A part of this is foolishness. You can never trust a corp that has been litigious over its brand with ownership of your project or its hosting. Everything should have been copied elsewhere to a domain or hosted url with no TMs, and the old site should have been slowly deprecated and forked.

Anytime you need hot pumping lights and dance music to get 'journalists' interested in tech, you've already proved that CES is a waste.

Yes it's called the NSA

It seems that criminals who have been convicted of rape, burglary, or fraud are just the type of geek that Silicon Valley has been avoiding. It used to be cool 20 years ago and you could get away with it as long as you proved your pathological profile complimented your crafting genius. Now it just pisses the yuppie geeks off.
