• So the reason athletes bite into the medals is because they are asked to by photographers? #lame #olympics #
• @RussB Maybe not that insightful, or you'd be talking mortgage and not rent… ;-) #
• @jimh Historically tax breaks or refunds have never stimulated the US economy. But they've allowed politicians to be (re)elected. #
• @jimh Yeah, rich people don't spend more because they earn more. That's a privilege reserved to the poor and middle-class. #

In legendary Chen Village, everyone is a martial arts master, and uses a powerful form of Tai Chi in all aspects of their life. Yang has arrived to try and learn it, only to find that it's forbidden for the villagers to teach their secret style to an outsider. But when a mysterious man comes to town with a frightening steam-powered machine and plans to build a railroad through a village, the villagers realize they may have no choice but to put their faith in Yang, who has a secret power of his own.

• @gerikson Not that suprising. Apple has a long history of suing partners. #
• @talios @gerikson I thought they were going to shift like 50% of the production to Sharp and somebody else, LG, maybe? #
• @gerikson Yeah, I don't see how tha'ts helping innovation. And it's not about patents anyways. It's about cross-licensing deals… #
• @koehntopp All phone manufactuers do these kind of in-house product comparisons. Big freakin' whoop. #
• @koehntopp Get back to me when Samsung has presented his case, you're just hearing Apple' side right now. #
• @gerikson @koehntopp They don't have patents of most of the UI stuff. They are trying to *prove* that Samsung copied the phone as a whole. #
• @gerikson That's pretty good. Can't stand Coldplay either. #
• @koehntopp If they had patents for most of that stuff, they would. But they don't. #
