   Apple logo suit from 2009: http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/apple-woolworths-in-austr... Your opinion is demonstrably wrong . Bonus link, what you're experiencing is an example of cognitive bias because of priming. With the Samsung cas

   Reminded me that Apple had a trademark suit against Woolworths (Woolies) in Australia a few years ago for using a 'fresh fruit' logo that looked a bit like an Apple. http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/apple-woolworths-in-austr... My takea

    Just speculating, but someone probably thought "If they're not going to help us promote the brand, why should we pay for their plane ticket? They can just buy their own" ...without considering that the bloggers might not be as flush with ca

    I have this issue on an iPad 1. It's not just 'retina' displays. It doesn't bother me though.

    Pretty naive to think the President is the savvy one deciding to do a reddit AMA, and not one of the many, many people in his reelection campaign PR team. Anyway, it reminded me that the news of his first election was the highest voted subm

    I find it a shame he's associating various, really clever artistic stlyes, techniques amd works with particular chemicals he's ingested/consumed. It cheapens his art and is making false equivalences.

    You make an assertion about future ctions by Apple as if it was fact. I tend to think Apple was particularly butt-hurt specifically over the trade dress stuff (rightfully so IMO). Why would this ruling lead to other flavours of Android bein

    At this stage, I feel like the only way Apple can have another '...and one more thing' reveal that makes us go "wow!" is if they have something software related that they've kept under wraps. A complete rethink of iTunes would be such a thi

    And you know you're in the minority. It's not even apathy, either. It takes effort to prove to a site you're not a spammer, astro-turfer etc. so most people don't bother because the barrier is too high. I could care less about a bunch of un

    Un-anti-aliased (aliased?) Verdana at a certain size (11 or 12 point? Can't recall) was the very best pixellated optimised font for the web when Gruber designed his blog. He hasn't redesigned since.
