You know what's going to happen next -- the amendment will be approved and it will get the "clean it up in conference" treatment. Some Hill staffer will just magically make the amendment disappear since it won't be in the Senate version during the conference negotiations.
"Can you tell me why video games need a tax incentive?" Sen. Eleanor Sobel, D-Hollywood, asked Department of Economic Opportunity Executive Director Jesse Panuccio at one point.
This just reinforces the many comments from former employees that Jobs was a dick. I have a lot more respect for Ed Colligan as a man of principle. I hope his image gets a nice upgrade from this fiasco.
This might not be a bad precedent...you could go after every gun manufacturer for promoting murder in the first degree.
On a more serious note, I don't see how a case like this would ever be successful. As the defendant, you could point to hundreds of products used in the promotion of gambling (electricity, Windows products, Google products). You can also easily make the case that automobile manufacturers aren't sued when their cars are used in a crime or gun manufacturers either.
I'm really surprised that you can't train a computer to recognize the parasite images. I would think that a computer that does OCR could easily learn to recognize the variations in the parasite images.
P.S. I just patented "method and process for identifying malaria parasites on a computer."
I agree. How is this different than walking into 7-11 or pretty much any other building? All the SF DOT has to do is slap a small sticker on the bus window that says "You are being filmed."
I think you guys are missing Wes' point. There might be a "mismatch" in what Mike got from the HuffPo statement. I also saw it more innocently that HuffPo might be trying to better match a story about golf with Titleist's ads rather than the Titleist ad appearing on a page about the hurricane. It might not be this sinister thing that advertisers can block comments and more about making the ads relevant to the comments.
PSY might be big everywhere else, but he's a nobody in Germany since you can't watch any videos because GEMA hasn't licensed the rights. Rights that they probably don't even hold.
You can tell The Verge that not allowing people to read full articles on their RSS feed also drives down readership. The Verge has great info, but you can get the same stuff from Engadget, BGR, IntoMobile and they let you read full articles in RSS. I'm happy to go to Verge's site to share or comment, but hate getting only two lines in RSS.
How long until somebody attempts to copyright the interface to attach to the international space station? Hey, it's just a big API and it's in SPACE, so it definitely needs a license fee to attach.
Note that this is a material change in the terms of your contract with Sprint and you can cancel service with no early termination fee. Generally, if you call in and complain and say that you are going to cancel the account because of the change, Sprint will offer some discounts to get you to stay. Just be sure that whatever they offer does not reset the contract termination date.

You have to give AT&T a few points for trying to at least make it sound like its for the customer benefit. Did you see the tripe being rolled out by the telecom execs at the Mobile World Congress this week? It's the same stuff that Whitacre was saying in 2005. You just want to go on stage and slap them.
It's a shame this wasn't done by ABC news. I would have loved to hear them argue that Peter Jennings was secretly endorsing Mitt from beyond the grave.
Stay in School
If she had just stayed in school until she had her PHD (Pimpin' Ho's Degree) she would have known to avoid this traceable communication.
The same old thing

Prices go up...
In future news, the White House announces that they have raised the minimum number of signatures for their online petition to 310 million.
Constituency Says It All
"Can you tell me why video games need a tax incentive?" Sen. Eleanor Sobel, D-Hollywood, asked Department of Economic Opportunity Executive Director Jesse Panuccio at one point.
Well, she is the Senator from Hollywood.

Can't stop the music...
But if I stop doing business in Italy, how will I ever get invited to one of Silvio's bunga bunga parties?
Can't a computer do this?

GEMA Strikes Again

If it's not page breaks, it's your RSS feed.

Re:
I had a similar thought -- is Craigslist now responsible for any libelous or infringing work posted to their site? This might come back to bite them.
It's only a matter of time...

If corporations are now people, why can't URLs be people too?

Dead men can't endorse...

More lawsuits coming
In 2010, 14-year-old Jakadrien Turner ran away from home, "distraught over the loss of her grandfather and her parents' divorce."
I think this was a plot point of a recent Mad Men episode. They should totally sue Jakadrien for stealing their idea!
