Spanish custom to publish false news
today features new Apple rumour 12/28/2004 01:02 PM
An article claiming that Apple plans to build its own mobile carrier is a hoax, according to the Spanish website which published it today. A link from the news story on CanalPDA.com leads to a separate posting, which states: “The 28 of December, day of the Innocent Saints, has restored in Spanish mass media the custom to publish the false news, ‘inocentadas’, in which humor and the talent are indispensable ingredients.” The hoax claimed that “recent rumors about the iPhone have turned out to be just the tip of the iceberg: the big news is that Apple will become soon a mobile carrier.” The article went on to say that “in a CanalPDA.com exclusive, a top Apple executive confirmed that the company plans to build its own mobile carrier. According to Albert Slope, VP of Apple's recently created Mobile Platforms and Services business unit, "creating our own mobile carrier is the next logical step in our strategy of providing the Apple experience to the users of our products. We believe that existing carriers are not offering the flexibility not the performance consumers deserve, so we have decided to move forward, providing cellphone users a full, personal communications and information environent, with the user-friendliness that has become synonymous with Apple's products and services".”

Google Wins Lawsuit In Germany Over
Trademarked Terms 09/21/2004 12:29 PM
While the courts in the US still seem to be a bit confused over the purpose of trademarks in lawsu its against Google concerning advertising based on trademarked keywords, it looks like the German courts may have a clearer picture. A similar lawsuit brought against Google in Germany has been dismissed, though details are not given. Again, the purpose of a trademark is to avoid confusion for the customer. That is, it's designed to protect another company from misleading someone into believing they're a different (usually more popular) company. However, advertising somewhere where people are looking for a particular brand is simply good marketing, not trademark infringement. Just go into your local supermarket, and look at all the similar products stacked near each other, the aisle coupons for other products, and the receipt coupons advertising competing products after you pay. There's no confusion over brands -- it's just advertising.

Kevin Sites wins 2005 Payne Award for
Ethics in Journalism

Kevin Sites wins 2005 Payne Award for
Ethics in Journalism 04/13/2005 03:52 AM
Xeni Jardin: I'm very happy to blog the news that Kevin Sites, for whom I have endless respect and admiration, has been honored with a Payne Award for Ethics in Journalism. Bravo, and a huge congratulations, Kevin!

At a time when studies show the credibility of the media in steady decline and sensational stories make headline news, there are journalists and news organizations whose ethical decision-making processes set new standards for the keepers of the public trust. The 2005 Payne Awards for Ethics in Journalism will honor The Denver Post, freelance journalist Kevin Sites, and Arizona State’s independent student newspaper The State Press for exemplifying the highest standards of their profession in the face of political or economic pressures.(...)

Kevin Sites, a freelance photojournalist for NBC and military pool reporter, is the Payne Awards’ professional winner for his “courage, deliberate thinking and outreach” after filming a U.S. soldier killing an unarmed Iraqi man. Sites, an experienced war reporter, shared the videotape with the military, then worked with NBC to create a well-nuanced story that aired 48 hours after the incident. As was required, the footage was also given to others in his pool. When he became a lightning rod for those reacting to the story and for foreign journalists using the footage without context, he responded by using a web blog (www.kevinsites.net) to explain his decision and its reasoning to the public. The judges felt the blog and reactions to it added a new dimension to the story.

Winners will be honored in a ceremony on May 12 at the University of Oregon School of Journalism and Communication. Link to award info, and Link to Kevin's blog.

Apple Slaps Rumor Site With Lawsuit

Apple Slaps Rumor Site With Lawsuit 01/06/2005 01:50 AM

Rumor site AppleInsider got hit with a lawsuit Wednesday, in the wake of two articles leaking information on what is to be release d in the Macworld Expo next week.

The suit, filed Tuesday in the Superior Court of Santa Clara County, Calif., aims to identify who is leaking the information and to get an injunction preventing further release of trade secrets. However, in filing the suit, Apple identifies specific articles that contain trade secrets, indicating that at least parts of those reports are on the mark.

Two ways to look at this, I guess; one, that the rumors reported on AI are dead on, and Apple is wanting to keep its secrets secret. Or two, (thanks to a Gadgetopia reader/poster) is that the rumors are not true, but Apple is trying to keep the rumors from raising the public's expectations for upcoming releases, which ends up hurting Apple's stock prices.

Me? I think that Apple has some hot stuff planned for the Expo, and the headless iMac is part of it. Why else would they announce a newer/faster/no-more-expensive Xserve the week before?

I sure wouldn't want to be the guy at Apple leaking this stuff. And maybe I'll think a little harder about posting the next Apple rumor I hear about.
