Cartoon: So Sue Me

If you own a big tech firm, you aren't Microsoft, and you weren't named in the patent lawsuit filed this week by Paul Allen's Interval Licensing, well... you're probably looking deep into your soul today and asking where it all went wrong. If you aren't a defendant - which includes AOL, Apple, eBay, Facebook, Google and Yahoo! - why not? After all, the technology in dispute is, according to Interval, "fundamental to the ways that leading e-commerce and search companies operate today." Dammit, you say to yourself. Maybe you aren't one of those leading e-commerce and search companies. Sponsor Wait: most of your work is with open-source software. Like Java! Maybe that's why you aren't being sued by anyone. Aw, dammit. Ah, well. Maybe it's for the best. Not everyone can be on the A-list or in land of corporate jets, gargantuan mergers and stratospheric lawsuits. Hell, if it weren't for those of us on the B-list (or, in my case, somewhere way down in the YYs), there wouldn't be an A-list. So chin up. With a little more work, a few game-changing innovations and - yes - some luck, someday you, too, could be on the receiving end of a lawsuit big enough to alter global currency markets. Good luck with that! More Noise to Signal. Discuss

StumbleUpon Brings Its Serendipitous Discovery To The iPhone

digg.com — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 06:40:49 +0000

On a desktop computer, StumbleUpon makes sense. You’re on the prowl for cool stuff, click a button and find it. But there is a ton of competition these days among services that let you do this — and increasingly people are relying on Twitter and Facebook for this. But mobile is a different beast.
