Google Faces Another Lawsuit

Google Faces Another Lawsuit 08/18/2004 04:26 PM
Another lawsuit has been filed against Google due to the companies AdWords keyword advertising program. So next Tuesday Google will be heading over to a German courtroom where it will continue to defend its technology against Metaspinner Media GmbH.

Metaspinner claims that Google's AdWords keyword advertising program infringes on its "Preispiraten" trademark. According to PCWorld Metaspinner already "won a preliminary injunction against Google last November and is seeking a permanent injunction and damages." This isn't the first time Google has been taken to court for similar trademark infringements. Earlier this year American Blind & Wallpaper Factory accused Google that its search engine's keyword-based advertising violates its trademarks.

This probably isn't the last of these types of lawsuits, eEspecially since several companies use generic words in their names - e.g. General Motors. Because of this, Google could also be targeted for keyword-based advertising. For Google's ad program to be ever sucessful, they need to resolve these issues once and for all.

Microsoft Faces Lawsuit Over Caller ID
for E-Mail 08/12/2004 02:38 PM
A new patent battle is brewing -- this time over Microsoft's claim over Caller ID for E-Mail. F. Scott Deaver, owner of Failsafe Designs, says Microsoft is guilty of the "outright theft" of his product name and intellectual property (IP), and will seek legal and financial redress from the Redmond, Wash., software giant and anyone else that uses his technology that verifies e-mail is coming from the domain it claims.

If that happens, it's sure to put a monkey wrench in the deployment of the Sender ID specification, which is a combination of Microsoft's Caller ID for E-Mail specification and the Sender Policy Framework (SPF), worldwide to combat one of the avenues used by spammers. The technology used in Caller ID for E-Mail is part of a specification called Sender ID currently under review by an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) working group as a proposed Internet standard to eliminate the use of spoofed e-mail addresses found in many of today's spam messages.

The Many Faces Of iTunes For Windows

The Many Faces Of iTunes For Windows 12/22/2004 01:13 AM

Microsoft Windows have a philosophy, it seems, to offer one thousand and one UI choices to do any single thing. This may not be the best UI implementation, but, hey, it's interesting that Apple's iTunes is taking this philosphy to heart.

On the Mac, you can show iTunes as a full-fledge window, as a mini-window, or hide the iTunes window.

On Windows, here's what you can do...

1) Display as a full-fledge window, just like the Macintosh version.

2) Display as a mini-window, just like the Macintosh version.

3) Minimize the window, so that it appears as a button on your task bar.

4) Also show the iTunes icon on the system tray, so that you can right-click on it to access common iTunes menu items. (To enable this option, open the preference dialog, choose "Advanced", and select "Show iTunes icon in system tray." Now, minimize the iTunes windows.)

5) Show the iTunes icon on the system tray, but don't show the iTunes button on the task bar. (To enable this option, open the preference dialog, choose "Advanced", and select both "Show iTunes icon in the system tray" and "Minimize iTunes window to system tray." Now, minimize the iTunes windows.)

6) Don't show the iTunes icon on the system tray and don't show the iTunes button on the task bar. Instead, show a mini-mini player on the task bar itself. (To enable this option, open the preference dialog, choose "Advanced", and unselect "Show iTunes icon in the system tray." Right click on an empty area of your task bar, select the "Toolbars" sub-menu, and then select the "iTunes" menu item. Now, minimize the iTunes window.)

Independent Apple retailers could be assigned a trial date next month in their lawsuit filed against Apple Computer alleging unfair trade practices. Thomas Santos, president of MacAdams Computing, a San Francisco-based Apple retailer, said the trial date could be named as early as January 25, 2005, according to a report by CRN today. The lawsuit involves six independent retailers who claim Apple intentionally withheld adequate inventory from them in order to stock up Apple's own retail outlets and online store. The lawsuit also charges Apple with underpricing its retail partners, denying warranty claims made by certain retailers and poaching customers from retailers, said Santos.

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.

from ThinkSecret,, CNet, and Mike.
