Malaysia files suit against Apple’s iPad for copying patents

FEB 2 – Malaysia has filed a suit against Apple for infringing patents after its recent launch of the iPad, its latest “what-the-hell-is-it” device.

The joint suit by the Federal government and the Penang state administration is related to ideas that were first registered by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak and Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng respectively.

Putrajaya and Komtar are claiming that the iPad, due to its position as a product in between the iPhone and the MacBook, is mimicking the 1 Malaysia and Middle Malaysia concepts, respectively.

This week, in mixed messages

DEC 16 — Is it just me, or is the world getting more confusing by the day? One day you’re safe in the knowledge that you can have your teh tarik with condensed milk, the next you’re told it's not actually milk!

It used to be that you could take certain things for granted, for example, that liberals want to drink, smoke and have sex all the time and conservatives want to pray and drive big cars.

However, BN leaders were quick to deny that this was due to a loss-of-confidence in the coalition and merely an insignificant matter.

"After all, it was a motion tabled by one of our backbenchers, so it is still technically a win for BN," said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dubel Spik.

Nick Griffin for PM... of Malaysia

OCT 29 — Ahh, so yes, they let Nick Griffin, the leader of the “racist” British National Party, on BBC’s "Question Time." What was the result? A record audience of eight million viewers, edging out even the titanic following for "Strictly Come Dancing", and 3,000 new members for the far-right party.

All that achieved by broadcasting a man, allowed just a few minutes in the hour-long show, who twitched all night and talked about Winston Churchill’s “Islamophobia” and wanting to see Britain return to its innocent days when it was 99 per cent white because it is apparently tragic when a “unique human genome becomes extinct.”
