It will be interesting to see what will come put of the lawsuit, however, I don't know whether its a smart move by the company to claim that the code behind the software is theirs since the software doesn't work well. (I don't see a chance

The list seems to be concentrated on the last few years. Readers on crunchgear already pointed out RAZR was probably the most successful phone of the decade and still ranks number 2 in the nielson survey. And B&M stores still account fo

Sigh.. I was all excited about it and was thinking of dumping my iPhone, since it seemed I would atleast save some money in the long run. Unfortunately, it would cost me the same and T-mobile service isn't much better than AT&T (imho) T

I don't think ebooks make a strong case for torrents mainly because of their small size and the sheer number. Emule or IRC have been traditionally strong channels for ebook sharing.

Totally agree with you here. Microsoft acted swiftly and aplogized. If plurk's try to litigate here, it would lose major points with me and hopefully with others also. They should be happy that they got some attention and should let their c

They have taken down the site and are investigating the incident. The blame apparently lies with a third party vendor contracted for the job. http://news.cnet.com/8301-13860_3-10415483-56.html

My counter points: 1. No hard link shown between Guede and Knox/Sollecito 2. Lack of DNA evidence for Knox/Sollecito while plenty was present for Guede. 3. No evidence was shown that proved the houses were bleached after the murder Regardi
