One of the patents:
Mobile telephone capable of displaying world time and method for controlling the same
An apparatus and method for calculating and displaying local time for a plurality of cities in the world. The apparatus includes a memory for storing Greenwich mean time (GMT) information for each of the plurality of cities. The apparatus sets a reference time and counts the time that elapses from when the reference time is set. The apparatus calculates a local time of a city selected by a user, which is based on a difference between the GMT of the selected city and the GMT of a present location of the apparatus, the reference time and the counted elapsed time. The reference time may be either a time set by the user or a system time acquired from a signal generated from a remote system.
How can companies get patents for such trivial algorithms???
Just FYI I bolded out the most specific part. You do realize that there are still phones not capable of setting the time remotely? I still use an old Nokia phone that has no automatic time syncing.
Either you really think it's a trivial implementation to acquire a time-signal over the cell network or you just haven't grasped the concept of the patent.
And btw: How can a company hold a patent for a swipe gesture to unlock the screen? How is that more sophisticated.

Rest of the world says hi. This thread is about alleged stats for the US only. Android is caning the iPhone globally.
Any proof, or just randomly spouting opinions?

Thinking about it, was debating MeadowHell but have a feeling that'll probably be the worst one to try. The one on Division Street may be worth a shout tho

White iPhone ... The hot new accessory for females this summer.
most ignorant statement ever.
You might think my comment was stupid, or perhaps ludicrous, but please explain to me what about it was ignorant?

Work for Gimp. And if they do, at what extent. I know it can't replace it guys, but I'm not too big on graphic design and wanted to delve a little in it first.

Hi,
I am using win7 through bootcamp, but i can't use the two fingers-right click on the track pad and also the fn key doesn't work.
Does anyone here have any idea why i can't use them ?
thnx

it cracks me up that people are making a big deal of 64bit. Sure, it'd be nice, but I'd rather have the software be multithreaded worth a rat's ass, and work properly.
Nothing quite brings the same joy to my heart as starting a render in FCP and having a look at Activity Monitor, and seeing a whopping two cores in use. Or having to export a QT file first because I can't send directly to Compressor.
Amen to that. Nothing like working on an 8 core machine and seeing that happen.

It wouldn't be so bad being the only one if you get there at 8am. If you are by yourself from 3am to 8am .....

Is Apple just dropping false info to cause rumors, then hit us with a curveball?
Hmmm. Seems fishy to me.
