I don’t know about you guys but honestly that was a bit more exciting then a normal launch. We have come a long way in space flight safety systems to be able to basically begin ignition sequence of such a large rocket then kill it .5 second before release and lift-off. In the space shuttle if they got that far into the launch sequence (tenths of a second before launch) they would have already committed to the launch (partially due to the design of the solid booster rockets).
Good to see Space X wasnt kidding about some of its improvements in rocket design and safety systems in the last 30+ years its bringing to the table.

OK everyone, time to get this patent M.A.D. on Apple got down and dirty.
HP/Palm, sue Apple for infringement of your designs on swipe and some notification gestures.
Google, sue Apple for stealing half of your features of Android when they released 5.0.
HTC, sue Apple using all of the smartphone patents you have amassed in damn near a decade of making smartphones.
Motorola, sue Apple for building a cellphone… do any of your 8000X patents still work. :p
Microsoft sue Apple, I know you are making boatloads off of mac sales (the ROI numbers for the mac unit are higher then the windows & “regular” office units). You invented the cellphone image push garbage Apple is now selling in iCloud.
Rambus… I heard Apple talking to the popular kids behind the Gym. Apple said you were a looser and the popular girl will never fight with you.

wow, this isn’t even comcast’s own argument for why they can do it. Now they are arguing that the 360 is just like the crapy motorola box in my mom’s home? Where do I plug the coax into? :p

The Verge does understand there is nothing new in this article. We already knew comcast was using the DOCSIS cable modems and the QAM channels bonded with that modem for internat access (2.0 has one up one down, while DOCSIS 3 can bond multiple QAM channels together for added bandwidth). Comcast is just arguing that those chanels still dont count as the internet or public network since its flowing over their copper and (before the last mile) fiber channels.

He seems to be bending over for Oracle even though their side is bitching (sorry about the language but its true) about how the judge is unfair. The court just reversed an accepted finding by the Jury thats in your advantage, claim victory. Courts normally accept the findings of Juries unless there is something flawed in their instructions, which in this case there wasn’t.

They dont have an operating financial loss for FY’11. They have just been forced to prepay for several decades of benefits in a few short years. if ANY company in the USA was forced to go through this artificial stress test they all would fail… except Apple and the Oil industry. :p

The only reason I dont switch back to T-mobile is how hard it is to get a good phone that works with its network. Most AAA phones dont get released for the AWS bands or if they do its using a different processor and not the international version thats easy to drag all over the world. I may not travel much, but I like the idea of being able to get an unlocked imported phone and avoid all the US carrier crap.

As someone who has a Galaxy S II may I just say I will be buying this phone and installing Cyanogen Mod 9 on it in record time. WTF Samsung, you cant make software and you cant communicate with the outside world. Focus on your core competencies and deliver awsome hardware.
I miss Digital Humanism. x.x

Honestly this isn’t as important as it used to be. The days of games launching on max or minimum settings is long gone. Modern games tend to do a good job detecting and configuring themselves to the configurations available as long as its not to exotic or out of date. I see this more as a plus for getting that last extra few FPS or pre-configured DX11 option enabled that the launch coders are too afraid to take care of automatically.
