As always, it looks like the actually affected employees who had their job mobility significantly reduced, and hence their bargaining power, GET NOTHING out of this. How is this a victory, except on some government lawyer's resume?
Since the registration record lists you as the owner, transfer it immediately over to your company as the starting gesture of good faith. Then consider the advice already given here.
Your iPhone is clearly not your friend, and this isn't the only story about why today. It's the fink waiting to rat you out at the first opportunity. Go look up the new Safari html 5 database tracking that uniquely identifies you to advertisers. Until the phone comes with strong enough encryption to defeat this hacker in addition to remote wipe that truly wipes the phone, you shouldn't be sleeping too well at night, courtesy of Mr. Steve Jobs.
This would be funny if there was a Kindle version offered. Try to buy out all of those {grin}.
However, hop over to Amazon and they tell you that the first edition isn't available, no Kindle version is listed at all, and that a "revised edition" will be coming on Sept. 14.
Here it was almost old time thinking colliding with modern day realities.
The Big Lie that this Foolish Judge bought into is that the law firm didn't know where to sue until they got personally identifying information - after which they will dismiss the suit anyway. If the law firm did their due diligence with reverse DNS look-ups of IP addresses then they'd know the likely district of every IP on their list and be able to file their suit much closer to the actual user as they should be required to do. But hey, that's too much work - even though lawyers are supposed to do this work before filing lawsuits.
I am left to wonder if a successful challenge could be based on the fact that they sued in the wrong jurisdiction and that they could have determined the proper jurisdiction with little effort (for any single IP) on their part, and this denies me my fair opportunity to challenge their subpoena at this stage of the process, therefore I must be severed from this joint suit. Lawyers anybody?
This event is not uncommon with Paypal, although most amounts aren't this large. Keep a news feed on Paypal and you'll read stories about this weekly.
Paypal needs to be brought down hard and made to end this foolishness once and forever. Our government, who seek to regulate banks and Wall Street to death, are curiously hands-off when it comes to Paypal. Is The Fix in?
If the government won't fix Paypal, then we need a good, honest, alternative to embrace. An equivalent to the Android antidote to iPhone/AT&T. There's a market opportunity there for a proper competetor once the anti-trust authorities break down the manditatory eBay+Paypal linkage.
Oh, wait! That's the very same government who does nothing against Paypal now.
I guess we get the government we deserve by voting these latest clowns into office.
So Singh believes in Global Warming, and that anyone who is against it isn't credible because by his numbers 98% of Climate Scientists believe in it being Real and Dangerous. Here's my take on that:
I remember the 1970's plenty well enough to recall that the great fear then was, are you ready for this, Global Cooling! The Earth was going to freeze in 30 years and we were all going to die through mass starvation because crops wouldn't grow. And yes, the Climate Scientists of that time were all behind that farce as well. How quickly things change.
Before you take Global Warming as your next panic attack, answer the following 3 questions:
1: Is the Earth getting warmer?
2: Even if #1 is true, is it human caused?
3: Even if #1 and #2 are true, can humans actually do anything about it?
Unless you can answer all three of the above questions with an unqualified YES, don't panic and don't suddenly feel that the only solution is the spending of hundreds of billions of dollars in wealth transfer (to enrich those in the environmentally blessed Green Industries), and don't buy into the radicals who believe that the only solution is to take us back to the Stone Age.
Singh, you may be right about Chiropracticy and I agree with you there, but you aren't even close to selling me on Global Warming as being anything other than natural cycles that we've gone through at least 8 of in recorded geologic history well before humans could have had any effect on it at all. Until you can explain the equally obvious global warming on Mars at present as somehow caused by human activity don't ask me to destroy my lifestyle over something I can't actually affect anyway.
And one last point. Despite claims to the contrary, we do not have wonderfully accurate temperature records over the last 100 years. This is my field and I know how even the most modern temperature sensors in common use are often biased and surprisingly inaccurate. Yet Climate Scientists are relying on manually read thermometers, often improperly placed initially or in areas now recently developed, to bolster their cause. And they throw out entirely the 33% of the data that doesn't support their cause at all. Tell me that you have devastatingly accurate temperature data from even 50 years ago and I'll call you a Liar right to your face. Singh may need to learn a bit more on just how inaccurate most of our historical readings truly are -- but that's not his field.
Sounds to me like you're trying to virtually join 2 separate houses together. Perhaps this is the future for all of us.
Seems to me that always on web-cam solutions have been around for a decade or more. Some number of young women paid for their college educations that way.
As I see it, this is simply Larry Ellison doing what he can to benefit his friend Steve Jobs. Totally underhanded and completely unprovable. Anything to stop, hassle, or hinder Android's momentum by threatening court action that is going to take years to resolve. Just what cell phone does Larry himself carry?
If it were me I'd have Julian Assange against the wall in front of the firing squad for murder. There's a difference between exposing corporate malfeasance and national security that he clearly doesn't understand.
This is a Really Stupid Idea. 5 people from 5 different countries have to all get together in the same place to restore the signing key to restart a trusted Internet. If civilization has truly gone down the tubes otherwise, just getting to the next town, let alone across an ocean, just isn't likely. This is all just a PR puff-piece of something unlikely to ever actually work out as intended in practice.
If the publishers own the digital rights and the title is not currently available in eBook form then I say that the publishers have either:
1: Clearly forfeited the rights by not using them, or
2: Clearly don't believe that they do own the rights since they're not making any effort to monetize them -- and who knows of any publisher to walk away from easy money?
Once upon a time (about 1962) Arthur C. Clarke wrote a story called Sunjammer. I was fortunate enough to read it in its original publication. I hunted for it for years afterwards to read again, but he had changed the name because it duplicated the name of another unrelated SF story that year. Imaginary points to anyone who can name:
1: The original magazine of publication.
2: The new story name.
I've been in love with the idea of solar sailing, and in fear of the sun's stormy season, ever since.
WTF JMS? You never seemed like the kind of guy to take this lying down. Heck, you nuked San Diego just because once upon a time there you'd gotten so embarrassed and tongue-tied in your Creative Writing class at SDSU that the lovely E.C. had to finally rescue you. Where's that fight-back spirit now? When does Hollywood get their own nuke?
Once a thief, always a thief. Remember that Hollywood itself was created to escape Thomas Edison's patent enforcers. In California the land was cheap (at that time), the sun was usually shining (free lighting), and they were a very long way away from the east coast and Edison.

Good 'ol Bill Gates: "I've made mine, now screw you!"
Maybe Intel is using HDCP codes to unlock the processors.

Now that you've identified them, how about rewarding them commensurate to the improvement that they've driven your business to?

Okay, suppress all of these -- take 'em, shred 'em, burn 'em -- but don't you dare touch the Quran.

Apple buyers will pay more than Amazon buyers. Good marketing takes advantage of that.

This is not a helpful development. Just another assh--- trying to show off what he (or she) thinks he can do better.

How long, I wonder, before one of these lawyers gets the counteroffer: You drop your suit and I don't shoot you?
Just a question for now.
Carriers refused to discount their data plans if you brought you own phone.

Yeah, almost like it was intelligently designed to be as difficult to kill as possible.
