EA levels copyright lawsuit against Zynga
Authored by: Gringo_ on Saturday, August 04 2012 @ 05:24 PM EDT

Infringing a developer’s copyright is not an acceptable practice in game development. By calling Zynga out on this illegal practice, we hope to have a secondary effect of protecting the rights of other creative studios who don’t have the resources to protect themselves.”

Well there you go - EA is doing this out of the kindness of their hearts, for altruistic reasons. They cannot be faulted.

While I have no experience in the games in conflict, I would bet that all Zanga's art is original. It seems to me that they are only guilty of indulging in the genre. EA cannot copyright a genre - the idea of the game. It can only copyright the game assets such as the artwork, music and text. I think they are overstepping.

How Gizmodo (on Twitter) Got Hacked
Authored by: Anonymous on Saturday, August 04 2012 @ 08:20 PM EDT
Newspick

The astroturfers will be all over this story, and yes sadly there's a load of fault by Mat. Not for choosing Apple, but for loading so much in one boat. My tinfoil hat is a size too small, which is why my phone runs a different OS from my Netbook, which is different from my Desktop. And my ISP is not my phone company.

Gizmodo's tip for an unpluggable drive that hides in the closet must have come from watching me. But they didn't watch closely. Once a month (not often enough?) it gets swapped with one hidden in a family member's house across town. I also have this terrible nagging fear about the wisdom or otherwise of the Dark Lords of Cupertino and Mountain View who deem one password enough for all their services.

Knight Capital Group - what happened there, really?
Authored by: Anonymous on Saturday, August 04 2012 @ 10:03 PM EDT
Does anyone know what happened at Knight Capital Group?
What was the "glitch"?
Or, do they not know?

Windows, Linux, or Unix system?

Where did the Internet really come from?
Authored by: Anonymous on Sunday, August 05 2012 @ 12:07 AM EDT
PJ commented: "If industry had created [the Internet], it would have
patented it up the kazoo"

Not only that, but it would have been Pay2Play from day one, as the Return of
Investment would have been priorities 1, 2, and 3.
Very few in industry can see the value of providing something for free for
everyone to benefit from; it's contrary to their anti-social instinct of
grabbing as much for themselves as they can as fast as they can.
The public sector serves everyone while the private sector serves itself.
