Well, this is good news.

Now when the Googlenators track me down with the help of the hovering AmazOMG drones, they can rip me apart faster than before.

Awesome.

MtGox, that bastion of unregulated e-currency Bitcoin, turns to Texas judge for protection

Can't we just give them all monopoly money and call it even? Don't think the difference (if any) would be realized.

Apple granted patent for two-faced iPhone with wraparound touchscreen

I've patented a medical device that continually repairs human cells. When it's finally created by some university, I will become rich by suing the hell out of them.

I used to think it was impossible to be this absolutely duh, but when a friend recently told me how his boss asked him how you handed people stuff (just a regular item) and he showed him how, his boss got upset and called him a smartass.

Bitcoin bank Flexcoin pulls plug after cyber-robbers nick $610,000

MooseNC

Bitcoin profiting step-by-step!

1 - Create a BC "bank" (Make sure to use lots of buzzwords on the site!)

2 - Entice people to dump tons of BC in said bank (Hey, those were some good buzzwords.)

3 - Mysterious hackers steal all the BC (Oops! Our bad, but not our responsibility, RTFM)

4 - Profit! (When you cash out the BC that was "stolen")

Seems like a regular bank to me.

Apple throws sueball at China's patent office over Siri clone

MooseNC

"During that case Apple’s lawyers maintained that although the two products are designed to perform similar tasks they employ different underlying technology. "

Wait, Apple is using a defense that it is usually litigating AGAINST???

Score one for legal irony.

Bejeweled and Bust-a-Move are so awesome, I wish someone would completely rip them off, put a veneer of new graphics on them, tweak the random number generator towards constant failure, and then sucker people into buying microtransactions.

Whining and complaining about something that "can't" be done while it is already being done on a large scale is quite asinine.

Apple Mac Pro: It's a death star, not a nappy bin, OK?

MooseNC

Re: Oooo, the shiny!

I just priced it, with everything the same except for twice the memory (system and graphics) and a 240GB ssd instead of 256, the price was $2980. Notice, this was retail, so about 20% marked up from what I could get it from tech data or ma labs.

Try actually checking instead of ingesting and regurgitating the electronic excrement that frequently spews from macrumors.

Trio allege in court: You sold our ZIP codes, Apple, now hand over $5m!

Sometimes.

"...ZIP codes, which are not needed to process transactions..."

A lot of places now require the billing address ZIP as an additional layer of security. Have to enter it every time, at every gas (petrol) station I go to.

Systemax director Carl Fiorentino bribery trial moves to Florida

MooseNC

"This was after it found that he had "fraudulently" banked $400k in compensation from firms that traded with Systemax between 2006 and 2010. The federal agency also alleged that he had stolen $200k worth of company merchandise. He was forced to pay a $65k penalty."

So, he stole/scammed $600k and only had to pay back $65k with absolutely no jail time?

WOW! It pays to be a white-collar criminal!

I wonder how much I could get for all these staplers....

Apple demands Samsung flogged for 'unethical' court doc leak

MooseNC

Tech-Fashion

Phones have changed in the past ten years. This is not a new idea. Technology changes its shape and form because people demand new things, and their taste change. Samsung's phone changing from 2006-2010 is nothing special. If phones didn't change, we'd all be carrying around 15# bags with a corded wireless phone in it.

So...Apple wants Samsung to stop making phones that the public wants because they are what the public wants?

I'm just waiting for an Apple lawyer to stand up in court and say, 'It's always about Samsung! Samsung, Samsung, Samsung!!' then twirl their hair and run out of the court.

Design patent?

Has anyone SEEN this "design" patent? It's for a thin, rectangular computer with a touch screen, one connector, and one button/hole on the top. This is so absolutely generic and common sense as to be laughable. Kellogg needs to try and patent a cardboard box with flaps and food stored inside and then sue everyone.

From what I see...

The Samsung has a back camera. Not mentioned in the "design" patent.

No size was mentioned in the patent.

Three buttons and two slots on the Samsung, not to mention the speaker grille, light sensors and front camera.

No colours were specified.

And the Samsung has writing on it that strangely enough, DOESN'T say Apple...

Apple is deathly afraid of losing market share and those HUGH profit margins from all the slave labour they outsource to Foxconn. They haven't done anything original since the first iMac. They simply take an existing product, go and bedazzle it a bit, then tell everyone they invented it and they have to buy it or be laughed at for being "uncool" at Starbucks.

Apple desperate to prevent nightmare scenario of iPad in Iranian hands

MooseNC
Stop

Blah, where are the fact checkers?

"Shabet says she lives in America and has no intention of exporting the device."

INCORRECT.

She was attempting to purchase the product to gift to a cousin in Iran. You cannot export to Iran!!! This isn't a simple anti-Arab thing, it's a FEDERAL LAW.

Welcome to America. Cry and whine when you attempt to violate federal law and everyone will feel sorry for you.

Well, why do you think they still use old-ass, slow chips in the space probes? They tolerate a whole lot more crap. Same thing at Apple. If I scream and yell and tell you how much you want what I have behind my back, you're gonna want it.

Okay, thanks for that clarification.

Re: ouch

7.6 million sheep, interesting.

Actually, it's probably 2.533 million sheep as they bought three iPads (Not the kind women use, but close) to cover if they lose it, and to brainwash their child 24/7.
