Galaxy S III Designed by Lawyers

post from Daring Fireball on 04 May 2012 08:03:19 PM. © Daring Fireball

Ron Amadeo, writing for Android Police, think many of the design changes in the Galaxy S III — both hardware and software — were made in response to Apple’s trade dress infringement suit against Samsung:

So there you have it. A darn-near perfect explanation of the GSIIIdesign. Sure, it’s butt ugly, but it’s also 100% (well maybe 90%)lawyer approved. An amorphous, unsymmetrical blob that doesn’tcome in black, with a non-permanent dock and non-square icons.There’s no way Apple can add this design to their Samsung lawsuit.

It really does look a lot less like an iPhone than previous Galaxy S models.

Chitika: iPad Accounts for Nearly 95 Percent of
Tablet Web Traffic

post from Daring Fireball on 04 May 2012 06:02:29 PM. © Daring Fireball

Chitika:

Based off of impressions across our network, the iPad accountedfor 94.64% of all tablet based traffic. This is impressive in andof itself but to put this number into perspective, the nextclosest competitor, the Samsung Galaxy tablet, boasts a lackluster market share of 1.22%. Coming in last, in respect totraffic share, was the Barnes and Noble Nook with a meager 0.53%traffic share. In defense of the Nook, it is used primarily as ane-reader, with the capabilities of a tablet.

Android is winn? ah, forget it.

Tom the Dancing Bugs Inner Hive

post from Daring Fireball on 04 May 2012 05:04:06 PM. © Daring Fireball

Ruben Bolling:

The comic strip is more well-read and well-known than ever, but itmakes far less money than it used to. This seems to me an anomaly— as the comic is enjoyed (hopefully) by more people, it shouldgenerate more, not less, revenue.
This anomaly is one of the defining features of the digital world,and it?s up to me to figure out how to make it work. That led meto this idea:
I?m selling subscriptions to the appropriately cheesily-namedINNER HIVE. It?s not a charitable support-me program, because Idon?t think that will work by itself in this context. I wanted tomake it a real transaction where the buyer gets something of real,greater value than the money spent. Plus I didn?t want to getinvolved in the logistical nightmare of distributing tote bags.

$9.99 every six months to support one of my all-time favorite comics. Boom, done.

The War on Drugs

post from Daring Fireball on 04 May 2012 05:04:06 PM. © Daring Fireball

Julie Watson and Kevin Freking, reporting for the AP on a college student who locked up by the DEA for four days in a cell with no food, no water, no toilet, and no human contact:

Then as the days dragged on, the terrifying realization set inthat he was trapped. He had been forgotten in a 5-by-10-footwindowless room, hearing only the muffled sounds of voices andtoilets flushing in the Drug Enforcement Administration facilityin San Diego.
On the third day, he began to hallucinate. He urinated on ametal bench to be able to drink his urine. He stacked a blanket,his pants and shoes on the bench and tried to reach an overheadfire sprinkler, futilely swatting at it with his cuffed hands toset it off.
Then, the engineering student says he gave up and accepted death.He bit into his eyeglasses to break them. He says he used a shardof glass to carve “Sorry Mom” onto his arm so he could leavesomething for her.
