Given that there is no "non-compete" and only a confidentiality agreement, I don't agree that HP is 'right' to sue seeking to bar his employment elsewhere. If they felt this way, it should've been negotiated in the severance agreement. Perh

It seems like HP's board made a horrible miscalculation with this whole situation (going back to Hurd's firing). All of this is essentially brought on by the board's decision to take the advice of a PR firm and let go of their best performi

Keeping this in mind makes me extremely grateful that it's only in ITMS and not in my library. I don't want or need another social network, least of all one welded onto my personal music collection.

I would like to see the same outcome as the author of this post, but I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon. The television content business (cable TV networks) and the television distribution business (cable system operators) ha

There needs to be some kind of NoFollow attribute for 'social objects.'

They do clarify in the fine print of their terms and conditions which customers agree to if they're using the service. So, it's not unlawful just because you don't agree with it, because you've already agreed to it. There is nothing new her

It's refreshing to read more of reality-based examination of last week's announcement.

I know "great comment" comments are silly, especially in a vote-based comment system, but seriously, great comment. Very instructive.

Agreed. The strategy dates back even further to 2000-2001, ostensibly when the quoted comments were made.

I can't comment if that is probably is the case or not, because all I have is this post, and it's not cited here. What I do see is fear mongering built almost exclusively on "what they didn't say," "what ifs," and worst-case conjecture. And

Getting really tired of conspiritorial hand flapping posts from people who have no telecom / network engineering perspective. I give both of these companies some credit for using their leadership positions to at least offer a framework to t

A principle reason they give as a defense of their app review policy and walled garden approach is that it is necessary to protect users from bad or malicious apps. I think he's inferring (or pointing out the irony) that perhaps it's not th

I haven't heard anyone posit that the end is actually supposed to be real. I'd concluded, just like the parent commenter, that the whole thing -supporting characters and all- was a dream to let himself off the hook and move on.

Individuals are small businesses too. Consultants, contractors, lots of people. More people, yes people, file a Schedule C than you might be aware of. Hell, someone who does a lot of business selling stuff on eBay or Craigslist is subject t

No way. This is accounting fraud, plain and simple. It was a massive cash kick-back from a supplier that was disguised as regular earnings or revenue to keep Wall St. expectations and Dell's stock price up. Who knows how much Dell and other

Nothing like buying your way out of massive financial fraud. What happened to Sarbanes-Oxley and all that post-Enron & Worldcomm legislation?

I think our elected representatives need to listen a hell of a lot more to guys like this.

I'm aware of those settings, but it sounds like Apple is now at least reserving the right to collect and/or use some location data irrespective of, or in addition to those settings. I may be misunderstanding it or inferring too much, but th

Is there a way to opt-out of Apple's location tracking altogether? I know apps usually request express user permission for it on a case by case basis, but the way I'm reading the new T&C, Apple and/or it's partners no longer need it in

I just headed over to DabbleDB's site to check it out and I see that Twitter, of all companies, has acquired it (!) They're no longer accepting new sign-ups. It looked like a totally awesome service. I can't imagine how twitter is going to

Fight fire with fire. Arrington is now on WaPo and is widely read as a quasi-reliable source of tech journalism - this is from a blog called "angry drunk." Everything has a time and place.
