This easily accessed location data on your phone was already widely known and used by police agencies since last year according to several articles, so you can just imagine what it is like for someone in a police state to have all their locations for the past year easily accessed when they are arrested.
1. There are reports that police in Michigan grab data from people's mobile phones - however, so far not a single victim of such illegal data grabbing has been found.
2. In a police state, it doesn't matter what information is on your phone. It doesn't matter where you have been, what matters is where they want you to have been. If they decide that you met person X at time Y at place Z to discuss overthrowing the government, it doesn't make any difference whether you have no iPhone, or an iPhone that shows you were there, or an iPhone that shows you were not there.

Lotus Notes is a great program when it's implemented correctly. We've been using it over 10 years now and there's still nothing out there that can touch it.
Improved support on the Apple is a good thing. They are even improving the client on Linux as well. That will really give people the potential to move away from windows.

Why does this remind me of the great submarine sandwich scene in the movie "Coneheads" where Chris Farley says "My mom's the only person I ever knew that could take a sandwich like that! (http://www.moviequotes.com/fullquote.cgi?qnum=40437)" ?

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???
Now I'm not a lawyer, but I do know that there's only one GMT. Cities don't get their own GMT. That's kinda the point of the G in GMT. If Samsung think that Apple is storing the "GMT of each city", and the "GMT of the location of the device" then they're in for some disappointment.
On the other hand if they've patented a method for botching your alarms every time the clocks go back/forward they may be onto something.

What's in it for me? Seriously, the owner of Macrumors makes $100K plus off this site (so much that he quit his job AS A DOCTOR.) Why should I give blood just to glorify the name of his website & make him richer?
What's in it for me?
Soooo.... He should shut down this site and go back to being a doctor? Would THAT make you comfortable to donate blood? Does quitting his job make him ineligible to do further public health work?
I'm having difficulty understanding your logic, unless.... You're jealous of him. That fits perfectly.

the guy deserves to lose the money for being stupid.
That's like saying if someone crosses the street without looking both ways, they deserve to get hit by a car. It's just this kind of Neanderthal "logic" that scumbags like the seller employ to brainwash themselves into thinking they're anything more than pure scum.

The only drives that really go above 15 watts are the 10,000+ rpm like the raptor but even then it's maybe 22 watts. The WD black I boot from is about 14 watts but the green from WD or any low powered drive can be as low as 8-9 watts. The average would be about 12.

This is why carrier competition is important. The T-Mobile deal needs to be struck down by regulators.
Agreed, I'm still surprised by the amount supporters of this 'deal' in an earlier thread on this board. The only winners are Deutsche Telekom (as they get to dump a barely profitable enterprise) & ATT.

LOL it amazes me how little you guys know about the law. Please report me to the authorities, there is absolutely nothing they can. I even discussed it with my professor who monitored my bar and he got a kick out of it as well haha.
So please, humor me that I'm not a real law student and don't know what I'm talking about. Sorry Apple geeks your area of expertise obviously isn't the political discourse of America. :P
Try my other theories too, like entering my home, etc. Seriously, just humor me. (more so than I already am) LOL

If Apple thought they'd be able to come in and over throw the Android strong hold on Verizon someone needs to go back and do some more market analysis. With such a wide variety of Android phones for Verizon, how did Apple expect they were going to be able to sell such large numbers and with an older to boot. Somone(s) got a little over zealous with their estimates and I bet they're hearing about it now.
