iPhone Antitrust and Computer Fraud Claims Upheld

LawWatcher writes "On October 1, 2008, a federal judge in California upheld a class action claiming that Apple and AT&T Mobility's five-year exclusive voice and data service provider agreement for the iPhone violates the anti-monopoly provisions of the antitrust laws. The court also ruled that Apple may have violated federal and California criminal computer fraud and abuse statutes by releasing version 1.1.1 of its iPhone operating software when Apple knew that doing so would damage or destroy some iPhones that had been 'unlocked' to enable use of a carrier other than AT&T."

Scribd Sucks

[algae]

Thanks a lot for linking to an article that puts perfectly good plaintext info into a craptastic, poorly supported, embedded flash image that won't even load in 64-bit linux. Scribd sucks so badly it makes black holes jealous. There's already a document format for the internet, fuckers - it's called HTML. Might look into it.
