not everyone has Medicaid, usually the lower middle class gets hosed (too much money to qualify for Medicaid, but barely making ends meet.) Now that you mentioned it, they probably they charge individuals well over $100K if Medicaid pays $6

Their ability to eat everything is actually an asset, they're relatively easy to raise. Cows and sheep not so. Any health issues are seen as a cost of doing business, after all they are a million ways to get sick and die in the third world.

This parasite can be eradicated worldwide. We need pigs to be penned where they cannot eat human feces - its that simple. Not simple at all. A trip outside the first world will tell you that raising pigs is not as easy as you make it. Not

all other things aside, that $66K tag can send 95% to see a bankruptcy lawyer.

Honestly I thought about it and wanted to check but many brands have been bought and sold so many times :). The idea was that each unique car has their own look and design and that sets them apart from the rest.

The other side: I would not spend $X billion and risk bankruptcy to invent something that can be stolen 48 hours after I patent it. Do you see the problem with that argument? You're hurting consumers when you don't allow companies to profit

Not just that, China needs to draw a line in the sand or they will be seen as totally toxic by Western companies. That would mean less jobs, investments and ultimately http://www.fullissue.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Guilloti... for th

iPhone or Android is more than one feature, so "check LG Prada" isn't enough. The only Apple product I have is iTunes and spent probably $50 with them. Any more insults?

We're going on a tangent. The idea is that whoever comes out first and patents "it" get some exclusive use. After that it becomes public so others can use and build upon it. If Braun was still marketing those products they might have compla

That cannot be solved in a few HN posts; judges, juries and appeal courts decide that. My point was that certain designs are unique, virtually all cars have four tires, round steering wheel, baggage area, airbags etc but we kinda know when

1977 was the latest design unless I didn't read it correctly. Any patent protection would have expired already.

If the "new maps in iOS6 because [are] pretty much a copy of the Google Maps app" then Google should be able and should sue Apple. Regarding design protection: Ford can't copy Jaguar or Ferrari, can it?

Apple is too big for that, at some point comrades from the Politburo start getting involved, as it hurts business.

Oh no, not another thread about whether patents should exist or not or for how many years. The fact is that they exist, iPhone was REVOLUTIONARY when announced and soon after others started cloning it. Go and look at Samsung and Android pre

No, not yet (~30% share) but what you said it's not true. They cannot do "whatever they want." Eventually the Feds will start asking questions.

It's their company. They can do whatever they want. If you don't like it, that's great. Dissenting opinions are a foundation of this great country. But Apple also deserves the right to not care what you think, and not care if you go somewh

"For a query like "credit card", those non-organic results seem much more, if not just as, relevant than the organic results" That's almost certainly on purpose to get better ad click ratio. Google manually inspects all major keywords, yo

Over the long run, maybe and that's if people notice it and if Google isn't able to buy traffic like it does with Firefox. Google loves to test things and they can find the sweet spot on the most profitable SERPs and niches. The problem for

"So that ad was quite helpful for me, because it took me to a great page." No doubt, especially since you work for Google. When ads are similar looking to content why even bother to do a much better job to find content when ads can fill tha

Number aside...18% or 21.47% the trend is obvious to everyone. (I know you don't believe what you wrote but you had to say it anyway. Google's attitude changed in 2004 when you added ads on top, so attitude shifts to justify whatever you do
