An attempt at redesigning this chart from The Guardian to make the plaintiffs and defendants a bit more clear.

Edit: HTC has agreed to licensing terms on Microsoft’s patents and there is currently no lawsuit.

Another Edit: Updated to show Motorola’s Lawsuit targeting Apple.

“You don’t need to see his identification.”

On November 21, 2010, I was allowed to enter the U.S. through an airport security checkpoint without being x-rayed or touched by a TSA officer. This post explains how.

Edit: Minor edits for clarity. I have uploaded the audio and it is available

rufus:

My dictionary is bigger than your dictionary. This OED 2nd Ed was payment for a pair of chapters written in the Oxford Handbook for Surgical Cross-cover. Having carried it up four flights of stairs today, at some cost to my back, I’m looking forward to long lazy games of Scrabble, using this behemoth as the house dictionary.

Ninite Blog: How Ninite was named by a computer program

Ninite Blog: How Ninite was named by a computer program:

Naming is easy. I like to pick something that suggests the concept and has a good sound to it. Our product was initially Volery. The internal name for the web code is dancecard. You get the idea.

The problem is the flat .com namespace. Context disappears. In the real world apple can refer to…

We’re incredibly excited about this announcement because we think it’s a giant advance for application management and third-party patching on Windows. Ninite One now supports selecting applications to install or update on the command-line.

When you combine this with Ninite’s /silent switch…

We launched Ninite exactly one year ago: 22 October 2009. It has been a great year.

In that time we’ve added a boatload of new features to both Ninite and Ninite Pro. From download acceleration to automatic language selection and much more, there’s an enormous amount of technology behind…

Wie viel Oper braucht das Land?

Sat, 12 Nov 2011 14:45:46 -0500

janrymon:

In der Debatte um Kultursubventionen regt sich Unmut. Längst gehört es zum guten Ton, vor allem die Opernhäuser anzugreifen. Dabei sind sie viel besser als ihr Ruf.

Seit November 2010 fragt der Berliner Tagesspiegel auf seiner Website: Sollen Tickets für die Oper subventioniert werden? Aktuell wurden rund 8500 Stimmen abgegeben, 58 Prozent davon antworteten mit Ja, 42 Prozent mit Nein. Eine knappe Mehrheit. Inspiriert wurde die Umfrage von Zahlen aus dem Hauptausschuss des Berliner Abgeordnetenhauses, wonach “der Steuerzahler” 2009 eine Eintrittskarte für die Staatsoper Unter den Linden mit 186,10 Euro, für die Komische Oper mit 181,10 Euro und für die Deutsche Oper mit 171,40 Euro bezuschusst hat. Und schon ratterte und rechnete es in den Köpfen vieler selbst ernannter Sarrazine, was sich nicht alles Vernünftigeres, Schöneres, ja Besseres (ökonomisch wie moralisch) mit diesem Geld anfangen ließe.

josephstewart:

So I just read a comment that made me look at this performance in a completely new light. While no doubt it is a brilliant marriage of acting and singing, and you can understand the emotions that Bernadette as Sally is feeling. The thing that has been highlighted to me is the fact that this song is performed in a sequence that is essentially a fictitious reality. Loveland is a distorted and ultimately disturbing parody of a Follies. Should Bernadette as Sally be performing it as a musical number as if she were in a show or is it an extension of how she is feeling? The more I watch other performances of it I wonder which is, if there is one, a right way to play it. I hope i’ve explained myself well enough, it is of course a terribly hard show to articulate yourself with but anyways, please look at it and let me know your thoughts fellow sondheimites!

gryffindor-consulting-detective:

Only thing is that another girl missed out on the part she was going for and has now been given some of my finale song. I’m really grateful and happy for the part, don’t get me wrong, but it feels slightly bitter-sweet as the reason I really wanted the part is the song she’s now been given. It’s…

Rocketboom: The Top 15 Most Bizarre Sea Animals

Rocketboom: The Top 15 Most Bizarre Sea Animals:

#15. The Colossal Squid

On average, the Colossal squid is only about 3 feet longer than the Giant, but it’s much heavier, and it has light-emitting organs that marine biologists suspect may act as a cloaking device. That’s like a Klingon Bird of Prey that doubles as a Calamari buffet.
