Hey all,
Recently I have been researching the big hub-bub going on where Apple is suing everyone in sight (my poor attempt at humor). Next thing you know, the guy that invented the Slinky will be getting a subpoena to testify for Apple. I have been VERY busy with the crazed thing I call a life and need a little help here. I am not very delved deep into this massive debate going on between Apple and Google, Samsung, HTC. The thing I request is a "timeline" to loosely term it. Don't automatically discount me as some "lazy" person. I just need the expertise of someone with their nose in this doggy doodoo pile, so to speak. I don't really ask for much, but I haven't followed the battle since the start so my ability to effectively chronologically order the major lawsuits and actions taken by all sides is next to nil. I don't need anything fancy, hell a text file written with Notepad will do, as long as the information is FACTUAL and ordered correctly. If you feel like composing a flashy Powerpoint then by all means do so, but it's not needed. The major points will be elaborated upon and condensed in a 15-20 page Powerpoint by me. Anyways, back to work since my professors getting on my a** about being on XDA.
Thanks, worldindo1.
Edit: Actually, I'll let you find out for yourself

Well of course, but that thing is a pretty good overview for those who are too lazy to compile on their own.
That might be the suits in the state of Georgia. I know for sure it's not worldwide.
Well since the OP hasn't come back to see if any donkeys would do his work for him, I'll post my original response.

Sorry - Google and research. That's why they call it research. (I'm also doing you a favour because this thread has troll-bait smeared all over it!!)

LOL! I know, when I think about it, I wonder how I managed to post so much in a few months, but I go through a bunch of sections each night and it's only 4 posts a day average! I think it's due to the increase of juniors and the off the wall questions, and of course, the serious users looking for help/answers. The problem is as soon as I set everything up I want to change it, so then I'm back to another round of posting. Sigh.....I need a beer .
exactly. If you'll notice, i've expanded my tech support tyranny into the elf and artemis forums. I can't let you beat me now...!!
you think youre on too much?

I'd agree. You may think your daughter is innocent, but unless you know her every move which is kinda scary, but if you do, then you have nothing to be afraid of. I mean I'm not a man whore who goes around sleeping with all the women I can find. I stick to one But it would be nice if parents started to talk about this to their kids. (Mind you, I come from a place where they would never discuss or have a sex talk EVER)
No child over the age of 16 is innocent. You just have to hope they aren't death penalty guilty..in context to your morals as a parent of course.
Ha, yes it is off topic. Is it anymore off topic then the bible or if your Muslim compared to mobile phones? No. Just thought I would post on it as it is very bizarre.

Lol no I was not implying that you were Muslim, just that it's no more off topic then those topics.
Any update? lol
I have a comment; however, I think I should keep this to myself as I don't want to offend anyone. There are other forums on the net where you can talk more freely about these things and where it is more appropriate. I really don't think that it is appropriate for older adults to be discussing these things with minors anyways. Especially where it looks like this discussion will be heading.

Discussions are totally fine as long as it doesn't lead to any revealing photos, videos, etc. I mean kids can now go to Wal-Mart and buy condoms. No one will stop you. You just have to get used to it. I understand many might be uncomfortable with that idea, but still. It's the generation gap you could say.

I am not trying to start anything, I just want to know. He is the OP of a pretty significant theme aggregate thread I would like to know when we can expect him back to continue to update the catalog or if we are going to need to do it all over again.
I hope it is the former. I'm pleeding for his life, judge! Don't take my boy!
lol Why did he get banned?
Here comes the drama..
And OP, I'm not sure.
threadrape, though i believe its a political smear campaign. he knows NO means NO but some have convincing false evidence. if the sig don't fit you must acquit.
Hopefully not for too long. Even if you don't agree with how he's handled the whole fixxxer situation, he's funny and contributes a lot.

My guess us 3 day. That's what tejas, kcarpenter and I were threatened with. And I followed the instructions you posted in the op about removing the battery and I think you caused my phone to be bricked. I deem you responsible
Edit got my phone working you had failed to provide instructions on reinserting the battery
my two cents on everything is simple.
before we got the first port of 2.1-dec 09, thanks to flipz. there was NO DRAMA. it was all development.
i know i joined in january but i watched everyone and everything. there were never any developers leaving because someone posted warez, or people pointing fingers at someone. or even someone degrading mods.
mods are mods for a reason. they use their power to keep pointless **** from starting up. this thread needs to close. XDA is for development/help of phones. not to degrade people. we are on the internet. we dont know eachother personally. which is how it needs to be.
so please keep these issues to a minimal. we finally get our own general and dev threads and its being shot to hell.
as for the op's questions. alot of the bans are a week to a month. there was obviously a reason. its no ones business except neb and the mods.
no offense to anyone. i just want issues to be DROPPED and lets continue to help and develop.
Its a real shame to see a great forum ruined by censorship. I belong to several dozen forums covering things from pc components, to video games, car forums to home improvement and on and on and never have I seen a forum so poorly handled. You let people openly admit to criminal activity and actually encourage it, while on the other hand, you ban people for standing up to them and calling them out. You play favorites by banning people you don't like and letting your "pals" do what they want. Worst of all, now you delete threads for no legitimate reason other than not liking it or not agreeing with it. This forum wasn't great before the "organization", but now its turning into something even worse. Maybe you guys are having a bad day, I don't know, but I hope you get your act together and go back to doing what your supposed to do, that is moderate, not police and censor.
Have a good night and thanks to the devs and their hard work................
its all good
Oh look, bans are worthless here too. Mods aren't even smart enough to find the forum plugin to block an ip address. This place is truly depressing, and I will take the time now to personally thank flips for ****ing the community that this place once was. All because he had a burr up his ass one day.
That's my five bucks worth. Screw two cents.
Also. How much you wanna bet that fixers new id doesn't get banned? Childish **** right there, make a new account after you lost your first one due to stupidity.

The first day of practice was fun.
1) I fell while we were working on back peddling. Who knew that you needed to keep a forward stance lmaoo!
2) I messed up positioning like CRAZY! I didn't know where to stand or what to do.
3) I got tackled... a lot. It didn't hurt. Maybe once because I tried to tackle the kid and I did it wrong. (He's one of the annoying ones.)
4) I got to do the school chant thingy yeah and I built up dramatic effect so everyones laughing at me now.
5) I didn't get to play in practices.
6) I failed epically. We did some conditioning and I was the last person to cross.
Over all it was a bad day, but I tried hard and hopefully this'll help me get better. =]

That was great!
Okay, humor is a great way to make an entrance, so I will post a short story I wrote. Loving the forum so far, and have learned so much!
Anyway, before getting the Galaxy S3, I talked it over with my iPhone and Siri, and they said it was okay if I brought someone new into the household and relationship. Anyway, I brought the Galaxy S3 home to meet the "gang".
At first they were okay with it, and then jealousy reared it's head. I ended up fighting daily with my iPhone and Siri, and at one point, I was sleeping on the balcony.
I was like WTF?? This is *MY* house. Why am *I* sleeping on the balcony? To make a long story brief, I took back my place and made Siri sleep in the toaster for a night to show her who was boss. (she's watching me type BTW. Silly Siri. Hi Siri, daddy still loves you!)
Anyway, things seem to be back on track, but last night I couldn't sleep cuz S Voice and Siri were bloody arguing over which pizza place was closest to me. Always competing. They're so cute.
Anyway, I have to get going, S Voice wants to go out for a walk and she told me to leave Siri home. BBL

Now I feel like I need to defend myself and to be very clear I am not a troll, and far from.
Altho the definition for "troll" or "trolling" these days is so ambiguous and used so loosely, I am not sure anyone really know what the term even means anymore.
I want to add, I am a "retired" hacker/exploiter/phreaker. I love web forums(And now this one), and have been using them in one form or another for about 27 years, since 1985. I joke around alot and am very friendly/social.
I hope to continue to learn on this forum as Android OS is a new frontier for me.
Having said all of this, I will cut this off now. Take care my friend.
