The clip can be downloaded online. As with the design claimed by the D’889 Patent, the tablet disclosed in the clip has an overall rectangular shape with a dominant display screen, narrow borders, a predominately flat front surface, a flat back surface (which is evident because the tablets are lying flat on the table’s surface), and a thin form factor.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: 1.8em;

width=&quot;150&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Recently I have been engaged in a Facebook debate with an intelligent person. The debate is about man-made climate change. My opponent is a “believer” and I am a “denier” but what we apparently have in common is that we enjoy a debate.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 0.7em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.7em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;This afternoon I have sat back and considered not the topic of the debate rather the process of the debate and reached the conclusion that a debate is a process that has powerful benefits for learning, innovation and luck.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul style=&quot;list-style-image: url(http://thepursuitofluck.com/wp-content/themes/mistylook/img/bullet.png); margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 1em; padding-right: 1em; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;li style=&quot;line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 0.3em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;A debate forces you to pick a side, to be polarizing. Having a position and ruffling feathers pulls you away from the silent and average middle, who sit quietly hoping to avoid confrontation.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 0.3em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;A good debate is competitive and the competition forces you to think, research and articulate quickly. In an attempt to win a debate you need to develop a personality that suits and accents the point you are a making. For example a mild and meek personality is probably the wrong personality for a trade union activists. A “too cool for school, black skivy and jeans wearing personality is the right personality for the CEO of Apple Inc.&lt;/li&gt;

I don’t think that there would be too many billionaires or too many nobel prize winners, or too many world sporting stars without super-sized conviction and resolve.&lt;/li&gt;

For example it might draw out criticism, rebuttal, encouragement or be the catalyst for others to share new ideas.&lt;/li&gt;
