Vaping is much less harm than smoking. And vaping is all but imperceptible to non smokers in the vicinity.

In hilariously petulant move, Apple shuts Texas stores and reopens them few miles down the road – for patent reasons

"It first lost the case in East Texas in 2012 and was ordered to pay $386m; it has since dragged the case out so long that the interest it has accumulated while appealing and refusing to pay the fine has hit $93.4m"

This is exactly the same way the USs' best inventor was hounded to death by The Radio Corporation of America.

Under no circumstances should appeals be accepted by the court unless previous awards have been paid.

Indeed.

I offered to show them the simplest, best performing EV driveline for consideration for their EV - friction, cost, weight, greatly down, packaging handling and NVH greatly up - conf., VTM.

"Thanks, but we've got our own inventions" ??????

Hope they are under no contract with guv for their £265M handout to use the best available tech. Have considered to publish my driveline the day before he announces his car so journos can ask "Where'd ya get such a 19thC driveline from, James?"

oops. NVH greatly down, too.

Re: Initial comments from a guy with a Class A.

"Only 4 wheels. Not a lot of traction when hauling 80,000 lbs at 60MPH+ ... or driving from Reno to Sacramento in the rain ... serious safety issue, probable show stopper."

Traction comes from mass, not the number of wheels -

But nevvermine, make them duals.
