on: Apple takes Chinese food company to task over their logo
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.

on: Toyota automatically stops car before it can hit pedestrian
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.

on: Rapid7 backs John the Ripper password cracker
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.

on: IPhone design ripped off Samsung? Not so much
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.

on: Google pushes Portable Native Client to secure native cloud
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.

on: Porn copyright troll drops lawsuit against 670 "John Does"
Internet porn isn't profitable enough? They also have to litigate over copyright?

on: Motorola sues Apple for patent infringement
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!

on: Blame Cassandra for Everything you Don't Like
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.

on: Kevin Rose steps down as CEO of Digg
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!"
