing with the end of s tuncheon the better.

But hey you can be garanteed that as soon as the police give the little poor misunderstood darlings a showing the chattering classes will be along to ensure their human rights are upheld!

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

LPF

The question that I want to know...

Are all these tablets going to be OS upgradable??

Becuase say what you want about the iPads at least they are still getting OS updates from the manufacturer and dont rely on jailbreaking , or plain old voodoo to get an OS update.

Apple keep their harware OS updated as long as its practical and as an owner of an HTC HD2 I know what it feels like to have the manufacture just drop support for your Device.

LPF

@K sorry but..

All reviews have some sort of personal baised whther overt or not .

However in the case of the screen estate comparision the reviewer is stating a fact not an opinion so I can't see the problem.

As for the personal dislikes, he states how to turn the said features off, so I can't see the problem with stating that he personally did not like them.
