Hard to know what counts as a lot of high end phones. The four weeks around the sale of the new iPhone is like the music singles chart at Christmas, almost nothing happens before Christmas except people taking advantage of the lull, then th

Trade dress is about what the average consumer sees and perceives? First to market matters here because even with a lot of patents covering the outside of the product there's so much more involved in trade dress. Therefore it doesn't matter

The products are (or could be) equally tainted worldwide, because taint is a social structure not a legal term. The patents bit was Samsung's countersue, Apple won the trade design part. Samsung are copying Apple, does it matter which court

There was something in the far off front page news about some people are worried the physical network is too easily attacked. There's a lot to secure even before you call it a human right surely? I plan to visit Telehouse Docklands and see

I've had this and can't turn off notifications messages of important messages. It's the same three people, I guess it's facebook's engagement tactic.

It shows Kim Kardashian on the home page. Who are you aiming at, her fans or technical people? Surely there's someone in between like Brian Cox/Neil deGrase Tyson or Bradley Wiggins/Shaq?

Pick something you enjoy using, like a game. Pick something with a clear process (of taking patches from new people) that you can see working. Pick a project where there's a clear todo list. e.g. When I learn Lua i'll contribute to Corsixth

Other than HTML/JavaScript the only one I know is http://getmoai.com/ which uses Lua. JavaScript might still be something to look into, but even in node you'd need an api or everything.

I went into the article thinking why isn't OGG good enough, and the xkcd joke about 15 different standards. I left pleased about this new standard (from an advert, any downsides?) but need some patent assurances. If Mozilla are happy will e

The AppleTV? I don't have one, and so far it's not getting app store access. It's a shame it might need a jailbreak but I'd do it.

Solve it by detailing the past, not defining a new format to replace all others (aka format #11). I got the impression they wanted to to the latter until the second half. Sounds a reasonable plan, though scanning in all sorts of records bet

If you are protecting Windows users then mcafee and clamavx seem to be recommended but panda, Sophos and kasperky exist. If you are protecting yourself uninstall your weaknesses, Microsoft office, java and flash.

You lost a lot of people by saying kool aid. OSX's major malware holes are Microsoft Office, java and flash. After that the malware has to depend on the user putting their password.

Things like this (and twitter image viewers like Photofon) are very useful for getting just the links from a list you don't follow but maybe make. If not already can you make this work for lists?

It made 14x as much for the US economy (including inspiring American children, excluding inspiring other children/nations). Can that sort of success ever be considered a waste over a long enough timeframe?

That would put all the clever people in a minority party, where they are the opponents to the politicians and the media. Best to guarantee scientists a place in all governments (like the Surgeon General) without making it a political positi

Whereever the line is, corruption will push politicians to go over the line. In the smallest possible government only judges are publically employeed, and even they could be bribed. Look at Europe, it's big government. There's less corrupti
