I believe Microsoft's going to win this one. From the article:

However, a trademark application for the name was not filed until May - when rumours about Microsoft's new product had already spread widely across the internet.

Microsoft, meanwhile, filed its own trademark applications for the name in March - for a variety of uses, including search engine software, interface software, advertising, telecoms and for "providing a website and website links to geographic information, map images and trip routing".

There's a New York Times article that discusses the conflict of interest. Of particular interest is this quote:

“Hollywood needs a toll collector,” said Todd Dagres of the venture capital firm Spark Capital, and “Comcast can play the part because online video will erode traditional cable.”

Hulu's not going anywhere. Instead, it will probably be relegated to second-tier content. The content providers will charge for the new stuff and continue to file DMCA notices if content ends up elsewhere. They'll throw the people a bone, charge for the meat, and sue the pants off the vegetarians. Sounds like a Murdochian utopia.

The Supreme Court ruled that thermal devices require a warrant in Kyllo v. United States. I'm sure this radar system will follow precedent.

The USS Cod is docked next to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. I went there this summer and was amazed by how small the living quarters were. Apparently the best bunks were above the torpedo tubes in the bow of the submarine because they're furthest away from the diesel engine. Bunks elsewhere were stacked three high about a foot apart and only wide enough for your shoulders. Cramped!

Plus they can charge for their proprietary format! From their store:

Hey, it worked on me. I'm trying to figure out what word the summary writer was trying to imply. Firetruck maybe?

Enter stage left, swinging on vine.

Nope. That would only work if he said "shut the f.*uck up".

Exit stage right, swinging on vine.

Small town, not much to do in the evenin'.

Not to go off on too far a tangent, but Braid's rewind was not just an "oops, let me retry" button like Sands of Time's was. In the GP's example, some monsters and platforms were immune to rewinding. This led to interesting puzzles where you would rewind to get a platform in place for a rewind-immune monster to walk on.

Don't get me wrong. Sands of Time is a good game. It's just that Braid was one of the best games I've played in a long time. Please give it a try, you might like it.

I get the impression that they set the two "cameras" farther apart than a typical pair of eyes. It creates an exaggerated sense of depth that you can't usually experience without a pair of binoculars.

We'll call it the iHindenburg!

Yes, this is a weakness. Hopefully multiple alphabet soup agencies from different countries will get this idea and end up competing with each other. An arms race of diminishing returns to get a bigger chunk of the Tor network just means we'll have plenty of free Tor bandwidth on the gov't dime.

Protip: You can edit the Tor config or source code to pick geographically diverse nodes yourself.

Apologies about the "hacker" faux pas.

Anyway, you might be right about the cracker coming back with a honeypot. I wish I was a fly on the cracker's wall so I could see how this played out.

As far as gov't grey-hats go, there is definitely a turf war between agencies. Hell, even the Air Force wants a piece of the pie. God help us all!

This paragraph from TFA is telling:

Seems like the FBI exploits browser vulnerabilities a la the Pwn2Own contest in order to deliver CIPAV, but CIPAV itself might not run in linux. I suspect that the FBI will have written a linux-compatible CIPAV after the quoted incident. Probably a bash or perl script so they don't have to worry about different architectures.

On a side note, there was probably some good porn on that page for the hacker to load it 30 times.

I fell for it, too. I bet there isn't one. ;)

Ditto! Achievement unlocked!
