Figures. It was a lawsuit by the original Atari company that created the legal precedent for copyright's applicability to the look and feel of a video game, back when video games were just starting to have graphics detailed enough to represent anyth…

There are some rumors that can be dismissed out of hand because they resemble nothing Apple has ever done or ever would do, and this is one of them.

Right, like how Pac-Man put K.C. Munchkin on the map.

As a side note, fake IDs had no role in 9/11. The hijackers boarded using their real names.

This sets a dangerous precedent of allowing members of Congress to have influence in society.

This is the last straw. You can email theambassador@syrembassy.net and demand that the iPhone ban be reversed, or else all necessary force will be used to remove the Syrian government. Syrian law is irrelevant because the government is illegitimate.…

I've never read about anybody connected with game development saying Apple consistently supported the gaming industry or made gaming a priority. I've read the opposite. When I think of games I don't think of Steve Jobs. Gaming was limited on the Mac…

Could this be used somehow to replace MobileMe's keychain syncing or other kinds of data syncing between Macs? I'm thinking, data in the drop box and aliases on the Macs in the locations where the data is normally.

This is ridiculous. Suppose I had my own home server and devised a way to listen to it on any of my devices anywhere. What's the difference? The same person who bought the music is the person listening to it. Why does the music industry have a say a…

Anyone who's thinking of posting criticism of this patent should first remember where they first experienced slide to unlock on a touch screen. It was probably on an Apple device.

This is not the debut of this franchise on iOS. The GTA IV-era Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars was designed specifically for handhelds, originally the Nintendo DS and subsequently the PlayStation Portable, then ported to iPhone/iPod touch and final…

The problem for Apple is that other companies are now free to call their touchscreens Multi-Touch even though they lack the features covered by Apple's patents. Multi-Touch will therefore not be associated with Apple's unique features. The court …

I doubt the iPhone could still broadcast but the Find My iPhone service might return the location of the last ping?

In theory, doesn't EVERY eBay listing for used Apple products "violate" Apple's trademarks? Could Apple prevent any Apple products from ever being advertised for secondhand sale? How much of life happens only with consent of corporations?

I want to own irrevocable copies of music. I don't know where the supposed desire for streaming is coming from but I suspect it's coming from Wall Street which wants Apple to put out cheap no-storage devices to expand their market and from teleco…

I jailbroke because until this year there was not a supported iPhone carrier in the upper midwest. AT&T was not here and Verizon didn't have the iPhone. The only apps I downloaded that were not from the app store were to workaround limitations o…

"St John Smythe" was an alias of James Bond (Roger Moore) when he saved Silicon Valley in A View to a Kill.
