Judge Slaps Down Spammer Who Is Suing
SpamCop 06/28/2004 08:02 PM
In the ongoing ridiculousness concerning the spammer who sued SpamCop, a judge has denied Scott Richter's request for an injunction against SpamCop, noting that by simply forwarding on email messages as a complaint, SpamCop is protected via the CDA, which says that service providers aren't responsible for the content sent through their services (the same reason that AOL shouldn't be sued when someone uses their service to do something illegal -- oh, whoops< /a>). However, the judge also went further pointing out that even if they weren't covered by the CDA, she saw no reason to grant the injunction. She said Richter and OptInRealBig failed to prove its case that SpamCop was in any way libeling them, since SpamCop never states that their reports are definitely spam. Also, there was no evidence that the company acted with "malice" against OptIn. The judge also denied Richter's request for emails from SpamCop claiming that giving Richter those addresses would be the equivalent of: "one who either intentionally or unintentionally sends pornography to minors, who then asks for a list of those minors so he will not continue to commit the crime."

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.

Good Chip/Bad Chip

Good Chip/Bad Chip 03/19/2005 02:23 AM

Making computer chips is not as easy as it sounds. Manufacturers throw out 20–50% of the chips they make because of defects. According to a USC professor, Melvin Breuer, many of these defects are so minor that the chips could still be used in video cards and audio applications without a problem. He feels that if the manufacturers could identify these chips, they could resell them and drive the cost of electronic devices down to an amount in the billions of dollars each year of savings.

The technique doesn't have to be limited to chips that are consistent in their errors. Chips that make errors only once in a while can also be spared, according to Breuer. They just need to end up in devices where humans can tolerate a glitch in the output from time to time. For instance, a video card could mark one pixel in a million as red instead of blue and an end user probably wouldn't even notice the difference. The same goes for a soundcard in a voicemail application that blurs one word in every thousand. At present, chips failing these tests are usually tossed.

The Millipede Chip

The Millipede Chip 03/14/2005 06:06 PM

Another from New Scientist:

A super-dense memory chip that stores data in the form of nanoscale holes in a plastic film has made its public debut at the CeBIT electronics exhibition in Hanover, Germany.

[The] "Millipede" technology from IBM's Zurich lab promises very high capacity thanks to its use of holes just 10 nanometres wide. This means that a square chip measuring 2.4 centimetres on a side should be able to store 125 gigabytes, says the company, equivalent to 25 DVDs.

Apparently, some are questioning the need for a mechanical version of technology already available in other mediums.
