I know there globalization but we now need to outsource programming to the Russians? I mean yeah the cold war maybe over as the US vs USSR but the way President for life Putin has been acting lately, it may come done to the US vs Russian Federation. What next? Combat uniforms from Peoplr’s Republic of China? Wait it is already happening!

common is supposed to be come on.

Oh, if we can’t burn coal, we can’t maintain manufacturing jobs. No we can’t maintain manufacturing jobs, because we can’t afford to pay wages while charging bottom dollar for manufactured goods.

While we fight to keep inflation down, and not pollute our air, corporate logic dictates that we must ship key jobs out of the country and hopefully our work force will rise to think smarter and work on loftier gains for humanity.

Why is it that people insist we continue to make things, when we are moving into the information age where we produce knowledge? What about the space age?

I know it’s only been one century, but common we have to get warp drive ready before the Borg arrive.

Al Gore is key to this. He helped invent the Internet.

You lose all credibility when you use “Apple needs to”.
Wait until you have 100 billion in cash then come back and tell us what Apple needs to do.

Listen up, did you even read the story……

They are making accusations without proof, Got it as they state ” WE THINK GORE HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT ”

Idiots are those who think everything the read and here is truth on the Internet, also they have an agenda to spin a non story into a real one, without fact or truth. It’s to easy to accuse, pointing fingers without facts to back up up just shows how many idiots have a problem with comprehension.

MDN – please stick to what you do well – present Apple-oriented news items and cutout the oblique news items which only expose your right-leaning political agenda.

He can accuse Gore all he wants, but this guys track record dosnt hold water, Another off the deep end Right wing Nut Job.

And without SOLID PROOF any fool can make an accusation, just another non story to have Apples name attached to it.

Anyone can spin anything to make it something it is not.

Like I used to tell people “that Double Fantasy album ain’t half bad…except for half of it”

I don’t think this word mean what you think they do.

But what about Flickr??? Still owned by Yahoo…?

“Borelli, for his part, has spent the past five years as a shareholder activist, buying small quantities of stock for the explicit purpose of making a fuss at shareholders meetings, mostly over companies’ efforts to curb global warming, which he argues “isn’t out of line with normal cycles in the environment.” Other Borelli targets have included General Electric, PG&E, Dow Chemical, Caterpillar, and John Deere.

“Borelli’s former role as a tobacco scientist at Phillip Morris makes him somewhat of a pioneer in the field of corporate-sponsored denial. As PM’s director of corporate scientific affairs during the 1990s, he worked to discredit studies indicating that secondhand smoke was unhealthy—a fact you won’t find in his online bio.

“In 2005, with global warming gaining political currency, Borelli hooked up with Steve Milloy, a well-known climate-change denier, Fox News commentator, and founder of JunkScience.com … These days, Borelli is a senior fellow at the National Center for Public Policy Research, a minor DC think tank best known for its ties to disgraced lobbyist and former board member Jack Abramoff.” MotherJones

I think that says it all.

Perhaps they should do some virtual ads that illustrate where they want to be and what they want their products to do. That video on MDN that Dell did was just idiotic.

Everyone wants to win. This attitude is not a distinctive. Somewhere along the line, you have to enjoy the challenge, love what you do, and do it better. It seems only appl has this kind of passion and determination at the moment. Selah.

HP’s $10 and Dell’s $6.67 combined, added together is $16.67….hang with me now, it gets tougher.

Apple’s original $100 divided by 6 is…wait-for-it… = $16.67 (again, rounding up the $0.01 for niceness…)

So, Q.E.D., from my ol’ doctoral days at the chalkboard…remember those..?), HP and Dell combined equalled 1/6 of Apple, or Apple was 6x greater than HP and Dell combined…phew…someone get me a drink.

This new math is same as the old math. YMMV.

There are lots of spaces to be filled as MS slowly fades.

NOT with the Meg Whitmans of this world – she is stuck in the 1950′s.

Poof! Nabisco just vanished!

EXACTLY. That court was itself criminal for even hearing the case. Every other court outside of Hong Kong that hears and judges on this case is also acting outside the law.

WRONG. The Hong Kong RULED in Apple’s favor on JUNE 28, 2011. In Apple’s sales contract with Proview, Hong Kong is listed as specifically the ONLY jurisdiction where court cases regarding the contract can be heard. Hong Kong ruled against Proview. It’s over. Proview’s counter suits against Apple outside of the Hong Kong jurisdiction are irrelevant and illegal as are those courts’ willingness to hear and judge upon those suits.

IOW: It’s WAY over.

You can read the entire Hong Kong court ruling, from last June (!) here:

Here’s the Chinese Court Ruling Backing Apple in iPad Trademark Tiff

Even liberal Germany has figured out that “Green Energy” is an expensive Utopian dream.

Now back to Apple threatening to sue Proview. Unless Apple has Guan Xi (loosely translated-connections) I find it very hard for Apple to win this one.

(My fingers hurt from writing about nasty little Proview. I’ve ranted my last rant on the subject. Elsewhere both I and MDN have provided links to all the relevant documents the point out Proview has already lost and that all their lawsuits outside of Hong Kong are irrelevant and illegal. IOW: Fsck the little buggers).

And let’s be clear: Only the Hong Kong court was designated in Apple’s sales contract with Proview as being able to hear court cases regarding the contract. Hong Kong ruled. Proview lost. All these other so-called ‘legal proceedings’ by Proview are illegal and further in breach of contract.

IOW: There is nothing legal about Proview’s current behavior. There is only one word for Proview: Criminal. The same word applies to all of the court jurisdictions outside Hong Kong hearing Proview’s case: Criminal.
