It's legal to bribe politicians in the U.S. The Supreme Court calls it free
speech. Money is speech. So, in the U.S., bribing politicians enjoys
constitutional protection. Is this true in any other country in the world?

Judge says Apple,
Motorola pursuing business strategy in court
The court said it declines
to "mop up a mess" of multiple claims and patents
April 11,
2013, 4:43 AM — A court in Florida said that Apple and Motorola Mobility have no
interest in quickly and efficiently resolving a patent infringement lawsuit, but
are instead using their litigations around the world as "a business strategy
that appears to have no end."
Referring to the "parties' obstreperous and
cantankerous conduct," Judge Robert N. Scola of the U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of Florida, described it as not a proper use of the
court.

| Clicky.
I've used Streetmap.co.uk for
years, and unlike Google, it provides Ordnance Survey-like detail and symbols,
as well as a wide choice of standard co-ordinate methods. In short, although I
love Google's use of photography, for actual mapping I much prefer
Streetmap.
It will be a real shame to stop using Streetmap now they've
jumped on this bandwagon.
It's also a shame that nobody in the article,
including Google's reps as quoted, questioned the accusation of rank
manipulation. Google normally denies any
such manipulation, and so far I tend to believe them - the SEO industry
notwithstanding.
