I really hate it when fucktards like this try to be controversial by burning bibles and korans. All they do is try to attract attention and shameless self promotion at the expense of others beliefs. As an athiest I am sick of mentally retarded individuals who society should have stopped early on via enforced sterilisation or their parents (aunt/ uncle). This shit puts our troops at risk. Knock it off arseholes.
Even Chinas leaders acknowledge that their current course is unsustainable, hence purchasing huge swathes of agricultural land in Europe, South America and Africa. It is therefore likely there will be some type of conflict as they try to protect their interests, hence the stealth jets, aircraft carriers etc. They are looking to widen their reach. A few years ago a college suggested several options in regards to the increasing military use of cyber attacks and espionage by the Chinese, all of which points to a conflict in the next 150 years.
To avoid this there are several options that should be taken now.
Completely excluding them from the world wide web. whether physically or shutting them out via firewalls and excusion of chinese characters in operating systems and browsers.
Blockade all trade and technology transfer to China.
Imposition of a political ban on the Communist party and their little Princlings who like living in the west, fake or bought degrees from Harvard and Ferraris paid for by graft.
A population cull
and his most extreme suggestion being the "Nuclear option"
Was with o2 for their coverage, but switched from o2 for the first time because my wife was on it. That was 18 months ago. Here is my experience.
Crap customer service, throttled speed to 0.30 Mbps on H/edge, constantly switching to 3g reducing my battery. not too bothered as I do not use a lot of web data but do pay £40+ a month. But was annoyed to find out that all new customer and existing customers where their contract term expires will be throttled regardless of package, ie unlimited data! Soon as my wifes contract came up for renewal, and without renewing her speed dropped from 7Mbps to 1Mbps. Tested over a three month period. Yes i am that anal specially when our household pays over £100 to T-mobile a month v VirginTV who get £40 and provide a more services that we actually use, including 50meg broadband and TIVO.
Post merger my phone was constantly switching between t-mobile and Orange. When on Orange no calls got through, text service was shite, texts were duplicated etc. On Orange I could only use 3g, no HSDPA - most sites and checking emails would result in a time-out/ retry. As soon as things were finalised between T&O I have been stuck on 3g and rarely have full bar. My guess is 4G is just a headline grabber. T-mobile has never been interested in data customers and likes to appeal to texters and facebookers. More than likely on 4G your max speed with unlimited internet packages will be 1Mbps as they will never fully invest in the infrastructure.
Plan on buying out the remainder of my contract this month as my wifes is renewing on the 19th. Probably moving back to o2 or Three. Been impressed with Three's website, customer service and more importantly their speeds on my mobile broadband for my laptop and tablet.
its not that he skipped it but ignored what it said/ Koh instructed!
compensation should be for loss of sales to apple due to Samsungs infringement and not be punitive. The dude is a self serving douche who has handed Samsung a very good card for the appeal along with the others including that they were only penalised for deleting emails, even though apple had done the same. Most judges would have spotted that one or at least cared.
All you have to do is point over to groklaw and see why the jury foreman right royally f'ed up apples win. Can not wait for the appeal. Apple will likely only walk away with 200,000. Fanboys take special note of the judges instructions in regards to damages. I think it was no.34.
An the jury foremans own patent application is just as pathetic as Apples. I can see Tivo/ or any media set top box maker shaking in their boots. he owns and developed no tech and wants a patent on video recording, tv internal storage, attached wireless keyboard and digital media streaming. After reading more on the dude I think he could have been a Samsung plant to screw up the trial!
this essentially comes down to Nokai having spent the last two years negotiating with apple over licensing fees.
for some time now analysts who cover apple and nokia for investment companies have know about this and it will have no impact on share prices.
Apple does not agree to the the amount Nokia is asking for and has stepped away from the table, hoping to put it before a judge who will decide according to apple a reasonable amount for the license of said patents.
Point 1 - APPLE IS INFRINGING NOKIA PATENTS, tried and tested in previous suits
Point 2 - Nokia will clearly not get the extortionate amounts they are requesting
Point 3 - Apple will not have and injunction to stop selling icraps sorry meant iPhones
Point 4 - Apple will cough up the cash sooner or later
Point 5 - Things will rumble along.
