I've been using Zotero for a year and love it. The new version (2.0) is a godsend.

Nah, by his own words, he just multiplied the actual time by 4.

I take the amount of time I think it will take, double it and move it up a time unit.

So, if I think it will take two days, I estimate 4 weeks. If I think it will take a week, I estimate two months and so on.

Why not make the Internet itself illegal! Then they can slowly decriminalize individual ports and protocols with special identifications until they have complete control over everything.

Once that's done, nothing illegal will happen and all their citizens will be happy drones.

But it is not clear whether the internet causes depression or whether depressed people are drawn to it.

So, what we have here is an article with no actual basis for conclusions. Nothing to see here, move along

From the article... Fujitsu, which applied for an iPad trademark in 2003

Intel also used to try to keep the lower case i as their own trademark (as is i386, i486, etc.) before Apple launched the iPod.

Apple doesn't own the legal or moral rights to the lower case i prefix, they weren't even the first to use it.

After all, Nielsen reports ratings so that shows can sell more advertising. If the show you're watching doesn't have the same number of ads, then it's useless in terms of advertising sales as it's not apples to apples.

Nobody in advertising cares if 500,000,000 people watch a show if no ads were seen.

I'm still not going to ride a slime mold to work.

Every time. I had to watch Coraline with the glasses off and periodically put them on to see what I was missing in certain scenes.

I'm not bothering with Avatar, without the 3D, it'll just be another movie with animated effects and bad acting.

No but Apple is a trademark in the computer hardware arena. "Nexus-6" is a fictional android in one book and movie,

I have a strong suspicion that the developers would have little to no idea that Nexus (centerpoint) One (first) was anything but how they felt about a phone. I think the PKD estate is groping for money and this suit, if it materializes, will be laughed out of court.

Hollywood needs consumers to buy more digital content. DVD and Blu-ray revenues contribute significantly to Hollywood’s bottom line, but spending on those discs is dropping sharply. It declined 3.2 percent to $4 billion in the third quarter of last year. Digital sales were up nearly 20 percent in the quarter, but amounted to a relatively paltry $420 million.

Let's do some math, shall we?

3.2% of 4 billion == 128 million
20% of 420 million == a paltry 84 million.
Net difference? 44 million?

Jeez, looks like they got off easy. The economy collapses and their sales were down less than 1%. I feel sorry for them.

But have you downloaded an International Organization for Standardization?
