Lions and Tigers and Netbooks, Oh My!

Has anyone ever heard of Psion? They are a maker of rugged computing solutions are currently locked in a trademark battle with Intel over the use of the term "Netbook". I am not sure how to feel about this. I mean I want to respect the law here which says that after registration of a trademark and barring that you don't get out of the business of discontinue the product that you trademarked it can still be protected.  On the other hand Psion hasn't created a new netbook in many years and discontinued the last one they sold a few years back.  I guess read on and leave comments, it should be an interesting case to watch.

Here is news that facebook attempted to take over twitter, the micro-blogging service. Thank goodness, why would you need a text message alerting you to your friend changing their profile pick? I guess, maybe if you were an 11 year old girl...

Want to find a way to waste a good chunk of your life?  Ask this guy, I am sure he has some good ideas.

Back at Work

And again I thank the heavens for my job at VSEA.  I forget how much I actually enjoy my job when I take leave from it, I mean if I did not have to work I would not but coming in to work this morning after two weeks off was easier than I expected.  On to new news...

A new condition called Playstation Palmar Hidrandenitis is affecting some people in the Europe.  This condition causes

"...red, sore lumps on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet"

What a bunch of panty waists...Just to put it out there I have played games for hours on end and never suffered something like this.  Maybe these people should thinking about having a gaming towel to wipe their hands and feets off with...yes, a new product is born...It can also be used to stop the red ring of doom.

News from Sony that they have found yet another useless format to sink their teeth into, awesome. Blu-Spec CD's promise to be yet another sink hole for the company's diminishing revenue. Oh yeah it also turns out that they have made developing for the PS3 purposefully difficult for game designers...awesome.

No real news here, but it's nice to see the RIAA go after some one other than Ma Pickins in Tenessee for alledgely sharing "Hola Back Girl" on Limewire...

Lies and the lying liars that allegedly tell them with regards to the iPhone, come on Wired...what exactly is your editorial staff doing?
