Dante

Re: nah...

Fuck me you're tiresome.

Apple: Blue-shirts can fix iOS Maps in their spare time

Dante

Re: Didn't take long...

There's more reasons to dislike Apple than petty OS tribalism.

'What was Google going to do, force Apple to change its mind?'

Dante

Re: "We think it would have been better if they had kept ours."

I've read (although I can't remember where) that Google WERE willing to license the turn-by-turn, but Apple refused the conditions - I think it was greater brand visibility and *think* deeper API integration.

Re: Let me just throw a question out there

Key evidence in Assange case dissolves

Dante

Re: @Acx

"Condoms also contain a spermicide which may have destroyed the DNA so it could be that the chances of retrieving a usable sample were slim to start with. Hardly reason to claim evidence tampering."

Jury awards Apple $1bn damages in Samsung patent case

Dante

Not what I'm saying... I'm saying that software patents stifle innovation... would you like to live in a world where BT held the patents to hyperlinks?

Dante

I don't care for both the corps involved, but the fact that software patents were upheld (scrolling list bounce back, and phone number recognition are the two I picked up on) is a mortal wound for innovation.

Shame on you Apple.

It seems you only get extradited to the US when the "crime" is only a crime in the US and not in the UK.

Virgin Media's latest throttling rules

Dante

Re: download at a different time

A big selling point for digital distribution is instant - having to stagger getting a crital patch for a game until the ISP says it's ok to do so is not good.

Coders' 'lives sucked out' by black-and-white Visual Studio 11

Dante

Re: I am with the one other person here who has actually used VS11.....

Software maker sorry for trying to silence security researcher

Dante

Ran it on my S 2 and it wasn't there - may be dependant on provider, etc...

PETA claims anti-Mario campaign was a joke

Dante

"Call of Duty, where characters shoot and kill animals, or in Dog Wars, where players have fun fighting and torturing dogs, it sends a dangerous message that this kind of behaviour is acceptable"

Really, it doesn't.

Shit like this angries up my blood and that's as a veggie for over 20 years.
