Anecdotal and unscientific in terms of not comparing apples to apples. You would need to show your friends the posts they missed at best, or at least show a competing service, over the same set of messages, which isn't possible. The fact th

Note that facebook could have handled this by letting users filter, exactly how G+ does it where you put your friends together in circles then you say, "I want this circle, now I want this circle"... FB is controlling that filter because th

I fired up conan, figured out the key mappings, then my stored neurons kicked in, found the hidden life then immediately got to the third level without dying. God help anyone trying to figure this game out for the first time. I want to use

I haven't logged into facebook for a long time but this seems to be what's happening. x) Disallow users from merely being a fan of the page, instead replacing that with "like" x) Now make it so businesses can post to their page and the post

Microsoft realized these privacy rule changes allow for things like google now, so after criticizing google they realized their stupidity, then copied google, which is their current business plan as of late. I'm betting they're working on t

Except that is not how antitrust works in the US. Competitors may be harmed if it is for the benefit of consumers. And it may not always be evident that the consumer benefits right away.

I would say he doesn't know how to play the game. How you play the game is you never break the rules while you make sure people know you're not the bitch. As the person above you said, he should have made vague threats. This is negotiation

In the US at least, you must prove that the consumer was harmed in order to have a successful antitrust complaint, and that's going to be pretty hard with google. With microsoft, it was a pretty clear pattern, ie rebates to OEMs to thwart c

True, Tim Cook is smart. He also makes sure Google quickly submits this by... suing every android partner of note. Hey, wait a minute.

Like notifications?

by fkdjs 14y ago
And you talk as if iOS didn't copy from android(notifications). That's right, Apple stole Google's innovation. I believe you ignoring this elephant in the room is a logical fallacy.

by fkdjs 14y ago
And iOS has robbed Android blind (notifications). Anyone can come out tomorrow and write their own search engine. Like Bing. Hell, Bing has even been caught red handed copying. Yet still Google makes money. Anyone remember Google suing Micr

If anyone should be punished it's the judges. When lawyers tried to use copyright arguments where they should have used patents, Alsup was all over that. Where Apple should have used copyright claims if they wanted to talk about similaritie

Minority Report had the concept, but with two hands. Something new would be the notifications stolen from android. But in any case, it's a patent and companies are required to protect their innovation!

"Pinch to zoom" is an innovation? Motorola recently sued Apple, and one of the patents covers siri's audible voice prompt, so Apple will have to innovate around that. Also, media playback resume among several devices is Google's innovation.

A shameless knock off copies _everything_. A shameless rolex copies everything from a rolex. Rolex doesn't copy anything from their knockoffs. There has to be one way copying to classify a product as a knockoff. Instead, Apple has copied ma

It's the centerpiece for interacting with apps. It's key. In fact, I'm betting it contributed to people confusing android with ios, it's that similar and pervasive. Before they were ripped off the biggest complaint about the iphone was it d

Uh, Apple has copied android. iOS'es most fundamental feature, notifications, was ripped off from android.

by fkdjs 14y ago
And Apple made a conscious decision to steal android notifications. It goes both ways and Apple can no longer claim to be the only princess on the block who everyone copies.

If you compare the two, then you must compare apples with apples. That is, you must compare relational DBs where every column is indexed since with column-oriented DBs, you can search by arbitrary columns without having to worry about which

by fkdjs 14y ago
Which is a false dichotomy, if you use the right storage mechanism for your column-oriented DB, the comparable relational DB storage will actually be larger since it has to index every column to provide the equivalent of what you can do wit

"Woops you want to query that column? Better wait 12 hours while we add an index to petabytes of data! Oh shoot, and that column too? Another 12 hours, and you have to use both columns in the where to use the index. " If you are storing xml

I would say this site is too nice to mysql. For stored procedures, mysql had those later whereas postgresql got those right early on. Mysql stored procedures suck donkey balls compared to postgres. Postgres in general just feels better desi
