On October 19, 2009, pro se Plaintiff Craig Smallwood (“Plaintiff”) filed a Complaint (“Complaint”) against NCSOFT. Although Plaintiff named only “NCSOFT” in the caption on his original complaint, two NCsoft entities have appeared in this action, Defendants NC Interactive Inc. and NCsoft Corporation, both of whom are named in the Second Amended Complaint (“Defendants”).
He's representing himself. I guess we can't blame a lawyer for this one...
Most glaring is claim 13 which refers to comparing heartbeats of the current using a heartbeat sensor and comparing it with a library of AUTHORIZED USERS
Does this mean there's finally a method for preventing my cat from randomly dialing people in my contact list? It's about time!
They applied for a patent, they weren't granted one. I'm sure there is plenty of prior art on this type of thing (the cable monopolies come to mind with disabling set-top boxes or the like).
$9.99 is already WAY too much for an eBook. Why the need for advertising?
Greed. You should look it up in one of Amazon's eBook dictionary offerings... it's on the page immediately following Snuggles' teddy bear hawking fabric softener.
I understand that bike seats are uncomfortable, but I had no idea it was on purpose.
RTFA, that's not in it anywhere.
He goes on to argue that the bicycle program is only a gateway into bigger policies including, but not limited to, forced abortions and population control.
Someone else said that, not Crazy Maes.
I don't think the summary summarizes the story very well...

If you're a guy and you don't ride a good bike with a 'nad-friendly-seat' you're on your way down the path of bike-conspiracy-related sterilization which will result in population control.
I don't want to call this guy crazy... because I don't want to offend any crazy people.
Not if you live, work or visit there. They need basic protections from drug gangs and their corrupt government, military and police. They don't need these scanners, they need millions of bullet proof vests.
wasn't adobe one of very few platforms that kept producing their software suites for apple through their lean years?
Sure... with with smaller feature sets and sometimes years behind the Windows versions. Apple put Adobe on the map and Adobe turned their back on Apple when they were down. Good business decision by Adobe? Probably. Does Steve Jobs have a memory like an angry vindictive elephant? Probably.
While Steve Jobs is betting his mobile platform on it, predicting Flash's demise is short-sighted
The lack of Flash on iOS isn't going to kill off Flash or iOS... it only prevents Flash from spreading to another platform. Though they are rather popular, iDevices aren't the be-all and end-all of computing. These redonkulous claims only distract from the fact that Jobs/Apple is giving Adobe payback for treating them like a second class platform for the past decade. Payback's a bitch, so suck it up Adobe. You have Flash, Apple has iOS... you're both going to make big profits for the foreseeable future.

No, but this computer was running the old version of Flight Simulator.
but sensationalist headlines make it seem worse than it is.

Do you really think bike messengers and guys who think they look good in lycra should reproduce?
Um, no ... not.at.all ... 'cuz those guys often test positive for 'fanny packs' too [shudder]

Doesn't that mean we'll need an audit trail to verify a player's score?
Sorry, but AOL isn't for sale at the moment ;-)
It's just a research venture. Intel is trying to figure out how McAfee can use up so much of a CPU that it should be put out of its misery.
A Microsoft developer and an Adobe developer walk into a bar. Neither one lost their iPhone prototype.

By itself, video is still a one way street.
Obviously you've never used Chatroulette ... which is basically 'crotch shot roulette' ;-)
Ohhh, I get it. But why is God pretending to be the manager of a skating rink?
Because he's done trying to save us from ourselves and needs something to do to fill the time ... and there's nothing good on TV anymore.
