"Most Apple junkies" are probably more conservative than most Microcrap users. If anybody sounds like a "demoncrap", it is those that criticize computer users, just because they can't afford the best!

A U.S. jury on Friday said Samsung Electronics Co Ltd has infringed some of Apple Inc's patents, and that all of those patents are valid.
The verdict in the high-stakes trial between the two tech giants was still being read in a federal courtroom in San Jose, California, and not all of the key legal findings had been announced.

“Yeah!!!! Good news indeed (except for Apple haters of course).”
Sounds like the Democrats after the SCOTUS Obamacare ruling.
Then again, most Apple junkies act just like your average Democrat.
Xerox’s suit was dismissed because they took too long to file it. Apple was suing MS at the time and if Xerox sued Apple and won then both Apple and MS would have been liable to Xerox. Interesting enough is that Apple didn’t win the “look and feel” lawsuit against MS. Except for one tiny thing, the trash icon.
I don’t remember a Coke bottle being used in geometry.

COKE should sue Michelle Obama’s butt for stealing the shape of the COKE bottle.

Is that a true "patent" or might it be covered by copyright or trademark? Just curious.
“it’s good news that you can patent a shape?”
I don’t have a problem with that. Ny favorite guitar neck company is Warmoth. Fender said, “You’re making our necks! We’re going to sue.”
Warmoth said, “Yeah, we’re making Fender necks. Can we reach a licensing agreement?” They did. And they still make Fender necks that are better Than real Fender necks! Gibson won over their peghead shape. And that was an international case involving Japanese copies of Gibson guitars. And the copies were very good guitars that cost considerably less than Gibson’s inflated prices.
It is a true patent. Patents come in two basic flavors, a utility patent which covers a function action or process, and a design patent which covers, well, design.
A design is the shape and feel of something, a trade dress. The “look” that defines a product line.

Apple knows which of 3-4 hard drives, 2-3 video cards, and controls their BIOS. They have nothing near the variance that the PC has in architecture. The new machines have to be sent to the factory for a ram upgrade.
A $1500 Macbook Pro has parts worth about $500 - 600.
They have the luxury of no competition and only a few new products every year.
How long did it take for window resizing to move from one corner?
Therefore, the protection of the Coca-Cola trademark on the shape of its bottle would only be enforced in terms of its use for other beverages. If a manufacturer of motor oil or laundry detergent, for example, wanted to use the same shape in their bottles and had a brand name that consumers would never confuse with Coca-Cola, then they could probably do it without running into any legal problems.
Nonsense... Visual Studio C# and .Net has it beaten hands down.
Objective - C is nothing but [bracketed macros] or a big watery BM.
Yeah right. You are clearly blinded by some weird MS disease. Sheesh. Bigots are a bore.
As previously stated, "ignorance is bliss"!
How to Install RAM in Your Apple iMac With Intel Processor
I’m typing this on a MacBook Pro right now.
I’m only saying they are about 50% over priced.
Then again, most Apple junkies act just like your average Democrat.

Sure. Tell that to Rush Limbaugh.
You may need to learn Objective C. It is the language that the has most interest in the past year, along with Java. But by all means stick to C# - less competition.
BTW, I have seen macros in Objective C in years.

“”Most Apple junkies” are probably more conservative than most Microcrap users. If anybody sounds like a “demoncrap”, it is those that criticize computer users, just because they can’t afford the best!”
See what I mean? The exact same snotty condescending attitude you normally see from your average lefty is personified even in conservatives that project from their love of iProducts.
Quite frankly the attitude of that company is as far from conservative as you can get.
Cant win with capitalism, so get the courts (A California one at that) to rig up the market to protect yourself from other products.
All the while telling us how bad those products are! Cant have the plebs making a decision on their own and buying something that isnt from Apple, can we?
haven’t seen macros in years
