| zequence | All the Americans are at home with their stomachs full and a nasty hangover ;) | 11:05 |
| smartboyhw | zequence, you mean me or this channel or you?:P | 11:05 |
| smartboyhw | zequence, ah yep | 11:05 |
| ttoine | hi | 13:11 |
| ttoine | my next laptop : http://shop.donkey-products.com/en/products/i-wood-my-first-laptop | 13:11 |
| smartboyhw | ttoine, oh!!!!!!!! LOL | 13:12 |
| ttoine | ;-) | 13:12 |
| ttoine | no bug, always run, no battery problem... chalk is the only problem to check | 13:13 |
| zequence | ttoine: I think you have found the solution to all hardware problems | 13:13 |
| zequence | Right. Fantastic product. Always boots, and does exactly what you imagine it would | 13:14 |
| ttoine | zequence, but they have to take care, it is rectangular with round corners. Apple's lawers may forbid thus | 13:15 |
| ttoine | this | 13:15 |
| smartboyhw | ttoine, more LOL | 13:20 |
| * smartboyhw just wonders how much an Apple lawyer is paid..Probably 1 million US Dollars per month... | 13:20 | |
| astraljava | Didn't UK judges overrule that? And even make Apple apologize from Samsung? Or was it some other case? | 13:21 |
| smartboyhw | astraljava, hmm depends on where.... | 13:21 |
| * smartboyhw thought that Apple employed 250 lawyers, with 1 at least designated to a country fighting against Samsung | 13:22 | |
| astraljava | smartboyhw: What do you mean where? I'm expecting UK judges only having jurisdiction inside Great Britain borders. | 13:36 |
| === holstein_ is now known as holstein | ||
| ttoine | astraljava, the judgement in UK is not the same in every country. In Korea, it is quite the same but not surprising, Samsung is a Korean company. But in the USA, in Germany, in Australia, etc... the judgement was for Apple. And Apple own a patent for rectangular with round corner device | 22:31 |

| len-dt | I think we should just quietly close all the patent offices. The idea of patenting has failed at it's purpose, therefore declare all patents void. | 23:34 |
| astraljava | Well, at least for software. I do understand the original idea for it, though. | 23:39 |
| len-dt | In Alberta, Canada, they wanted to stop offering marriage licences because people wanted to be able to marry anyone or just about anything. | 23:40 |
| len-dt | It is sort of the same. The patents had a good idea, but the use has gotten warped to a point it has the opposite effect of that intended. Sometimes it is best to start all over. | 23:42 |
