please also consider what you would have said if Apple had been selling a product for the last 5-6 years, and somebody now came along and bought a website, and claimed that it now owned that trademark.
The analogue is in somebody buying ipad.com (which AFAIK Apple doesn't own). Just because Apple bought icloud.com doesn't give them a trademark, otherwise the trademark system should just be shut down in favor of the domain name system.
Also how does it compare to MongoDB? Thanks to (somebody) for the original reference to msgpack. You can't go to sleep for 15 min without getting behind on something new.
The way the guy above is arguing, even reviewing a product would be illegal, since you'd have to use the (trademarked) name of the product, and pictures of the product.
And you're website or magazine shows ads, so it's for-profit, and by reviewing a product, you're "using a trademark for your own profit", according to MAFIA logic.
In a statement Stephen Elop, Nokia's CEO, said the company must "accelerate the pace of our transition"
Hilarious. Translated: March faster to oblivion.
What fool would buy a Nokia smartphone after all the jerking around of customers and developers? The sad thing is Nokia had the best actual phone technology in the business (i.e., actually making calls with good voice quality).
What's funny is so many people (well, not people, actually managers) seem to think that the best manager is he who knows absolutely nothing about anything, except "management", that is.
You might be right (I haven't played with the Samsung).
At the same time, I don't think there's a cause for legal remedy here.
Example from fashion: You make a exact copy of someone's designer dress. All the buttons ("icons") will be in the same exact spot, colors the same, etc. But there's nothing you can do about it in the courts (even though some bought-off Senators are trying to change that).
Well, if they did that, someone else could come along and sell Sun servers, right? I mean, they have to actively use a mark in trade (hence trade-mark) to be able to claim it.

But what do you think would happen to a customer who actually reported such a problem?
One scenario: He'd be reported to the police for possible investigation of "hacking". (How else could he have uncovered a vulnerability?)
What would be nice is for all the people upset with Ubuntu to switch to being either Mint or upstream (Debian) devs.
Yeah, 82 in the winter doesn't seem necessary.
68 should be fine with a sweater.
But in the summer, 82 seems just fine, maybe with a fan.

Did the NYTimes put out the same crowdsourcing call for various Wikileaks docs?
Also, is there any particular reason Palin's emails have been released? Do all governors' emails get released? (Don't know.) And George W's?

Care to share?

>If you want to profit from using Apple's trademarks on promotional material
So advertising a comparison between your brand, and somebody else's brand is illegal?
And lawyers wonder why people hate them.
Of course, I'm familiar with the EFF, but I happened to forget what it stands for.
Anybody know offhand (without cheating)?
Electronic Freedom Fighters?
Electronic Frontier of Freedom?

They have expiration dates for pump handles?
Sure, I guess stuff has to be inspected, but that's to verify it's still working, not that it'll stop even working in exactly 365 days.
Is there an open source project that helps track time for employees?
Can you have 2 panels in KDE (as in Gnome2)?
Menu/system stuff on top, apps/windows on the bottom.
I personally don't like the global menu (though I think it's great for netbooks).
More power to you if you do.
KDE allowed you work the way you like, unlike Gnome/Unity which are forcing straitjackets on users with no way out.
That would actually seem to make some sense.
Contact information belongs to the employer. It's entered on company computers on company time.
Even copying it into your own paper notebook means you were using company time to do so, which is uncool regardless of the legality.
Anybody have a list?

Yeah, it's like, is every manufacturer supposed to have a different form factor?
Apple gets rectangular, because everybody knows Steve Jobs invented it.
M$ - triangle?
Samsung: Pentagon.
Nokia: Hexagon
After all the companies divvy up the polygons, they'll leave a black bi-gon for OpenMoko.

How about hiring people on the side to fill potholes who weren't smart enough to get into Apple's Foxconn iPod factories? $500-$100=$400.
Most jobs are provided by small or family businesses.
>Yeah, thorium is cool.
Hehe.
