Mike Rowe Settlement

Mike Rowe Settlement 01/24/2004 05:04 AM
Microsoft has reached an agreement with Mike Rowe, the Canadian teenager who was using the Web site mikerowesoft.com in alleged violation of the Microsoft tradmark. In exchange for Mike turning over the mikerowesoft.com domain to Microsoft, the company has:

• Agreed to help direct any traffic from mikerowesoft.com to Rowe's new Web site (which he's currently working on) to make sure he doesn’t lose any business. The company will pay any out-of-pocket expenses related to this change, including cost associated with changing over to the new url and any other expenses. (The Rowe family is now calculating those expenses.)
• Invited Mike and his family on to the Microsoft campus for the company's Microsoft Research Tech Fest in March. The company will pay for the travel and accommodations. No promises, but it's possible he could meet Bill Gates, depending on the Microsoft chairman's schedule, Desler said.
• Agreed to pay for Mike to get Microsoft Certification training. Depending on which courses he chooses, this could lead him to become a certified support technician, or system administrator, or something along those lines.
• Agreed to give Mike a subscription to MSDN, the Microsoft Developer Network Web site, with various tools for developing software around Microsoft products.
• Agreed to give Mike an Xbox game system, complete with a number of games of his choosing.

Does anyone else think it's a little crazy that Microsoft feels the need to attack a teenager named Mike Rowe for creating a website called mikerowesoft.com?

Like any good fledgling businessman, Mike Rowe knew he needed a catchy name for his website design company. And being possessed of a sense of humour and the cheekiness of a typical 17-year-old, and given his name, what better than to register his Internet domain name as mikerowesoft.com?

Gambling in real life and then doing it online are two totally different things. When you gamble online, you have a lot risk involved. Are you being cheated, who are the other players and will your information end up on some bulletin board someplace? The main issue that MSNBC brought up is about the common use of computer players called “bots”. Are they a liability?…

I met some folks yesterday whom I haven't seen for a long time: Peter Yared, whom I worked with at NetDynamics, and Mike Boich, whom I worked for at Radius.  Peter Yared was CTO of Sun's Liberty division and Mike, founded and headed Radius, Rendition, and Eazel.  He is now a VC at Alta Partners where Robert Simon, a long time friend, also works.

I forgot to take Peter's picture but here is Mike and Robert.

Mike Linksvayer 04/05/2005 02:09 AM

(Next in a continuing series of blurbs about Commoners I'm thankful to have worked with.)

If there is one person whose heroics are most unsung at Creative Commons, it could very well be Mike Linksvayer. Mike has been the CTO for about two years. He came on at a crucial time, when CC was growing jerkily from a loose network of contractors to a real organization, and he brought stability from the get-go. Stability isn't sexy, and it's not very visible from the outside. If CC is like a band, then Mike's the drummer. People not in bands rarely ever get how much a tasteful, subdued drummer matters. But people in bands know that they're impossibly valuable. And CC, when you boil it down, is all about the drums.

Mike is the force behind, among other things: the vibrant cc-metadata mailing list (our most active), our membership at the W3C, our amazing multi-language license interface and Commons Deeds (have you taken a good look at our stuff in Suomesk i?, Dutch? -- amazing!), the discovery and harnessing of the mighty talent called Nathan Yergler (profiled here earlier), the move to leverage CC Search off Nutch's open code base, countless tech developments and deals, a huge chunk of our blog posts, and who-knows-how-many other technological things that I don't know about (because I simply don't understand them). Something else you may not know: He also knows the the nitty-gritty of our licenses as well as anyone.

Mike's got a fine, bleak sense of humor, which I for one appreciate. This year he sported the best, most efficient Halloween costume -- shorts, and a tshirt declaring a single phrase -- that I've seen in a while. Maybe the same fearlessness that fuels his humor also drives his ability to call anyone on their b.s. -- a skill and a will that are rare and crucial in this "space."

Another thing I love about Mike is his taste. I'm a firm believer in the notion that the more stuff you hate, the better taste you have. Mike, I can testify, hates a lot of stuff. Which means he loves the stuff only really worth loving. So I've learned a lot from him -- about what arguments are too cheesy, what sentiments too sentimental, and not least, what Bay Area radio is actually worth listening to.

Here's a toast to Mike Linksvayer, in the hope I get to work with him again very soon. All of you who still get to are luckier even than you might think.

And it was written, scored and produced on Macs. By Barbara Gibson, Apple
