MSNBC reports that a rock from the moon dating back some 340,000 years ago was found right here on our very own little chunk of real estate called Earth. A rare find to be sure, this is still not the first time a moon rock has been found on our own planet. Roughly 30 moon rocks have been found on Earth since 1979, with about 20 lunar impacts causing them to head our way in…

MSN Stakes Local-Search Claim on Virtual
Earth 06/22/2005 02:18 AM
Microsoft plans to announce its initial push into local search on Monday as it takes a step closer to launching a competitor to Google's online aerial maps. The company's Internet division is expected to release a beta version of MSN Local Search. The service, which will be added as a link from the main MSN Search site, will provide geographically targeted search results about businesses and other local information, as well as online street and aerial maps pinpointing the results.

MSN's main competitors, Google, Yahoo and America Online Inc., already offer similar local listings, but MSN officials say they are already working on combining local search with more advanced online maps. To that end, MSN is set to announce that it is merging the team building the MSN Virtual Earth service previewed by Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates last month with the MSN Search team.

Microsoft Case

Lawyers Don't Get Quite As Much In The
Microsoft Case 09/17/2004 04:12 AM
Remember the lawyers who worked out the settlement deal with Microsoft in California? The ones who wanted $3,000 an hour for legal work, and $1,000 an hour for administrative work? All because they got you a stunning $16 for the copy of Windows that you overpaid for? Well, it looks like those lawyers will have to settle for a bit less. Rather than the $286 million, a judge has ruled that they'll only get $112.5 million. Of course, that means more of the settlement money is available to anyone who bought Microsoft products in California and fills out the claim form. Amusingly, I just tested out the claim form and found that, at least on this computer, it didn't work in Firefox, but worked just fine in IE.

$258 Million In Fees

Lawyers Who Got Microsoft To Settle Want
$258 Million In Fees 05/12/2004 02:08 PM
There are plenty of stories about class action cases where it's the lawyers who walk off with the real prize, where those involved in the case get pennies for the dollars they lost. Now, the California lawyers who convinced Microsoft to settle their anti-trust suit say they deserve $258 million in fees - approximately 25% of the entire settlement. When broken out into pieces, it means $3,000 per hour for the lead attorney, $2,000 per hour for 34 other lawyers and an impressive $1,000 per hour for administrative work. Microsoft, of course, claims the fees seem a bit high - but you could make the same argument about some of their software. Meanwhile, Microsoft may get off without paying the $16 or so they owe you for overcharging on Windows if you don't fill out the claim form. Yes, that $16 they overcharged you for Windows represents just under one minute of administrative work done on this case.

Why Lawyers And PR Don't Mix

Why Lawyers And PR Don't Mix 03/08/2004 11:04 PM
This is not the first time it's been noted that sending in the lawyers to try to "disappear" information a company (or individual) doesn't like tends to have the opposite results. Remember Barbara Streisand trying to stop a photographer documenting coastal erosion from posting a photo of her property? Prior to that, very few people noticed the site. After the lawsuit began many more people went and saw the photo. The same sort of thing appears to be happening with Infinium Labs and HardOCP. While there was mumbling in the gaming community that Infinium's Phantom gaming console didn't really exist, not too many people were paying attention. In fact, by hiring a respected CEO the company was gaining credibility. However, now that they've been tangled up in a lawsuit for threatening HardOCP for an article that was six months old and pretty much off everyone's radar screen, the questions raised by that article are suddenly getting a lot more attention. While the lawyers may think it's best to sue, the internet makes it very likely that any lawsuits (or even threats of lawsuits) pretty much guarantee that they'll be giving whatever content they want hidden even more attention. Someone should sit some of these lawyers down with some PR people and review each and every case where this has happened.

The Lawyers and Their Money

The Lawyers and Their Money 05/12/2004 11:17 AM

This one goes into the Shameless Hall of Fame: Some of the lawyers who sued Microsoft for its predatory behavior against California customers are doing their best to fuel the public's contempt for the legal profession. They're asking for more than $250 million in fees, as the AP reports today -- "about $3,000 per hour for one lawyer, more than $2,000 an hour each for 34 other attorneys and $1,000 an hour for administrative work." This is beyond absurd. We get ripped off once by Microsoft, and now the lawyers -- whose deal with Microsoft gives precious little individual customers -- are bellying up to the trough in ways that would embarrass anyone who had an ounce of shame. The judge in this case should say no. Give the lawyers a reasonable fee, not this grotesque lottery score. It's the customers who deserve most of that money.
