Dear China: Apple is exploiting Western citizens as much as Chinese citizens, but it seems that you at least can be bothered to do something about it. Love, Me

I'm envious of the 8 DRAM slots. I already have more PCIe capacity than I can deal with.

[QUOTE=jasong;335627]Apple has been denied a copyright claim on "Ipad Mini" because it's not descriptive enough. I'd like to know why the US legal system thinks that part of their duty is to determine if a name is descriptive enough. Their purpose is to determine whether or not there will be any brand confusion and deal with THAT. There are other duties, but that's the main one.

In my mind, Apple's defense should be the US legal system equivalent of,"Wtf are you talking about? It's not your job to give a damn about descriptiveness. Just do your job, you dumbasses." Plus, the name is Ipad Mini, so I think everyone's conclusion is that it's a smaller Apple tablet. The people that are confused by that name probably aren't customers to begin with.
