So apple won over samsung in that big lawsuit case. They ended up getting 1.05bil from them =/.

APPARENTLY YOU CAN GET A FULL PATENT ON RECTANGLES!



Well the end result is this as well as their goal to ban multiple devices will only do poor things for the consumer.

Currently I have 5 cleats, but only use Puma King and v1.10. Love v1.10... but it's not Kangaroo leather & after sprint several times, my feet are killing me, so that's the down side. King has a PUMA LITE leather and comfy through whole game and all... but that reverse tongue really annoys me. Both cleats prob last til this year (crossing my fingers), so I need new cleats within few months. Sadly, current PUMA cleats lineup doesn't really interest me at all (same w Adidas).

Yeah, current ranking are:
1. CTR360
2. Tiempo
3. Mercurial

I do like Tiempo... but when I do NikeID, only Tiempo I can customize is Legend so +-$50 than CTR360... so I'm debating on that. My local shop only had Mystic. They had few Legends... but not on my size to see how well it fit to my feet.

I think, I gonna go w CTR360 w SG spikes (like you recommended). & later down the road (before next yr summer), I'll buy Tiempo Legend IV NikeID.

No problem, just remember that SG is best for wet conditions. You could get away playing in them but if the grass is really thick and the cut is higher than usual, you might end up slipping a bit and same goes for certain artificial turfs. I realize Nike offers AG for the CTR360's so I'm just letting you know that is another option. And I'm taking a liking to the new Evospeeds by Puma as an alternative to the Murcurials. I myself haven't bought the Legends yet cause I'm not sure if it's time for me to move on and really go with newer tech cleats. The Superfly III, CTR360 Elite, and the last Total 90 Elite all look appealing and I may jump ship to one of them as well.

Also what size are you, I might be able to track down the cleats you want.

Most of the time, I play in grass and lil bit firm ground. I play indoor soccer, but sadly where I play don't have artificial grass, it has kinda like mini-golf grass lol

I saw EvoSpeed 1... but I just don't like the design. in few days, my local shop will have EvoSpeed 1, so I gonna test em out and see if fit me well or not

I wear 9~10. It's all depends on brand. Nike, I wear size 9. Puma, I wear size 9.5~10. Adidas, I wear size 9~9.5.

If I had $250~$300 to waste, I would totally get these 2...

AND THE SWIPE, DOUBLE FINGER SQUEEZE AND TAB AND ETC.

What if Xerox first patented the mouse and their graphical interface back in the 80's (I think?) and suit Apple for patent infringement, there will be no Apple, and no iPhone, and we will be using Android, Nokia and Windows phones right now. Hmm... that may not be so bad...

In fact, I think Apple actually copies the outlook of their iPhone 4 from Samsung's Instinct phone back in 2008, and their iPhone 3GS was copied from HTC's Touch phone on that curve back back in 2007. But neither companies files law suits nor patents against Apple...

To bad majority of consumers are sheep; although, iPhone, iPad, iPod are some of the best electronics on the market. People just like to buy brand and fit in with other people or they're just too lazy to actually research a product/service before purchasing.

Apple is patent trolling everyone which I don't blame them because it's a business but at the same time consumers are allowing such trolling because no matter what they'll still buy Apple products due to their great marketing.

No competition results in lack of innovation

Oh well, it'll be awesome to buy the next iPhone 5 only to realize it's just iPhone 4S with new but insignificant features. Oh and color version thats a $100 more. *rolleyes*

This is what I'm most afraid of. I don't buy, have never bought, and at the moment never intend to buy apple products; but if they're just going to go around sueing their competitors / nickle & diming the consumer the biggest loser WILL be the consumers. Which unfortunately won't be limited to apple consumers.

The only recent Apple product I bought was an iPad 3 because frankly at the time there was nothing better that was offered. Yes, I researched for an alternative; however, my MacIntosh 2 was the shiii back in the day love playing games on that sucker.

[Re~Mix]

Are people naive enough to think Apple is the only company going around suing everybody (and conversely getting sued)? It's a constant battle out there, wisen up.

Random thoughts huh...hmm

Tomorrow I get a year older. Not looking forward to it.
