So what about microsofts stores that look like apples? The gotta change?
This is funny. Proves apple is a bunch of crybabies.
Apple will trademark it customers soon so we wouldn't be able to buy anything from another company what infants
Much as I think something with this kind of variation should NOT be able to patented, (although I'm sure none of us have seen the actual text of the patent application - remember what is show above is very likely a snippet posted to generate news on a news site???).
Apple do have a signature look with stores that i'd not seen anywhere previously but that I do see now, with remarkable similarity.
Listen al, you cry babies who call Apple cry babies. If you owned a company and others like Shamesung and Microsoft were copying you, what would you do. Clearly Microsoft copied the look and feel, they just don't have the product. And Shamesung has built a company on copying others ideas and look. Try thinking before you whine.
It's getting ridiculous .. soon Apple will be filing for patents on their employees and the food in their cafeteria .. The patent system needs an extreme overhaul!
There have ALWAYS been copycats in the industry.. it actually does spur innovation because it pushes them to continue to strive to be different and it lets those that ARE different shine... Patents can also be just completely stupid such as patenting rounded edges or a finger gesture... Imagine 100 years of this when there's hardly anything left to patent? You'll have to buy a license to stand a certain way.
Wasn't it Android that had a notifications bar before Apple did? So again who did the copying?
Wasn't it someone else that did just about everything the iphone does now BEFORE the iPhone did? So who is the real copycat here?
Who patents everything even if someone else did it first then sues the original real owner? I would believe that would be Apple and thats the only original thing they do.
And with iPhones they are the same, look at the design of the 3G to 3GS then the iPhone 4 isn't changed much instead of rounded edges its now flat but from front on it still looks the same. Then the 4S still nothing then the 5 and oh its a tiny bit longer....
Now go have a look at Samsung's Galaxy S1,2,3 models. They are completely different. Just looking at them you can tell them apart easily.
Apple are the ones that need to change but dont and they complain about other companies making their products similar or "rounded edges" and they are forced to change where Apple stay the same all along.
This is why Galaxy S* devices are the wanted device as they do change. Adding a tiny bit of length isn't a change, its just stretching what you have and hoping nobody notices and call it a big change.
Samsung didn't invent the mobile phone. This point is moot.
Notifications can be achieved in many different ways.
It matters not who invented something first. Law only permits those who own the rights to it unlimited freedom. You have no proof who invented an item or an idea at whatever time, what you can prove is the date of registration.
Although a little odd, this particular case is I'm sure about those stores that look so much like Apples stores that it's blatant copying. Don't be an idiot. It's not about Apple suing because Microsoft acorss the mall from them used, SHOCK!!, real people to sell their goods too, just like Apple.
Pop into ANY Apple store and then Staples or Wall Mart for example. They are markedly different.
God.. you people dont even know what a trademark is. I 100% guarantee any big company or even most restaurants have trademarks. Apple most definitely should, they are renowned for their stores. If people are copying a glass spiral stair case they should not be able to do that! You guys should understand this is NOT a patent, for apple to sue someone they have to be using the combination of apples trademark description. If they have glass doors they cant be sued but if they have glass doors with a genius bar and lines of computers with an open feel, they may be at risk but their is still more they need to be copying for apple to get mad.

GM Tired of Ford's EcoBoost V6 Bragging, Touts More Efficient V8 for Silverado
Brandon Hill

GM bests Ford's EcoBoost V6 fuel efficiency without complex, expensive turbochargers
Ford has spent a great deal of time and money developing and marketing its EcoBoost family. The company makes a wide variety of EcoBoost engines (which is basically a fancy name for turbocharging plus direct injection) ranging from a
1.0-liter three-cylinder
to a
3.5-liter V6
Ford's efforts have paid off, as sales of the naturally aspirated V6- and EcoBoost V6-equipped F-150s have
outpaced those of the V8 models
. And all along the way, Ford has thumbed its nose at the Chevrolet Silverado/GMC Sierra, stating how its EcoBoost V6 gets V8 performance and V6 fuel economy.
GM, however, is hitting back today with the announcement that its new 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 engines manages to produce 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque. While the horsepower number compares favorably with the EcoBoost V6 in the F-150, it's down quite a bit in torque. GM says that in 4x2 trim, the EcoTec3 will be good for 23 mpg highway; checking off the 4x4 option box will result in 22 mpg on the highway.
2014 Chevrolet Silverado
Both of these numbers are 1 mpg better than the EcoBoost F-150. In fact, it matches the fuel economy of Ford's naturally aspirated, 3.7-liter V6.
"Silverado's available 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 gives customers the best of both worlds," bragged Jeff Luke, executive chief engineer for the Silverado. "Customers get the proven power and dependability of a V-8 truck engine, with better fuel economy than a leading competitor's smaller turbocharged V-6."
5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 engine
GM's decision to go the "tried and true" route may pay off in the end. Recent reports have suggested that while many manufacturers seem to ace the EPA's tests with turbocharged gasoline engines,
most consumers aren't able to match the sticker numbers in the real world
The Ford Atlas Concept previews the nexxt generation F-150
GM's fun in the mpg sun, however, likely won't last long. Ford is reportedly
looking to trim up to 700 pounds
from the next generation F-150, which will go a long way towards improving fuel efficiency. Ford showcased the use of active aero technology on its
Atlas truck concept
(which no doubt is a precursor to the next generation F-150), which boost highway fuel efficiency by 2 mpg.

DAYTON, Ohio (AP) -- Some Ohioans are paying more for their Thanksgiving turkeys this year, but experts say the jump in price isn't affecting sales.
Jim Chakeres, executive vice president of the Ohio Poultry Association, said the price increase in feed grains, specifically corn, is a major factor for the rise.
Stan Landes, co-owner of Bowman & Landes turkey farm in New Carlisle, tells the Dayton Daily News (http://bit.ly/Xnhdop ) that the price per pound has increased to $3.29 from last year's rate of $2.99.
The farm raised about 65,000 turkeys this year and distributes to 300 markets in western Ohio and Indiana.
The American Farm Bureau Federation says the retail cost of menu items for a classic Thanksgiving dinner increased less than 1 percent this year.

THE songs of Scottish popsters Wet Wet Wet will wash over crowds at York's annual mixture of music and racing this summer.

Since ancient times, stories of epic battles and mystical legends have been passed through the generations across the rugged and mysterious Highlands of Scotland. Merida is a skilled archer and impetuous daughter of King Fergus and Queen Elinor. Determined to carve her own path in life, Merida defies an age-old custom sacred to the uproarious lords of the land: massive Lord MacGuffin, surly Lord Macintosh and cantankerous Lord Dingwall. Merida's actions inadvertently unleash chaos and fury in the kingdom, and when she turns to an eccentric old Wise Woman for help, she is granted an ill-fated wish. The ensuing peril forces Merida to discover the meaning of true bravery in order to undo a beastly curse before it's too late.

Hi! I'm Maria and I find myself too busy with the baby and housework to spend time with my six year old son like we used to when my daughter wasn't born yet. I'm scared that he will start resenting his baby sister. What can I do to avoid this?
Hi! I'm Maria and I find myself too busy with the baby and housework to spend time with my six year old son like we used to when my daughter wasn't born yet. I'm scared that he will start resenting his baby sister. What can I do to avoid this?
Hi Maria,
I'm glad you're concerned about this because not only may your son become resentful of his baby sister, but your lack of involvement in his life could lead to rebellion. You want to keep your son's heart and guard it so that he will listen to your wisdom and take your direction when you give it. This could be something as benign as "please take out the garbage" (at 6 years of age) or something as serious as "I don't want you to go out with those particular friends" when he is 16 years of age.
So how can you work time with your son into your day? Include him in activities you do. If you're feeding the baby, have your son sit on the couch next to you, and read him a story (or ask him to read to you, if he's learning to read).
If you're going to the grocery store, take your son with you and have him hold the bag open while you fill it with apples. When you take the cereal box off the shelf, hand it to him and ask him to put it in the basket. Some grocery stores have "little shopping cards" just for kids. If yours has this, look for one when you enter the store, and teach him how to push it along behind you. Teach him how to stop and look both ways before crossing an aisle, and how to be cautious of people in front of him (if you're in front of him, you can stop walking and see if he runs into you or if he's paying attention and is able to stop before hitting you). It's a great teaching time and he will have your attention. He can be your special helper on these trips. Be sure to plan extra time but it's worth it.
What we feel is important is where we spend our time. If you shift your focus from "household chores are more important than my son" then you'll find you naturally make time to do things with him. Of course you still need to cook, but he can cook with you. There are many things a 6 year old can do in the kitchen. He can set the table, he can mix batter with a spoon, he can slice olives with a table knife (not a sharp knife) he can butter toast, etc.
If he's in school, you can make a point to help him with his homework. You can also make a special date just with him, if your husband will watch the baby. Once a week take him out for an ice cream cone or breakfast. Just time for you and him.
These things will go a long way to keeping his heart.
Now that I've given you some ideas, do you have any other ideas to add to this list?
Warm Regards,
Hello Kate!
Thank you for your wonderful ideas

VICTORIAN health minister David Davis has accused his federal counterpart Tanya Plibersek of intransigence over cuts to Victorian hospitals that have closed about 250 beds and cancelled thousands of operations.
Mr Davis described a meeting with Ms Plibersek in Canberra on Wednesday night as disappointing and accused the federal minister of being "out of touch and unaware of the direct impact these cuts are having on Victorian patients".
He said he was meeting with federal MPs "of all political persuasions" in a bid to put pressure on the Commonwealth to reconsider the reduced funding for this financial year which he said was based on flawed population data.
Mr Davis says he has no choice but to pass on the $107 million federal cut, which is in addition to about $123 million a year in state cuts.
Ms Plibersek said she was confident the Treasury calculations were correct. "What you have here is a political campaign from an unprincipled minister, seeking to hide the effects of his own state health cuts ... and mismanagement of the health system," she said.
She said she told Mr Davis during the meeting to ask his cabinet for funding from Victoria's unexpectedly high GST distribution.
"I am very sorry that the Victorian Government is just prepared to dump this in the laps of Victorian hospital administrators in the way that they've done. They are dealing with it in a way that is extraordinary among the states," she said.
Mr Davis said he expected further cutbacks to services in Victorian hospitals beyond those already announced "and that is why I'm up here fighting tooth and nail to stop this".
He said Ms Plibersek had refused an offer to visit a Victorian hospital to see the impact of the cuts.
Submissions to a Senate inquiry into the cuts, initiated by Greens Senator Richard Di Natale, close on Friday.
"I have concerns about the use of the ABS data as the basis of these cuts and I'm looking forward to getting more information through the Senate Inquiry," Senator Di Natale said.
The health ministers' meeting came as Mercy Public Hospital's executive director Linda Mellors said 527 operations would be cancelled at the Mercy Hospital for Women and Werribee Mercy Hospital to achieve a $3 million funding cut.
She said five special care nursery cots would close across the two hospitals, along with 12 beds at Werribee and an unspecified number of beds on the gynaecology ward at the Mercy Hospital for Women.
Dr Mellors said the hospital was aiming to protect as many jobs as possible by redeploying staff where possible and asking others to take leave.
Mr Davis on Wednesday announced the start of construction for a $10 million redevelopment of Castlemaine Hospital, promised before the Coalition won office in November 2010.
He said the 100-year-old hospital, "located in a number of disjointed buildings on the side of a steep hill", was overdue for an upgrade.

Governor Dennis Daugaard Casts Early Ballot
PIERRE, S.D. (AP) – South Dakota Gov. Dennis Daugaard has cast his ballot early for this year's general election.
The Republican governor and first lady Linda Daugaard voted early Wednesday at the Hughes County Courthouse in Pierre.
Daugaard says he often votes early in elections because it's convenient to cast a ballot on a day that fits his schedule. He says that avoids problems that can occur if he's busy on Election Day.
With less than a week to go before Tuesday's election, Secretary of State Jason Gant's website reports that more than 61,000 early ballots have been turned in across the state.

Hey all, I've been a lurker for awhile, decided to finally join. Looking for a litttle help and clarification here. I started surfing a couple months ago and am about to attempt my first ding repair on a board I bought used. I've looked at a number of the old posts on this forum about it, and watched quite a few youtube videos, but I've got a few questions just to make sure I'm on the right track. I'm sure all of these things are pretty basic/standard repairs, but I'm being extra cautious since I'm a first timer. Here are a number of pictures of the dings I need to repair (or think I need to). Hopefully the pictures turned out, I figured it would help you to give me advice, and perhaps other people with similar problems can use this thread in the future.
To give you an idea of the size of this, it runs close to 5 inches along the bottom of the board. Perhaps as wide as a fingernail. The guy I bought it from said it is from his roomate cinching the board down too tight on a roof rack. I believe it's watertight, but the glass is starting to discolor so I figured it was time to repair. How would you suggest I go about a repair so long? Should I take a razor blade and cut out the whole length of the discolored glass? Or just sand it very good?
This is a standard spider crack, this one again is beginning to discolor some and definitely needs repairing. Again I guess my question is should I cut out all the glass around the crack, then fill?
This is perhaps a little delamination? I'm not sure if I'm classifying that correctly. It's not really a ding, just a small area on the rail where you can see the fiberglass cloth. Same question again, do I want to cut out the problem area, or just sand it down?
These next two pictures are of small issues that I'm not sure need repairing or not. Advice on whether or not to repair would be appreciated
This is just a small hairline crack that runs 1 1/2 inches or so from the fin box. I've read about doing the fingernail test on small cracks like that. My nail does catch this crack, and therefore I'm wondering if I should repair it? I think the picture makes the crack look deeper than it is. If I do repair, anything I need to be aware of doing a repair by the fin box?
This is a standard round pressure ding with a slight circular crack running around part of the edge. My nail does catch this circular crack, does this mean I should repair? Would I want to cut out around the whole pressure ding, or just try to sand out the crack, or something altogether different?
Those are the 5 dings I am wondering about. I've got Suncure, and also got a Ding-All repair kit for Christmas, so I was thinking I would use the Ding-All since I've read that usually you will get a longer lasting repair job doing it that way? Hopefully you guys can help a noob out, thanks

Mmmmmm this beef looks delicious. Could I use a casserole dish instead and put it in a really low oven as I don't have a slow cooker? Thanks.
Thanks again for being a guest blogger! It was an honor to have you! 🙂
Mrs Hackney – I'm not real sure if that would work… The slow cookie works because of the steam being captured, so maybe if you had a lid on it, it could work? I'm just not sure. Let me know if you try it.
