And Apple has said before that they'd rather have these companies (Samsung, HTC, etc) make a license agreement for the patents (like Microsoft's and HTC's deal with each other) rather than sue them or try to block the sale of their products.
It's not like Apple's the only one that does this either, most recently Motorola/Google tried to block iPhone/iPad sales in Germany over iCloud.
Our industry is quickly becoming a clusterfuck of lawsuits, so I don't understand why you feel the need to excuse Apple's behavior by pointing fingers, when they started this whole mess in the first place. I don't see how the old proverb "you get what you sow" doesn't apply here.
Also, what was Google's involvement in this? Stop reading the blogs of shills.
1) Apple is the largest company in the world (by market cap - Samsung $120bn approx, Apple $540bn). Specific to smartphones, Samsung ship more smartphones (by unit), Apple have higher revenues and profits from smartphones.
2) Apple have expressly stated that they have no interest in licensing their patents to Android manufacturers.
Suing over "auto-correcting typed text" features, come on. I think they are the only ones doing this sort of thing at the moment, it is patent trolling at its worst with entry level features. We are not talking about defending any sort of innovation here, it is simply gaming a flawed system to hold on to sales while keeping direct competition down.
For those people who don't want to give their share to the government would have a hard time in complying on this rule. But if they believe that in giving they are receiving more, then there will be no problem.
When I was in grade school, life was so hard for us. There were times that my teacher won’t allow me to take the final test because my tuition fee is not yet paid. My family also experienced a Christmas without food on out table. I remember my eldest brother swear that he wont allow that thing to happened to us again.
Now, I am a fulltime office worker, a student currently taking Masteral degree, and a part-time worker online. I am doing everything to have money. Why? Because I don’t want to experience the hardship that we’ve been through before. I want to give my parents a good life and let them experience to travel, eat in a fancy restaurant, wear a signture clothes, and do the stuff that rich people can do.
Further, I want to sponsor children and send them to school because I don’t want them to experience the humiliating situation I have been.
I am not yet rich, still working towards that goal. If I reach it, surely, I am not the only person who will be benefited, but the also the people around me.
No, Facebook is not more addictive than cigarettes. Facebook may be addictive at first but when you reach the saturation point, the addiction diminish. Unlike cigarettes, the more you smoke, the more you become addicted to it and it is hard to remove from your system.
I agree that there is no algorithm for love. But I think the reason of the dating website of matching the people with the common attitude or interest is that when they go out, at least they have the common denominator. And from the common denominator, people can explore or discover if they are really compatible with their partner.
Maybe more addictive than cigarette or alcohol at first, but there is a saturation point. Unlike cigarette or alcohol, there is no saturation, only addiction.
Yes, based on the article, there were the application was already used to two schizophrenia and the result is promising. I hope this will work out well.
According to psychology field, there is no medicine for this kind of problem. So I hope that this new discovery will help.
There are medicines, but the effectiveness is very hit-or-miss and the side effects can be horrid. Schizophrenia also is often accompanied by feelings of paranoia, which, combined, can make it difficult for patients to stay on medication.
What I meant by medicine is that it cannot help person to get well. Drinking medicine should be maintained, or else the patient will hear again the voice that is only in his mind. Not like flu or fever, a patient can get well if he drinks the prescribed medicine.
Ahh, I see. "There is no cure" is the phrase we would generally use. And, yes, unfortunately, there is no cure. We don't remotely understand what causes it, much less how to fix it. :(
