The commercials are: Apple (1984), Monster (1999), CareerBuilder (2005), GoDaddy (2005), Xerox (1977), E*Trade (1999), Pets.com (2000), Computer.com (2000), SalesGenie.com (2007) and OurBeginning (2000). This year's ads are coming soon." I've always been a fan of the Outpost.com gerbil cannon spot.

    Remember the recent post about the NFL claiming all intellectual property related to the game? Including trademarking every related name? Kind of like the ridiculously-overreaching IP grabs you see in the tech space all the time.

    On a brighter note, I hear that the trademark "19-0"(tm) is going for next to nothing these days :-)

    ("19-0" is a trademark of the New England Patriots Football Team, and should only be used when referring to their official hubris).
