The concept of cooperation in wireless communication networks has drawn significant attention recently from both academia and industry as it can be effective in addressing the performance limitations of wireless networks due to user mobility and the scarcity of network resources. In this article, we aim to shed some light on potential benefits of such an approach and discuss its challenging issues. We focus on three cooperation scenarios, namely, cooperation to improve channel reliability through spatial diversity, cooperation to improve throughput through resource aggregation, and cooperation to achieve seamless service provision. Challenging issues which arise at different layers of the network protocol stack are discussed, with an emphasis on the medium access control, network, and transport layers. We also present some future research directions in this area. View full abstract»
Cooperative communications for wireless networks: techniques and applications in LTE-advanced systemsPublication Year: 2012
Cited by: Papers (24)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (299 KB) | | HTML
Cooperative communications enable efficient utilization of communication resources, by allowing nodes or terminals in a communication network to collaborate with each other in information transmission. It is a promising technique for future communication systems. In this article, we first survey cooperative communication schemes and discuss their advantages in improving system capacity and diversity. Following that, we examine the applications of cooperative relaying schemes in LTE-advanced systems. Specifically, we investigate two intra-cell coordinated multi-point schemes in LTE-advanced systems, and evaluate the performance of the schemes. It is shown that cooperative relaying leads to both network coverage extension and capacity expansion in LTE-advanced systems. Cooperative communications can significantly improve the system spectrum efficiency and performance. View full abstract»
Secondary users cooperation in cognitive radio networks: balancing sensing accuracy and efficiencyPublication Year: 2012 , Page(s): 30 - 37
Cited by: Papers (10)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (248 KB) | | HTML
Cooperative spectrum sensing is a promising technique in cognitive radio networks by exploiting multi-user diversity to mitigate channel fading. Cooperative sensing is traditionally employed to improve the sensing accuracy while the sensing efficiency has been largely ignored. However, both sensing accuracy and efficiency have very significant impacts on the overall system performance. In this article, we first identify the fundamental trade-off between sensing accuracy and efficiency in spectrum sensing in cognitive radio networks. Then, we present several different cooperation mechanisms, including sequential, full-parallel, semi-parallel, synchronous, and asynchronous cooperative sensing schemes. The proposed cooperation mechanisms and the sensing accuracy-efficiency trade-off in these schemes are elaborated and analyzed with respect to a new performance metric achievable throughput, which simultaneously considers both transmission gain and sensing overhead. Illustrative results indicate that parallel and asynchronous cooperation strategies are able to achieve much higher performance, compared to existing and traditional cooperative spectrum sensing in cognitive radio networks.

Resource allocation for wireless cooperative networks: a unified cooperative bargaining game theoretic frameworkPublication Year: 2012 , Page(s): 38 - 43
Cited by: Papers (1)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (227 KB) | | HTML
Wireless cooperative communications require appropriate spectrum allocation (SA) and power allocation (PA) between the source and relay nodes. In this article, we first present an overview of the game theoretic incentive mechanisms for stimulating cooperation among selfish user nodes. Thereafter, the related issues on user payoff function design and the corresponding SA and PA strategies are discussed. To distribute the collective capacity gains among the cooperative nodes efficiently, we analyze and then formulate multiple resource allocation problems including SA, PA, and simultaneous multiresource allocation (SMRA) problems into the unified cooperative bargaining game, and the Nash bargaining solution method is utilized to solve these problems. Moreover, we propose to decompose the SMRA game into multiple single-resource allocation games and then resolve them sequentially. Finally, various game results are compared with a view to highlight that the decomposed SMRA game could obtain a good trade-off between computational complexity and system efficiency.

Game theory in cooperative communicationsPublication Year: 2012 , Page(s): 44 - 49
Cited by: Papers (1)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (205 KB) | | HTML
Cooperative communication has great potential to improve the wireless channel capacity by exploiting the antennas on wireless devices for spatial diversity. However, applications of cooperative communication are barely seen in reality. A main obstacle blocking its wide application is the lack of incentives for wireless nodes to participate in cooperative communication. We first survey the existing game theoretic solutions for providing cooperation incentives in cooperative communications. We then discuss the challenges in applying game theory to cooperative communications. View full abstract»

Cooperative relaying in Wi-Fi networks with network codingPublication Year: 2012 , Page(s): 57 - 65
Cited by: Papers (2)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (232 KB) | | HTML
Recently, network coding has emerged as a new cooperative technique for improving network throughputs over traditional routing techniques. Network coding allows intermediate nodes to combine packets using an algebraic function before forwarding. Selfless cooperation by the intermediate nodes is thus implicitly assumed in the network employing network coding. Such cooperation in principle should not happen for free but for mutual benefits shared by source-destination pairs and the cooperating intermediate nodes. Effective resource allocation techniques are thus required to efficiently utilize the limited network resources at the intermediate nodes. In this article, we propose one such effective buffer allocation algorithm, called buffer equalized opportunistic network coding (BE-ONC), to dynamically exploit buffer spaces at a relay node of a relay-based IEEE 802.11 network. The BE-ONC technique combines packets opportunistically based on dynamic buffer allocation at the relay. Through simulations, we illustrate that the proposed scheme improves over the classical packet scheduling schemes in terms of delay and successful packet delivery ratio in a cooperative relay-based Wi-Fi network. Our experimental results further confirm the potential benefits of BE-ONC in terms of packet delivery ratio, when compared with first-in first-out scheduling at the relay node. The guidelines for extending our proposed scheme to a more general scenario, where more than two users are involved, and the relay is allowed to transmit its own packet, are also provided.

A theoretical framework for optimal cooperative networking in multiradio multichannel wireless networksPublication Year: 2012 , Page(s): 66 - 73
Cited by: Papers (4)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (255 KB) | | HTML
A wide range of next generation wireless networks are based on the multiradio multichannel (MR-MC) network model. A full exploration of the MR-MC wireless network capacity incurs challenging cooperative networking issues including transmission cooperation, resource allocation cooperation, and cross-layer protocol cooperation. In this article, rather than focus on protocol designs for specific cooperative networking issues, we present a generic theoretical framework that could guide the protocol or algorithm development to approach the maximum network capacity. Based on our multidimensional conflict graph (MDCG) tool, we could achieve a cross-layer linear programming framework to study the optimal cooperative networking in two complementary aspects: optimal network dimensioning and throughput-optimal control. While certain NP-hard computing issues hindered the MR-MC network optimization for a long time, the MDCG-based framework can readily generate simple polynomial and distributed algorithms with guaranteed capacity region.

Topology control in mobile Ad Hoc networks with cooperative communicationsPublication Year: 2012 , Page(s): 74 - 79
Cited by: Papers (14)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (216 KB) | | HTML
Cooperative communication has received tremendous interest for wireless networks. Most existing works on cooperative communications are focused on link-level physical layer issues. Consequently, the impacts of cooperative communications on network-level upper layer issues, such as topology control, routing and network capacity, are largely ignored. In this article, we propose a Capacity-Optimized Cooperative (COCO) topology control scheme to improve the network capacity in MANETs by jointly considering both upper layer network capacity and physical layer cooperative communications. Through simulations, we show that physical layer cooperative communications have significant impacts on the network capacity, and the proposed topology control scheme can substantially improve the network capacity in MANETs with cooperative communications.

Video summary delivery over cooperative wireless networksPublication Year: 2012 , Page(s): 80 - 87
Cited by: Papers (2)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (833 KB) | | HTML
This article addresses cooperative video summary delivery over wireless networks which inherits advantages from both cooperative communication and video summarization. In this work, a novel decode-process-and-forward (DPF) scheme is proposed for video summary transmission, where a relay node with video processing capability is involved to generate a concise version of the summary frame, called summary of summary (SoS). The SoS information is effectively consumed by the destination side to enhance its error concealment capability, leading to an improved video reconstruction quality. This article proposes a generic crosslayer optimization framework for cooperative video summary transmission, which jointly considers the source coding, relay processing parameters, power allocation, and error concealment strategy to achieve the best video quality. The problem is solved by using Lagrangian relaxation and dynamic programming. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme significantly outperforms existing cooperative and non-cooperative transmission schemes. View full abstract»
Mobility management of unicast services for wireless access in vehicular environmentsPublication Year: 2012 , Page(s): 88 - 95
Cited by: Papers (2)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1223 KB) | | HTML
Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments (WAVE) provides seamless and interoperable services for vehicles. In WAVE, the WAVE Short Message Protocol (WSMP) provides broadcast services but does not define unicast/multicast services that require mobility management to track the locations of the vehicles. To resolve this issue, this article proposes a location estimation-based mobility management mechanism by utilizing positioning systems (e.g., GPS) for a WAVE system deployed in highway environment with a large volume of high-speed vehicles. Performance study indicates that under the same paging cost, our approach can reduce 40-90 percent of the network traffic as compared with the traditional cellular mobility management approach.

"If you're looking for glitzy nightlife, accessible restaurants, shopping galore then this place is NOT for you. But if a quiet, nature-filled, laid back setting with awesome hosts appeals, then this location will become your favorite! Though a 20 mi. drive from downtown Tucson this charming, western motif, well appointed, immaculate 3-bedroom home will be your escape after a busy day sightseeing. A fenced yard with outdoor seating to enjoy a BBQ while watching an awesome sunset or viewing wildlife from the confines of this charming casita will make you pinch yourself. There are not enough superlatives to describe this great vacation home as well as the warm welcome and helpfulness from its owners - complete with fresh muffins upon arrival!"Guest: Martha R.

"My husband and I and another friend thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Kathleen's comfortable guest house. The weather was uncharacteristically chilly but we were warm and cozy inside. Great beds, interesting artwork and architectural details. Everything was very clean and since we'd been on the road a couple of weeks it was nice to have a washer. The house is only used as a rental, not as a primary residence, so it has the open feeling of a hotel, with the added bonus of being able to make coffee in the mornings, do some light cooking and assemble picnics for hikes. With two nice bedrooms, it's really big enough for 3-4 adults to stay very comfortably. Great value for the price!"Guest: LT Date of Stay: December 2014 Review Submitted: January 14, 2015View listing
"Just completed our wonderful stay at this great Tucson Vacation home. House is in a great community in the Star Pass Resort area, close to awesome golf courses, awesome views of the Tucson desert and just far enough out of downtown Tucson to fell like a vacation home, but still within 10 mins of great restaurants, grocery stores, etc. The house was fully equipped with everything we needed for our stay,kitchen was nicely stocked with everything we needed to make meals, propane grill on back patio to cook on was great. Nice furnishings- granite countertops, updated appliances, dinning table, great living room furniture, master bedroom/bathroom were great. The patio and upstairs balcony were great for outside dinning and provided a great area to view the desert. The house comes with a pass to a private pool and gym which were within 5 mins of house. Our group included four adults who stayed here for a conference near downtown Tucson, house provided ample room and drive to conference was 15 mins or less. Owner was great!!, easy to contact and made booking property easy. We were extremely satisfied with our stay and would highly recommend this vacation home for anyone looking to visit Tucson!"Guest: Amy Date of Stay: September 2014 Review Submitted: September 20, 2014View listing
"We stayed for a week in this little house in Tucson. And enjoyed it very much! Everything you could have asked for was there, including a good bed (which is important). The hosts are very friendly and responded quickly when needed. It was clean and situated in a quiet neighbourhood, yet close to shops and restaurants, that are even in walking distance. It is a very good place to start your exploration of the Tucson area. Recommended!"Guest: Hans D. Date of Stay: December 2014 Review Submitted: January 7, 2015View listing

World leaders are in the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro for a major environmental summit. They will be discussing ways to create a sustainable blueprint for eradicating poverty and protecting the environment.
The summit commerates the 20th anniversary of the original earth summit, also held in Rio.
At that time, in 1992, the Brazilian government said it would create a reserve for poor families who could cultivate the land in a sustainable manner, without cutting down the forest.
Twenty years later, this sustainable development reserve still only exists on paper.

The tensions between equality and liberty, as well as those between liberty and authority, counted as the markers of a democratic civil society, but the science of politics lay in isolating those institutions that gave it practical life. This was the project to which Tocqueville devoted his observing eye and intellectual energies. What made Americans behave as a people sharing common interests paradoxically had almost every-thing to do with their sense of themselves as sovereign individuals. Thus, one of the features of American civil society that Tocqueville explored was its deep roots in the tradition of communal and mutual helpfulness, and the sharing in tasks through the voluntary associations that he said were stronger in America than even in England. How this was achieved was one of the mysteries that Tocqueville tried to penetrate. There were the political associations, also founded in English political traditions, that sought to enlist partisan support for political programs. The relationship between politics and the power of public opinion was an integral part of American democracy as well. Finally, the role that religion played in securing the fabric of civil society had properly to be defined. Taken together, these elements revealed much, he claimed, about the American experiment. We will look at each of them.
Some Contrasting Conceptions of Civil Society
We might begin first with another, a rather distant, vision of a civil society, a pre-modern democratic one, for it sharpens the outlines of Tocqueville's modern one.

Rachel Goodrich Drops Self-Titled Sophomore Album February 2011
It's confirmed: Rachel Goodrich's follow-up to her 2008 debut, Tinker Toys, will be released February 21. The Greg Wells-produced album, features 10 new tracks along with "Light Bulb." (It's unclear whether it's a reworked or remastered version different from the one that appeared on her debut.)
Unfortunately, it seems Rachel Goodrich won't be Goodrich's major label -- or even major indie label -- debut. The album will be released on her own imprint, Yellow Bear Records. But we bet there is a major standing readily on the sidelines, waiting to see how the album performs.
If you can't wait until next year to listen to her new material, Goodrich's MySpace has full-length streams of "Morning Light," "Easier Said Than Done," and, our favorite, "Na Na Na," which is borderline folky hip-hop. From what we've heard so far, it seems Wells' clean and simple production skills suit her very well.
Track Listing
1. Morning Light
2. Na Na Na
3. Fire
4. Easier Said Than Done
5. Let Me Go
6. Hold On
7. Walk Away
8. G-Dino
9. Light Bulb
10. I Fell In Love
11. Popsicles

Divorce insurance
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (May 2015)
Divorce insurance is a form of contractual liability insurance that pays the insured a cash benefit if their marriage ends in divorce. The purpose of divorce insurance is to mitigate the risk of incurring significant financial loss as a result of a divorce proceeding. As divorce rates have increased around the world, divorce has become a major contributing factor to bankruptcy and poverty globally which in turn created the demand for such a product. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]
How policies work[edit]
Divorce insurance is a form of casualty insurance; specifically, contractual liability insurance. As such, divorce insurance reimburses the owner after a marriage (the contract in this case) is dissolved by way of divorce or marriage dissolution upon finalization of which, the policy owner submits a claim to the insurance company.
Divorce insurance policies are sold in 'units' of 'initial claim value' or the amount which would be paid on the first day that a benefit is available. Each unit has a fixed price and the number of units purchased relates directly to how much the insured/beneficiary receives when a claim is paid. In addition, the initial claim value increases by a set amount every year after the elimination period ends so that the longer the insured stays in the program, the more money they receive should they divorce. The result is that over time, a small unchanging monthly payment could result in a substantial benefit payment.
To protect against adverse selection, Divorce Insurance policies have a lengthy 'elimination period' or a waiting period before a claim can be filed. Currently the waiting period for the standard plan offered by the company that provides Divorce Insurance is 48 months.

Iron BirdsIron birds create the clouds,that cut the sky in two,and at once they shrink the world,killing the concepts of me and you.
Poem 1How can people feel depressed,when everything seems fine?Even when there's nothing wrong,in their mind they soldier on,fighting back an invisible je ne sais qua.Maybe we all are missing something,but we never wonder what?We just sit and live with that hole inside,while our mood, from contentment, slides,Drifting down to a sorry statewhere a smile is just a lieand a frown betrays the truth inside.
The Skeletons And IWe spent the night in the graveyard,The skeletons and I,They slumber six feet under,While I sit nearby and ponder,On how they cannot walk, or talk,Or smile, or dance,Or hate,Or judge,Or scorn,Or kill...Some say true depression,Is to be envious of the dead,Then why do I feel such sadness,Yet not wish this fate upon myself?To me is seems those who choose,To hate, or judge, or scorn, or kill,Should be lying in the graveyard,With the skeletons and I.
Human ExistenceStart with Physical,And End With Emotional,Life, Death. Pain Connects.
Self Portrait, in HaikuA Jack of all Trades,But as this poem may show,Master of None, yet.
The Problem Of EvilHe was a well-dressed man. He had no need for an appointment. With a smile and a nod he walked straight past the front desk of Amplitude Records and into the lift, muzak filling the air as he ascended. He had always liked muzak, he found it enjoyably infuriating. In his hand he held a greasy burger, which he finished off as he left the lift, but despite his eating habits he carried hardly any fat on his lean frame. He walked confidently into the CEOs office, and before the head of the record company knew what was happening the two were already shaking hands. Please allow me to introduce myself, said the well-dressed man, Im a man of wealth and taste. A smile came to the face of the CEO, Ah he said, A Rolling Stones fan I see. Very funny The CEO hesitated, fiddling with a pen on the desk, but who the devil are you? The well-dressed man smiled. Call me Lou***He was less well dressed. It wasnt that

Silvestre Manuel Gonçalves Varela (born 2 February 1985 in Almada) is a Portuguese footballer who plays for F.C. Porto in the Portuguese first division, as a winger.
A product of Sporting Clube de Portugal's youth system, Varela was loaned to Casa Pia A.C. and Vitória Futebol Clube in his early years as a professional. Despite being a regular with the Portuguese under-21s and having enjoyed a decent form in various tournaments, he was not able to secure a place in Sporting's first team, only managing two substitute appearances in the 2005–06 season.
In 2007–08 Varela, alongside two former Sporting players, Beto and Carlos Martins, played for Recreativo de Huelva in Spain (Varela on loan again). After a disappointing season despite having received playing time in La Liga, he returned to Sporting in July 2008, only to be immediately sold to C.F. Estrela da Amadora.
Before the season was over, in March 2009, courtesy of his solid performances at Estrela, only relegated from the top division off the field, Varela signed a four-year agreement with champions F.C. Porto, on a free transfer, starting in July.

The Naked Archaeologist TV Show Watchlist
A look at popular biblical stories and cultures from an archaeological perspective.
Rating: None
Latest Full EpisodesSee all »
The Bible instructs men to wear fringes on the corners of their garments as a constant reminder of God. Can we trace these holy threads back to ancient times and learn more about their significance? One of the threads of these fringes is supposed to be a particular colour blue - made from the blood of a shellfish.
A talking donkey, an angel of the lord, and a curse against the Children of Israel. These are just a few of the clues that the Naked Archaeologist investigates as he uncovers archaeology about Balaam, the pagan prophet who tried to stop the Jews from entering the Holy Land.
Can ancient rags and roots and herbs lead us to the famous coat of many colours that the Bible tells us Joseph wore? Well, pretty close...The Naked Archaeologist takes a CSI look at remnants of ancient material, brews up some dyes made of roots and plants, and gives viewers a pretty accurate look at the coat that made Joseph's brothers so jealous.
There's a curious sentence in Judges 5:17, "and Dan remained in ships." In this episode of the Naked Archaeologist we try to determine whether some of the Dan took to the sea and became part of a Mediterranean confederation of Sea Peoples.

2 dead in Los Angeles police standoff
A gunman killed a man, fired at police, and holed himself up in a home before killing himself
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — A gunman killed a man, opened fire on police and holed himself up in a Watts home with three children inside before shooting himself, police said Friday.
A woman believed to be his wife was wounded and taken to a hospital in grave condition, Deputy Chief Robert Green told KABC-TV.
The standoff began at about 3 a.m. Friday as a domestic dispute.
The gunman fatally wounded a man in a truck outside the house who later died and also shot at arriving police but didn't hit them, Green said. He retreated to a home and continued firing at officers, Green said.
After about a two-hour standoff, two children, believed to be 8 and 3 years old, came out of the house.
They told officers that "mom and dad" were dead in the home, Green said.
When SWAT officers entered, they found the man dead of an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound. A woman believed to be his wife was thought at first to have died but Green later said she was taken to a hospital in grave condition. A 1-year-old child was also in the home.
Police took away all three children.
"They'll be in our custody until we identify relatives," Green said.
No officers were hurt.
The names of the victims were not immediately released.

The boxing world may be thinking about a third fight with Manny Pacquiao, but Juan Manuel Marquez says he wants Floyd Mayweather.
Click here to sign up to Setanta by Broadband where you can watch this incredible contest anytime.
Marquez ended a pulsating lightweight contest with a sickening uppercut to stop 'Baby Bull' Juan Diaz and capture the WBA/WBO lightweight titles on Saturday night.
This victory seems likely to add for calls to him to complete a trilogy against Pacman, who he has previously drawn with and controversially lost on points against.
Marquez does not believe Pacquiao will face him again so instead had in mind calling for a return to the ring for previous pound-for-pound king Mayweather.
"I would like to meet Mayweather to see who is the best pound-for-pound," Marquez said on Setanta Sports.
"Pacquiao is the other best pound-for-pound but he doesnt want to fight me, so I want to fight Mayweather."
Marquez believed his defensive movement was key to him winning the fight, enabling him to turn the fight in his favourite as the fight moved into its second half.
"I came to box with head movement and body movement and I was able to beat him," Marquez added.
"We felt it was pretty even in the first three rounds. I thought with my body and head movement I was pulling it off.
"In the fourth and fifth round I saw my punches were making him weak. Thankfully I pulled it off."
Diaz felt a bad cut which was opened over right eye in the eighth round contributed to his defeat.
"I got caught with a good punch and blood was in my eye," Diaz said. "I couldnt do anything about it. I couldn't see anything he was doing.
"I kept fighting my heart out, I kept pushing forward and then he caught me with a good punch.
"My aggressive instincts took over, I thought if I show him I'm hurt he'll jump on it, so I thought to hell with it either I'll get him or he'll get me."

Apple's Ive describes struggle for perfection in interview, calls copycat designs 'theft'In an interview published on Sunday, Apple SVP of Design Jony Ive lifted a corner to Apple's veil of secrecy, offering a peek into his process of "making" and how an Apple product stands apart from other designs.
Apple design chief Jony Ive discusses a special curated (RED) auction in 2013. | Source: Sotheby's
Sitting down for a rare in-depth interview (subscription required) as part of UK publication The Sunday Times' "Makers" series, Ive speaks candidly about working at Apple, the state of design and his thoughts on rival products.
While the article touches on a multitude of subjects, from Ive's early days as a fledgling designer to his relationship to late cofounder Steve Jobs, the through line is Apple. After entering the company in 1992, Ive now leads a team of "about 15" designers from Britain, America, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. Most members of the small cadre have worked together for 15 to 20 years, Ive says.
As for workflow, Ive starts each project by working out a product's function before applying form. He takes this theory of industrial design to the next level, sometimes poring over details for months. Ive says this quest for perfection is "an affliction designers are cursed with."
Ive does not consider any single device design to be his best work, but instead points to an idea that customers still value high-quality craftsmanship. That Apple has seen such huge success with its devices, which are by no means cheap, proves that many consumers still put value in quality over savings.
"We're surrounded by anonymous, poorly made objects," Ive said. "It's tempting to think it's because the people who use them don't care — just like the people who make them. But what we've shown is that people do care."
He goes on to explain that consumers who buy Apple products don't simply like an iPhone or Mac because it looks pretty, but because "they care about things that are thoughtfully conceived and well made."
"We make and sell a very, very large number of (hopefully) beautiful, well-made things. Our success is a victory for purity, integrity — for giving a damn." - Apple SVP of Design Jony Ive
"We make and sell a very, very large number of (hopefully) beautiful, well-made things," Ive said. "Our success is a victory for purity, integrity — for giving a damn."
The designer also talks about the difficulties of making a tech product "intimate," a subject Ive has touched on before in product launches like the iPhone 5s.
"The product you have in your hand, or put into your ear, or have in your pocket, is more personal than the product you have on your desk," Ive explains. "The struggle to make something as difficult and demanding as technology so intimately personal is what first attracted me to Apple. People have an incredibly personal relationship with what we make."
On that note, reporter John Arlidge asks Ive about the much-rumored "iWatch," a product that would by most definitions be intimate in design. The designer expectedly avoids answering, likening the usual cat-and-mouse questioning on future products to a game of chess.
When asked about his thoughts on rival companies that reference designs like that of the iPhone, Ive says, "It's theft." Without pointing fingers, he notes that copycat products are not just copying design, but "thousands and thousands of hours of struggle."
Ive and his design group have churned out a number of now-iconic Apple designs, including the iMac G3, the original iPod and iPhone.
The best years may be ahead, however, as Ive says, "We are at the beginning of a remarkable time, when a remarkable number of products will be developed. When you think about technology and what it has enabled us to do so far, and what it will enable us to do in [the] future, we're not even close to any kind of limit. It's still so, so new."

'Best date ever.'
The straight high school student who became a small internet sensation when he asked his friend to prom has treated the internet to a picture of the night.
Jacob Lescenski posted a picture of him and his gay best friend, Anthony Martinez, Instagram last night, captioned: 'Prom 2k15 and I was glad to spend it with an awesome friend'.
Dressed in sleek suits and styled by TeenVogue's Christie Moeller, the pair seem to be minutes from setting off to their prom.
Michael Martin and Logan Westrope slow danced to Sam Smith's Stay With Me during charmed evening
They were just like any other couple at last weekend's Mussleman High School senior prom - except they weren't.
Michael Martin, a Mussleman senior, and his boyfriend Logan Westrope, were the only same-sex couple at the event held at The Heritage Hall in Inwood, West Virginia.
'We knew this would be a night to remember,' Westrope, who attends a different school, tells Outsports.
'We were both a little hesitant to hold hands, not knowing how the rest of the student body would react'
Look at these photos of two gay athletes who attended prom together and try not to smile.
Michael Martin went to his senior prom at The Mussleman High School in West Virginia with Logan Westrope, an athlete from a nearby school.
Martin, an all-state soccer player, came out last fall by slow-dancing with his then-boyfriend at homecoming.
He asked his new boyfriend of four months to prom in March in the parking lot of Chik-fil-A, where Logan works.
'He's my best friend, and a real man'
A photo of a straight high school student asking his gay best friend to prom has gone viral after it was posted on social media.
Anthony Martinez of Las Vegas lamented on Twitter that he was on the prom committee did not have a date to the the dance.
So his best friend Jacob Lescenski decided to do something about it.
At lunch break on Monday (21 April) while Martinez was selling prom tickets, he unfurled a giant banner that read: 'You're hella gay, I'm hella str8, but you're like my brother so be my d8!'
Claudetteia Love's principal had said: 'Girls wear dresses and boys wear tuxes, and that's the way it is'
Claudetteia Love will be wearing a tuxedo to her high school prom after all.
The honor student at Carroll High School in Monroe, Louisiana, had been told she would be violating the school's dress code if she turned up in a tux at the dance on 24 April.
But after The National Center for Lesbian Rights got involved, the teen's story went public and school officials have backed down.
Claudetteia Love and her family are standing up to her school's position that 'girls wear dresses and that's just the way it is'
An openly gay student is protesting against her school's dress code rules by boycotting her prom.
Claudetteia Love, an honor student at Carroll High School in Monroe, Louisiana, planned to celebrate the end of her senior year with her classmates, but was told she would be violating the school's dress code if she turned up in a tux.
'The principal said that girls wear dresses and that is just the way it is,' she said, speaking to GSN.
'I normally wear pants and shorts to school and it has never been a problem.'

Tuc Watkins, who played gay on Desperate Housewives, believes Modern Family couple is 80s stereotype
Openly gay actor Tuc Watkins has gotten Jesse Tyler Ferguson's attention with his Facebook post ripping on Modern Family's Cam and Mitch.
Watkins wrote that while he finds the ABC show 'clever, hilarious, even terrifically subtle,' he also has 'a hard time laughing at the gay guys. In fact, I kinda cringe. It feels a little bit like the gay equivalent of "blackface."'
He added: 'It doesn't feel "modern" at all. Sure, people come in all shapes, sizes, etc. So why are we fed such 80s stereotypes every week?'
In open letter to Jesse Tyler Ferguson, actor expands in his views: 'I see your point. I hope you'll consider mine'
Former Desperate Housewives cast member Tuc Watkins has apologized for using the term 'blackface' to describe the Cam and Mitchell characters on Modern Family.
Watkins had been critical of the fictional gay couple in a Facebook post stating: 'It feels a little bit like the gay equivalent of "blackface." It doesn't feel "modern" at all.'

George Takei will be having Thanksgiving dinner tonight with husband Brad Takei and another couple at Tavern on the Green in New York City.

As I prepare for the Thanksgiving holiday, I am reminded of the autumnal harvest time's spiritual significance. As a time of connectedness, I pause to acknowledge what I have to be thankful for. But I also reflect on the holiday as a time of remembrance – historical and familial.
Holy homosexuality!
After 75 years of caped crusading, you would have thought someone would have asked Batman about his close-knit relationship with Robin.
But finally, in a new comics series, he answers the question that has been on everyone's lips for three quarters of a century.
Multiversity: The Just #1, by Grant Morrison and Ben Oliver, was released on 22 October.
It features the offspring of the world's most famous DC Comics superheroes (Chris Kent, for example, the foster son of Clark Kent, Superman).
Singapore's Media Development Board has allowed Astonishing X-Men Issue 51 to be sold in the country because not all of the characters in the comic agreed with the marriage of superhero Northstar and Kyle Jinadu
Just weeks after an Archie comic book was banned by Singapore's media censors for depicting a same-sex marriage, the country's Media Development Board has allowed an X-Men comic to be sold which depicts the same thing.
The Media Development Board found that Astonishing X-Men Issue 51, published in 2012, dealt with the issue evenly as some characters in the comic approved of the wedding of superhero Northstar and Kyle Jinadu while others were opposed and thus it treated the issue in a 'fair and balanced' way.
New show will star Glee actor Grant Gustin as the superfast superhero in the spin-off of Arrow
New CW superhero show The Flash will feature two gay characters in its first season.
The spin-off of Arrow, which will star former Glee star Grant Gustin as the superfast superhero, is expected to have plenty to keep LGBT audiences interested.
Greg Berlanti, the gay writer who is producing The Flash along with Andrew Krisberg, revealed DC Comics character David Singh will be a part of the series.
In the comics, Singh is the supervisor of The Flash's alter ego Barry Allen in the Central City crime lab.
Danbury High student Nasir Fleming was cheered by his fellow students when he took out the title as Prom Queen at his school dance on Friday night – becoming the first ever male at the school to take the title
Things went wild in a good way when openly gay Danbury, Connecticut teen Nasir Fleming was named Prom Queen on Friday night – becoming the first male Prom Queen in the school's history.
Nasir, who had also been nominated for Prom King, was cheered and applauded by his fellow students from Danbury High School as he accepted the tiara at the school's dance at the Matrix Center on Friday night.
Nasir said he wanted to be Prom Queen to support transgender equality even though he is not transgender himself.
Holy smokes! Batman, one of the campest and homoerotic characters from superhero history, is 75 years old
Holy homosexuality! Batman is 75 years old.
And with the anniversary, what better way than to point out the reasons why many consider the character to be the gayest straight superhero in existence?
The 'gay' interpretation goes all the way back to 1954, when a psychiatrist claimed that the comic books were 'homosexual fantasies'.
The 1995 feature film Batman Forever, and especially its 1997 sequel Batman & Robin, both helmed by openly gay director Joel Schumacher, attracted attention for the homoerotic innuendos.
GSN was at the first ever Lesbian Prom held in Scala, Kings Cross, and with Charli XCX performing, it did not disappoint
Life for a lesbian in London can be hard, but it just got a lot better with the first ever Lesbian Prom.
Held at Scala in Kings Cross for the first time, gay girls were promised four rooms of madness with Charli XCX headlining, Red n Pink and DJ's Izzy Trixx and Sandra D performing in the main room.
The lineup doesn't stop there. MissFit managed to get lead singer of electronic band CHVRCHES Lauren Maybury to perform in the 'attic' room along with many other DJs and even a few drag kings!
