The Colour Purple (pantone 2685C)
Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, October 01 2012 @ 01:41 PM EDT
Colours are "capable of being signs", so sayeth Judge Colin Birss QC,
as reported in tonight's Evening Standard. Cadbury won vs Nestle and now
"owns" the colour.

Daft, just daft.

Looks like it's been reported on several websites too.

Sorry, Tim Cook, apology not accepted

Apple's CEO is "extremely sorry" about the "frustration" the
company's homegrown maps app "has caused our customers". Sorry isn't
good enough because it's directed at the wrong place. Apple replaced Google Maps
in the newest version of iOS on September 19, and even Cook admits "we fell
short on this commitment" to "make world-class products that deliver
the best experience possible to our customers". Simply stated: Apple Maps
app sucks, but he apologizes about the wrong thing.

Google Passes Microsoft’s Market Value as PC Loses to Web
Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, October 01 2012 @ 02:39 PM EDT
Google rose 0.7 percent to $759.98 at 11:13 a.m. in New York, for a market capitalization of about $249.2 billion. Microsoft, the world’s biggest software maker, fell 0.3 percent to $29.67, about a $248.7 billion valuation.

[...]

Only Apple Inc. (AAPL), the world’s most valuable company at $632.9 billion, tops Google among technology businesses. Apple passed Microsoft in 2010 on rising sales of iPhones and iPads -- devices that helped usher in a new era of computing that’s less reliant on PCs.

Ultrabooks fail to catch on
Authored by: Gringo_ on Monday, October 01 2012 @ 04:23 PM EDT

Many will remember Steve Bullmer criticizing the PC developers for not having a product like the MacAir, and challenging them to do better. The result was the ultrabooks, the last Great Hope to take back some ground from Apple. Now it seems they are not selling as hoped .
