Google vs. Booble

Google vs. Booble 02/10/2004 02:46 AM
Booble Legal Notices: We have recently become aware of your website at http://www.booble.com (the Domain Name). This Domain Name is confusingly similar to the famous GOOGLE trademark. Your web site is a pornographic web site. Your web site improperly duplicates the distinctive and proprietary overall look and feel of Google's website, including Google's trade dress and the GOOGLE logo. But Booble fights back strongly (good for them!): In your letter, you refer to the Supreme Court decision in Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music, Inc., 510 U.S. 569 (1994) (holding that a commercial parody may qualify as a fair use and is not presumptively unfair). As you may have recognized, this is a copyright case. Although some analytic similarities exist between copyright and trademark parody cases, Google neither claims copyright infringement in its letter, nor is any relevant portion of its web site copyrightable. [...] Since the law does not appear to support Google's position, we ask that Google reconsider its objections and accept the Booble web site in the spirit that it was intended - as a parody. We hope that these comments will permit you to now close your file on this matter. However, if you wish to discuss it further, please feel free to contact the undersigned....

Booble Explains Meaning Of Parody To
Google Lawyers 01/28/2004 03:38 PM
As we predict ed last week when the so-called "porn search engine" Booble launched last week, it didn't take long for Google's lawyers to swing into action and insist that Booble hand over the domain. Booble has the full letter on their site, and with it, their response, explaining to Google's lawyers the meaning (and legal protections) associated with a parody. They also knock Google for suggesting that Booble somehow "tarnishes" Google's image, but does it in a way you might not expect: "Entering the terms "porn" and "sex" in the Google search engine return 98,400,000 hits and 269,000,000 hits, respectively, while entering these same terms in the Booble adult search engine return 268 hits and 291 hits, respectively. Therefore, the Google mark - which has a longstanding association with pornographic terms and material - is obviously not tarnished." Also, Booble appears to have edited their "we're not Google" disclaimer to add: "(for starters, we have a sense of humor)."

Edirol ships R-4 recorder with BWF
format support 03/19/2005 03:14 AM
Edirol Corp. on Friday announced that its R-4 recorder, which was first introduced last October, is now shipping. The company has added support for Broadcast Wave Format (BWF), which enables the R-4 to write the metadata required to comply with that standard. BWF files can be used in any playback device or audio editor that is compatible with the WAV format. The R-4 features a 40GB hard drive and USB 2.0 connectivity, with the ability to hold up to 17 hours of material at 24-bit/96kHz quality or up to 58 hours at 16-bit/44.1kHz, which is comparable to a CD.

Economy of Scales: Edirol R-1

Economy of Scales: Edirol R-1 03/23/2005 05:36 PM

iPod is great for playback, but it's not much use when it comes to recording. Try Edirol's R-1 instead: palm-sized, integrated stereo microphone, and recording to CompactFlash. With 1GB of CF running about $70 (the R-1 costs under $400), removable media is the way to go. And as opposed to cheap consumer audio gadgets, this box records absolutely clean; even the built-in stereo mic sounds terrific (check out the audio samples). The extras are just as impressive: there's a built-in metronome and tuner for practicing, plus built-in digital effects for EQ, noise reduction, and reverb, and even software simulation of different microphone types -- you can even fake a vintage mic. When you're ready to off-load your recordings, you can plug into your computer via USB 2.0 (or use onboard digital out or analog in/out). See CDM for more details and discussion. If you're a video/audio pro, check out the hard drive-based 4-track R-4.

Waterfield Bags launched a SleeveCase designed specifically for the Mac Mini within weeks of the official Apple announcement. In its default configuration as I received it, the SleeveCase is merely what it claims to be, a case into which a Mac Mini will fit. However, Waterfield offers a configuration with a detachable shoulder strap. (read the review) This makes it very comparable to the eM2 bag we reviewed a few weeks ago...
