Apple, Cisco Settle iPhone Trademark Lawsuit

Posted by kdawson on from the you-phone-we-all-phone dept.

A number of readers let us know that Cisco and Apple have settled the lawsuit over the use of the iPhone name for Apple's new multimedia phone. The agreement allows Apple and Cisco both to use the iPhone brand on their own products. Also, the companies said they would explore opportunities for interoperability in the areas of security, consumer and business communications. Apple still faces a suit over the name in Canada and one over its touch-screen technology in the UK.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you, for calling out the elitist Apple Jacks -- the guys that jack off any time Apple sends out a press release.

    ...So that you morons will waste all your mod points.

    It's not my fault that you have no concept of what the moderation system is for. Here's a clue: It's not there for you to editorialize the comments. That's not why it was intended, and if you're using it that way, you're contributing to the cheapening of this community. Why do you even care about Slashdot if you don't care to use it properly.

    You're probably the same kind of person that checks Wikipedia and rolls back edits every time they change something that you personally wrote.

    So go ahead, mod this -2 Troll. You know you want to. Waste those points so that other people with contradictory opinions can be heard without fearing that some idiot who can't express ideas with his own words will take his aggression out on them.
