Google's legal boss is fed up with patent warfare

It completely illustrate my point and i thank you for that.

Thinking that a delirious paranoid techno egocentrist could have patented the use of the keyboard with a computer in the 70's or 80's makes me shiver....

" '90s and early 00s has built up a backlog of problems. There was a 10- or 15-year period when "the issuance of software patents was too lax", he said, with patents going to unoriginal, vague proposals that have fuelled the litigation and legal trouble that is happening now. "

Who again is patenting "Unlock gesture", "similar design" and "one click action"?

Ho yeah, a true innovator...

Their marketing made you believe they are trustworthy. Maybe they are not.

Steve Jobs was a sad clown. Not much more. He happened to sell products he accidentally came upon. The true heritage is elsewhere.

Apple requires Mac App Store candidates to be sandboxed

Apple...

... will kill innovation. Too high walls, too much security overhead.

They don't want developpers to be able to DO BETTER on their own hardware.

That's why nothing major is never done on Macs, if it doesn't come from Apple.

Shame.

So yes 2GB is too low.

'Major' C++ revision receives standards blessing

I respectly

disagree. C is a breeze compared to 'modern' alternatives like Java, C# and C++.

But don't worry it's just me.

Herb Sutter

is higly tied with Microsoft interests. What could go wrong having private interests tinkering with C++?

I'll keep using C (there's already decents multi-core programming APIs) rather than the unfortunate "++" sequel.

iPad accessorizer gets into Bernie Madoff's pants

Yes i read before posting,

what i meant is that this kind of hype only can happen with an Apple product involved.

Don't get me wrong, i like Apple, but i don't like all the hype around it, largely maintened by blind fans. But this is another story...

Guess What

Windows or Linuw never branded themselves State of the art in security nor World most Advanced, and didn't called their tech support Geniuses.

They have their weaknesses, but at least they are more honests when it comes to talk about what they do.

On first day, Apple sells 50 Lions for every lion

There are some problems with your post.

Dual processor G4 != Dual Core.

It was 2 CPUs, a far less efficient design because they were limited by their I/O and bus speed.

It was nice for the time, but others did the same, and Apple charged a hefty premium for it.

I actually

didn't said the contrary.

But it was a mixed post, sorry for that.

"...head marketeer Phil Schiller...

.. said in a Thursday press release, exulting in his perception that "user reviews and industry reaction have been fantastic."

Well it's kind of his job to say so.

Beside, what was the last product Apple didn't brand as "Fantastic", "World most adavnced", ...

What puzzles me is that it continue working.

"... 3 per cent gave it the lowest rating of but one star"

And 10% gave a medium rating, so nearly 15% Apple's clients are from "unhappy" to "somewhat unhappy".

Gratz Apple!

Major overhaul makes OS X Lion king of security

It is not Apple source

but the *free* part they are obligated to republish by the very *free* licenses they build their closed source on.

But i didn't knew this site, thanks.

"...said the researchers,

...who spent the past few months analyzing the OS"

Since OSX is closed source, chances are that Apple paid this research to whitewash its recent troubles with malware.

Standard industry procedure.

SeaMicro pushes 'Atom smasher' to 768 cores in 10U box

Funnily enought

the Lotus Notes mafia downvoted massively ALL of my post on other topics as an illustration of the truths wrote here. Hehe.

No,

It's called KillNotes. But yes, it's still the same pile of crap.

IBM managed to fuck it up so bad everyone leave it for other solutions.

Interestingly, Notes consultants are the perfect reflection of their favorite system:

Worthless brainwashed incompetents who often adopts aggressive survival strategies by arguing tirelessly over Notes theorical goodness, for the sole sake of their vested interest.

I know it first hand by working with these "Notes programmers".

Yes im a bit pissed off.

Cheers.

.... Okay, so it's rubbish by-design.

'Meltdown Monday' Anonymous hackers leak military mails

"Find the flaws...

...publish your successes if you must, but have the decency to spare the innocent victims of your activities. Obscure personal data before you publish; otherwise you are considerably worse than those you are attempting to shame."

That would be from real hackers.

What they do is vandalism, and put shame on hackers.

They seems technically good. They should be even better by showing higher standards than the ones they attack.

Benchmarks

are nice for PR because it's so easy to make it say what you want.

But real life application can show diffrent results because it gave to deal with real life complexity, wich is NOT the mere sum of (theorical) scholar tests.

For now, any serious work is done either in C or in C++.

It sure does not mean it will be forever so.
