pacomacBook publishers and writers should be able to set their own prices, not Amazon. Everyone is entitled to earn a living. It was Amazon that wants to be able to determine the price, not the other way around. Apple and the accused book publishers were setting the price via the agency model...

Apple is so used to exclusively restricted products, the Apple Store agency model, and customers that will pay anything for Apple products, it's not surprising that Apple thought they could do the same with ebooks in the real "free marketplace". This is a great example of how the world according...

Depends what is meant by significant numerical date... Next year there is 11/12/13 and the year after, for people in the US, there is 12/13/14.

"It is evident in these cases – and the multitude of cases filed by plaintiffs and other pornographers represented by their counsel..." Love how Comcast wrote that! It implies that all plaintiffs in cases involving Comcast are pornographers.

This report is a perfect example of a bean-counting analyst sitting in a cubicle that never goes out into the real world. Microsoft may embed Windows phone into various products, but where's the consideration that Apple has embedded the iPhone into their fans' brains for many years now? To grow...

Anyone notice the his body language and where his hand goes when romantic mode starts? :D

There is a saying... "Winners innovate, losers litigate" There is a point where certain functionality is so natural or common that it goes beyond belief that someone can claim to own the rights. Data tapping? Seriously? Isn't that akin to clicking a hyperlink with your finger instead of a...

The part that made me laugh was when the man that says it feels like detention is the one that screams FREEDOM with his arms over his head. Some double entendre going on there! Also liked the stereotypical die-hard apple fan... macbook, lawn chair, ponytail and beard, headphones, with several...

IPOs have had a tough time lately. Many planned IPOs were withdrawn during the past year and those that did launch didn't do as well as expected. Let's hope Facebook does better than the others. A Standford dropout?

NakalBut it has to be fake, you cannot see the stars! (well at least that is what the fake moon landing people say....) donotdisturbIt is not real image. I see aliased pixels on the globe edge.No real photo looks like that! If you read the article is says "According to NASA, the image is a...

johnsmithhatesVLC"to become a male in female clothing" I guess this means Microsoft only promotes crossdressers at the top executive level. LOL

Everyone is using the word absurd for this case and it's justified. With the RIAA, it's been a long history of absurdity. Here are some examples: 1> Industry converts from vinyl to digital and albums go from $12 to $16 overnight to "cover the cost of the new digital media". ABSURD! Digital...

Apple's not going to deny the photo was altered. They will simple say everyone his holding the photo incorrectly.
