Google goes after people who register domain names with the word "Google" in it or any variant of it. It also registers hundreds of domains that can be considered common typos, such as "gooogle.com" or "gogle.com."
It's not only typos, but entire names that people take advantage of, for example people can register names such as google-search.com (inactive) and use the name to attract (trick?) gullible visitors. The typo problem only exists as a subordinate to the larger trademark issue at hand.

China is not the only Asian country with a strong interest in IPv6. Japan has already implemented an IPv6 production network, which is used by every service provider in the country. South Korea is working with the EU to develop applications and services using IPv6.
To mess up a Linux box, you need to work at it; to mess up your Windows box, you just need to work on it, writes SecurityFocus columnist Scott Granneman.
"There are about 60,000 viruses known for Windows, 40 or so for the Macintosh, about 5 for commercial Unix versions, and perhaps 40 for Linux. Most of the Windows viruses are not important, but many hundreds have caused widespread damage. Two or three of the Macintosh viruses were widespread enough to be of importance. None of the Unix or Linux viruses became widespread - most were confined to the laboratory."
It says 60,000 viruses for Windows in 2003, which escalated to 100,000 in 2004. There haven't been that many major viruses released for Linux/Unix/Mac so let's add a modest 15 to each number listed in 2003.
So, the list comes to:
Windows: ~100,000 Mac: ~55 Unix: ~20 Linux: ~55
and that's being really generous to Windows. Also, keep in mind what it says above: "Most of the Windows viruses are not important, but many hundreds have caused widespread damage. Two or three of the Macintosh viruses were widespread enough to be of importance. None of the Unix or Linux viruses became widespread - most were confined to the laboratory."
I thought there was already an iPod external battery pack for sale by someone. A google search shows one for sale by Bilk'n, er, Belkin.
You're right, people have been selling external battery packs for awhile now. But this article seems to be talking about a home-made one called the "Altoids iPod Battery". Why anyone would want to buy this battery pack is beyond me, it looks absolutely horrendous and you can buy a much better looking and capable one from various different vendors.
If you click on "Click Here for Custom Gadgets You Can't Buy" image, it'll open up a window with a picture of this "Altoids iPod Battery".
Here is the caption:
Altoids iPod Battery
This external power source for iPod music players uses three nine-volt batteries to provide up to ten hours of play time.
Ten hours? This battery claims to provide 40 hours (3G only). While this one allegedly can provide 14 hours.

According to this, this, and this there are no viruses for OS X at all.

The first link even links to an old
