Apple Patents the "Wedge Shape"
Authored by: Anonymous on Saturday, June 09 2012 @ 02:12 AM EDT
Just when I was thinking Apple might get adult leadership now that Steve Jobs
has checked out.

Really -- the "wedge shape"? There's only about
seven-hundred-gazillion examples of prior art on that one.

Ought to go nice with their patent on "rectangular, with rounded
corners".

Tainted companies
Authored by: IMANAL_TOO on Saturday, June 09 2012 @ 08:11 AM EDT
nsomos suggested that all and any company producing a Linux distro is tainted forever for Microsoft. This is an interesting perspective. I recall that IBM said something along those lines in a very old quote here at Groklaw.

So, is there something such as tainted companies?

Apple vs Motoroala
Authored by: digger53 on Saturday, June 09 2012 @ 01:23 PM EDT
Case dismissed with prejudice by Judge Posner.

He indicates neither side made a case for damages. Sweet. Go home boys and girls and whine to your mommies

Blue eyes? You're all related.
Authored by: Anonymous on Saturday, June 09 2012 @ 02:10 PM EDT
Researchers in Denmark have found that every person with blue eyes descends from just one "founder," an ancestor whose genes mutated 6,000 to 10,000 years ago. Before then, everyone had brown eyes.

[...]

Blue eyes, though somewhat rare in the USA, are common in countries near the mutation epicenter, which previous researchers have pinpointed as probably somewhere in the Balkans or near the Black Sea.

In Estonia, 99% of people have blue eyes, Eiberg says. In Denmark 30 years ago, only 8% of the population had brown eyes, though through immigration, today that number is about 11%. In Germany, about 75% have blue eyes.
