Great links. Thanks. Can't believe rtm didn't serve any jail time.

Wonderful. Thank you.

Ok, so you just used Flash. I wasn't sure whether you used some alternative flash-generating tool.

This is the NYTimes piece where they discuss the Microsoft reward:

I'm an artist. I could project it in a public space at night, for example. Or incorporate it into a dance performance. But it's ok if you don't want me to use it. Perhaps you could tell me what software I could use to make my own?

Sorry, this is off topic, but what software did you use to make that secant square on your blog?

Also, what license are you using for it - Creative Commons? Or is it copyrighted? I'd love to use that somewhere, but with permission/attribution of course.

An enterprising lawyer could put together a compelling class action case if only GetSatisfaction's pockets weren't so shallow. I'd like to see them get their asses handed to them for this shit.

We need someone to start up a site that provides user feedback on GetSatisfaction, using GetSatisfaction's look-and-feel. Taste of their own medicine.

Yep, look-and-feel is protected as part of a company's intellectual property. As it should be.

Sounds like fraudulent misrepresentation/impersonation. Good luck if you try to do that with a brand like UPS. They would be down your neck in a second. A cell phone store in my neighborhood got busted by TMobile for misrepresenting themselves as official TMobile resellers. This is no different. Should be grounds for legal action.

Hedging your bets?

Competition.
