It ticks me off that Apple uses its gadzillions in profits for frivolous lawsuits like this. Dear Apple, the shape of an apple belongs to the fruit, not to you ... if you can use it, so can others.

Yikes. I like safety features like airbags and strong cages that won't collapse on the driver in a crash. I don't want my car making driving decisions for me. It may be done in the name of safety but until they invent a car that can't break, I don't trust it not to cause more problems than it helps.

Looks like Rapid 7 is slowly becoming a model of how a proprietary company can merge with the open source world. People were worried that it would be another Oracle way back when it bought Metasploit.

It's all in the timing. But seriously, the days where you can sue, and win, over someone ripping off your "look and feel" are over, aren't they? Apple needs to cut it out.

I'm not sure that more compute power = more science breakthroughs (scientific research is kinda screwed up the way it forces scientists to always validate their hypothesis of lose grant funding) ... but it can't hurt.

Internet porn isn't profitable enough? They also have to litigate over copyright?

I wonder if this has anything to do with the suit by Microsoft. Maybe trying to win back the money it will use to settle? Or it found patents and then said -- hey, we can sue Apple .. Hooray!

I saw that report. If it was Cassendra's fault than the database would have been fired, not the VP of engineering. Digg was great, now it's not, AND it's broken all the time.

Poor Williams! So Rose says to the guy, "Here you go ... I broke everything and chased away our most loyal users and now I’m leaving you to stand behind it and defend it. Have fun!"

Facebook Places doesn't include many places yet (http://www.networkworld.com/news/2010/081910-facebook-places...)

But even if it did ...why would I trust FACEBOOK to be my location app. I enjoy Facebook, but I don't trust it -- I certainly don't want it tracking my whereabouts.
