EDIT: Also, got an email (because I'm on a security unit) from DoJ saying that certain components needed an immediate patch. However, the update describing the patch (and the vulnerability) is itself classified above my level. WTF? "Here, run this patch. No, we can't tell you what it does." Um, how about hell no?
Heh, If I ever get into pentesting I know exactly what I'm gonna do.

all my wat

Even I don't understand it...

No wait I do. This Trademark is there so Apple can file frivilous suits it know it cannot win but will bankrupt its competition.

As well as stopping others from adapting to the market.

This is NOT a trademark that should have been allowed to pass.

Trademarks and patents are both broken, and apple was being frivolous anyway. -_-

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

Yeah, Apple just did this to be able to sue Google for the play store.

Steve Jobs passed away, and with him all my respect for Apple.

It's not the virtual Apple Store. It's the shop. A trademark for the design of your shop.

I'm gonna put a trademark on my toilets.

Yup, it's the trademark for the shop layout.

Quote
The trademark covers the iconic glass "panelled facade, consisting of large, rectangular horizontal panels", of the stores, along with the "rectangular tables arranged in a line in the middle of the store, parallel to the walls".

In fact, the rather detailed trademark even covers the recessed lighting, "cantilevered shelves", wall shelving and an "oblong table with stools located at the back of the store".

The part that the store sells apple products is strangely not a part of the patent.

Probably because they're going to try to sell PCs soon. :P

Never liked apples interface style anyway. Not enough buttons for what you need to be able to do. Feels like a bloody hospital.

On another note, the Goblins web comic is down.

It's something with their hosting. Weregeek is down too, as well as Moose Head Stew.
