Only problem there is sentences does not have an apostrophe ]]>Mar 26th 2010 7:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/that-was-easy-apple-buys-ipad-trademark-from-fujitsu/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/that-was-easy-apple-buys-ipad-trademark-from-fujitsu/Mar 26th 2010 7:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/that-was-easy-apple-buys-ipad-trademark-from-fujitsu/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/that-was-easy-apple-buys-ipad-trademark-from-fujitsu/
First, I don't think you know the definition of dictionary. Ironic, but let's move on. Second, in Lord Vader's comment, the word sentence is what one would call a possessive noun, and the apostrophe is appropriate. Given the size of this comment box, I'll have to leave the rest as an exercise to the reader, and just say that you should set down the dictionary, pick up a good grammar reference and work it out.]]>Mar 26th 2010 10:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/that-was-easy-apple-buys-ipad-trademark-from-fujitsu/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/that-was-easy-apple-buys-ipad-trademark-from-fujitsu/
re: "Only problem there is sentences does not have an apostrophe"

Lord Vader used the word "sentence" in a possessive way, which does require an apostrophe. He did not used the plural "sentences" at all. His statement is constructed in the same manner as "I find PukeRocket's lack of sense disturbing."]]>Mar 26th 2010 10:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/that-was-easy-apple-buys-ipad-trademark-from-fujitsu/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/that-was-easy-apple-buys-ipad-trademark-from-fujitsu/I find your failure to use a sentencing-ending period disturbing.

@wrathkind
You used the past simple/past participle form of "use" in place of the non-finite form of the verb in your comment. You have failed me for the last time, [senator].

Don't we all just love grammar (Nazi/) Empire scums?]]>Mar 27th 2010 1:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/that-was-easy-apple-buys-ipad-trademark-from-fujitsu/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/that-was-easy-apple-buys-ipad-trademark-from-fujitsu/
Yes I saw my grammatical error only after I submitted the comment. It's clearly a typographical mistake. It doesn't change what I was explaining. I was sincerely trying to clarify to pukerocket what was happening, without snarkiness; but thanks for your unhelpful retort. ]]>Mar 27th 2010 2:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/that-was-easy-apple-buys-ipad-trademark-from-fujitsu/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/that-was-easy-apple-buys-ipad-trademark-from-fujitsu/
Oh lol! I just realized that I used PukeRocket instead of Edobe as the example for reconstructing Lord Vader's sentence. I guess that might come off as snarky, but that was unintentional. Sorry.

Nonetheless, me using "used" by mistake is no worse than you using "sentencing-ending"! Clearly a typo. Thanks! ]]>Mar 27th 2010 3:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/that-was-easy-apple-buys-ipad-trademark-from-fujitsu/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/that-was-easy-apple-buys-ipad-trademark-from-fujitsu/Haha, good catch.]]>Mar 27th 2010 3:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/that-was-easy-apple-buys-ipad-trademark-from-fujitsu/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/that-was-easy-apple-buys-ipad-trademark-from-fujitsu/Mar 27th 2010 8:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/that-was-easy-apple-buys-ipad-trademark-from-fujitsu/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/that-was-easy-apple-buys-ipad-trademark-from-fujitsu/

Yeah, they had no idea that name was trademarked, executives of competing companies don't ever speak to each other, and no-one has lawyers!

They just picked the name out of a hat and hoped for the best.

All the above is a lie

]]>Mar 26th 2010 5:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/that-was-easy-apple-buys-ipad-trademark-from-fujitsu/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/that-was-easy-apple-buys-ipad-trademark-from-fujitsu/I've always wondered this too. It's possible that Apple likes the extra PR on these things, but I'm not sure it gets enough media coverage to be worth the fact that the owner of the trademark has Apple over a barrel as far as terms. They can extract a much bigger payout once Apple's already committed to using the name.

It's also possible Steve Jobs just ignores everyone in the room and says "this is what we're calling it, I don't care what your objections are, just MAKE IT HAPPEN" and they pay whatever necessary. ]]>Mar 26th 2010 5:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/that-was-easy-apple-buys-ipad-trademark-from-fujitsu/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/that-was-easy-apple-buys-ipad-trademark-from-fujitsu/
