Windows 7 made 64 bit mainstream and also has native TRIM support for SSD's.
Windows 8 better have something more than widgets or I'm guessing it will be dismissed as another Vista.
Reading this makes me wonder what kind of nazi prison state has the US become...tearing people's property apart looking for a plant? seriously effed up.
US gov doesn't care about piracy in this case. It was just an easy money grab. They will easily confiscate over $200 million in cash and assets from this.
I hope mobile devices become like PC's where you can buy just the hardware with no OS installed. I will choose the OS that infringes on the most patents :)
Would be nice to see Apple let their products do the talking...instead of their patent lawyers. As long as they beat down the competition they can keep making one-button devices for idiots.
I think Apple is going after the device makers because they have weaker patent profiles than Google. Apple may also want to see how they fare against the smaller fish before taking on the big kahuna.
Patent laws are outdated and hinder progress. It sucks that companies that make quality and innovative products have to worry about getting sued left, right, and center.
The WHO predicted we would all be dead from SARS by now.
If this kind of thing worries you then you had better stop eating, drinking, breathing, showering, because they will find something in everything that is "potentially carcinogenic".
