Did they? The nameing format for Apple products is well established. How is this any different than domain squating? Cisco is being dishonest about this, and is extorting Apple to get a piece of pie that they have no right to. Apple will end up paying Cisco because it'll be cheaper in the long run, but the shouldn't have to.
Gee, ya think? China has more than a billion people.
Not even addressing how many of these have Internet, and how many of those are "sophisticated" users, we're talking about Chinese government hackers here. How many Chinese there are is irrelivent.
I believe it shows the normal progression of someone getting better at what they do. Also, her personality comes through in her writing.
So the team has become more comfortable with the writing project, and maybe one or two of them have started to make it more personal. Blog fraud has been done before.
No, my opinion is that PJ is who she says she is. She's the real deal.
Than it shouldn't be hard to prove, yes? And just when SCO says "I call", she "can't be found"? To me it's very suspicious. I'd like to believe PJ is real, but she's the one who decided, as an outside person, to get involved. No one on either side asked her to get involved. Does she really exist? I'd like to know.
Only a massive blast of the Ballmer arrogance death ray could conviance Wal-Mart to karate CHOP 35% of their potential customers.
I'm sorry, where do you get those browser numbers as they apply to Wal-Mart? In the United States, non-IE is much less than 35%, and I'll bet that when it comes to those hitting Wal-Mart's web site, it's even less. And when you consider that *most* people who hit Wal-Mart with FF and have problems will simply open IE, well, is 35% even in the ball park? Obviously I'm not sitting here with numbers that are any more accurate than your "pulled out of the sky" numbers. But consider Wal-Mart's demographics: not Geek.
I think really it all ties into OSTG's desire to be bought out for big $$$ by ZDNet or C|Net or even... Google? I mean come on! With so MANY of the stories here now coming from shills and whores like Roland, instead of from the MANY valid stories they get every day, well, doesn't take a rocket surgeon to figure out what the scam is here.

I'd like to have one of them, but as a general rule, I don't buy any laptop I haven't actually typed on.
We use them where I work (Air Force), we send them into the field with C-17 crews. Toughbooks have a reputation for being "slow" only because there are so many old ones still working (at $4000 plus, we use 'em till they die). The new ones are just as zippy as any new laptop, they only suffer from a small screen size due to the small "footprint" requirements.
If you want to use a laptop in a field over summer, buy the cheapest you can find and keep buying them every year. 5 years later you'll have spent less money (even if you break a couple and need to go buy some replacements) and you won't be stuck with an outdated, but perfectly functioning, computer.
The point is, there aresome situations where breaking "in the field" is not good in a big way. That's why the DoD buys 'em.
The problem with what you say is that it effectivly destroys the "value" of YouTube. If I where a stockholder, I'd run. Basically this makes YouTube just another corporate shill, and this means its days are numbered a lot shorter than last week.
YouTube and Google are not supposed to demand proof.
Come now. Google / YouTurd has these dogs called "lawyers". If they had given a shit and wanted to question the Take-Down, they could have. What this does is set a precident for Viacom to walk all over Google/YouTube and take steaming dumps on them. If YouTube / Google was smart, and not "evil", they would not have folded so easy.
Can't he sue them? Surely they are appropriating something that is clearly not theirs?
They haven't "appropriated" anything. They've done a shitty job of trying to ID Viacom copyrights on YouTube, and the spineless pussies at YouTube / Google have folded to their blanket take-down requests instead of demanding more solid proof. YouTube/Google are now the Official Bitches of Viacom
Sure, Viacom needs to improve their accuracy in automatically IDing their stuff, but the weight of the balme needs to land square on YouTube for a complete lack of spine.
I find myself watching more and more news content on youtube simply because it's there when I want it. I don't have to read a program guide or program a TV.
No, you find yourself watching more and more news content on youtube simply because you have no life.
No matter what side of the RIAA-wars you come down on, there's something endearing about a kid who stands up to bullies.
Well, sort of. There is of course a lawyer behind it. A 16 year old might have a gut feeling that these things are taking place, but I'm guessing his lawyer suggested this particular approach...
I think it's a big mistake to include things like Playstation 3 support "in the kernel". It distracts from the idea that Linux is a "serious" OS, not some half-baked platform cobbled together by "gamers". Isn't there a better way to deal with game support? Is the kernel of a general purpose OS really the place? Isn't it just Microsoft-style "bloat"?
My cynical reaction: The patent application would not have been pulled except for the written admission on the part of a Microsoft developer that the feature was copied from BlueJ.
A week or so from now, a headless body will turn up floating in Lake Washington off Madina.
But this being Microsoft it took me seconds to fall into conspiracy mode.
There's no "conspiracy" about it, this is now common among most big technology corporations: Throw buckets of patent applications at the Patent Office, and see what sticks. Often the "little people" they are ripping off don't have the means to fight it, and while the other big players know it's bullshit, they find it cheaper and quicker to just pay the license. It's not just Micorsoft, they all do it.

"Security Researchers" are threatened with prosecution? Oh, mean hackers .

Well... It's Charter's network, so I guess they can do what they want, eh?

No, I don't think they are. Should they be? Why?

Floppies are used to store flight data on the C-17. So, if they do "go away", we in the Air Force will still be buying them... Prob at $50 a crack...
But it's basically the same thing: I want to use your patents, you can use some of mine.

It is porn...
"Pornography" is such a dirty word... Let's call it what it is, erotica.
What does that have to do with anything? If you don't like "large corps" that's fine, but it has little to do with this issue here.
