Not a big surprise as both sides did not have a lot to gain through litagation. Looks like both parties go home happy, which is what law should be about: coming to an agreement both sides can deal with.

    Today Forbes reports something unthinkable, something no one saw coming. Something so big, one

    picked up P.A. Semi for $278 million. P.A Semi was founded in 2003 by Dan Dobberpuhl. Dobberpuhl was
    the lead designer for the StrongARM processor which became Intel's XScale when DEC Corporation

    who cry like babies whenever another company such as Microsoft does something they feel is

    updates for the phone ever or it will get junked and not be able to be repeaired by Apple or their

  5. Create The Beautiful Reflections Used By Apple.com

    Ok, if you have ever browsed apple.com, you see they have great reflections to show off their
    hardware/software/etc. In this tutorial I will show you all how to make a great reflection. Step
    one: Workspace First you need to find what you are reflecting, and be sure that it is already
    cut out (no background). This works especially well with a screenshot of their program iTunes, so
    that is what I will demonstrate with. Now, create a new file that is able to support double the

  7. Alter Ego
    Apple IIe (0)
    I was looking around for the old Apple IIe games (Oregon Trail, Number Munchers, etc...) and
    stumbled upon a little gem pre-dating "The Sims" called "Alter Ego." This game is text-based (with
    some graphics) basically asking a series of "what would you do?" questions and keeping track of your
    personality traits. It seems boring at first, but after awhile, you sort of get into it more. If you
    like the Sims, this game might interest you. You can start out at any time period in your life,
    (Birth, Childhood, Adolescence, Early Adult, Middle Age, Old Age) but you get the mos....

    free calls! (5)
    Well, I was at the apple store yesterday, and I decided to try out the new apple iPhone, which has
    been the talk of the town ever since it first came out. Then I wondered how the call quality was, so
    I called a US number from it, and it worked! Free calls to the US from within the Apple store!
    I'm not sure if it's intentional that calls were allowed to be made, but hey, it still was
    free. I tried a foreign number with it too, but I got no reply from the person whom I was calling.
    I'm not sure if it's because calls aren't alllowed from the Apple stor....

  10. Cisco Vs. Apple
    Your everyday trademark infringement claim! (11)
    I'm sure by now everyone has heard of the Cisco Systems, Inc. vs. Apple Computer, Inc. for
    trademark infringement of "iPhone". This is a really childish case & waste of money, IMO. I believe
    it was said on the news that Cisco would have probably let Apple use the trademark had they asked.
    You'd think a company as old as Apple would have a legal department with some competence in it.
    It was Apple's responsibility to check trademarks before naming the product. I explained
    this case to someone like in a way like this: If I go and create a coffee brand calle....

    This notification was about their release of a very extensive all-out coverage of Apple's

    Rumors are running rampant lately and today we hear that Apple may be evaluating a Palm purchase.
    This rumor comes about after two of Palms biggest investors are calling for the company to be sold.
    There are a few connections that link Palm and Apple—some more concrete than others. They are
    located close to each other, some of the early Palm employees are previous Apple employees and Jobs
    has already taken a stab at buying the company back in the 90s. Treo Newton 800p nanoite? Let’s hope

    Domain names are by the Internet Corporation For Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN:

    register a domain, your name, home address and telephone number can be accessed by anyone on the
    web, unless you protect it through a proxy, showing the proxyhost's information. Most people use
    this to protect their personal information, but those with bad intentions do so to spam. But my
