benfrog writes "Google asked the court last night for a judgement that would invalidate at least part of the copyrights Oracle claims over Java APIs. "Google argued that the source code and object code for implementing Oracle's APIs are not derivative works of the copyrighted work as a whole. Further, Google said the alleged copying of Java code is 'de minimus,' or insignificant, and 'thus non-actionable.' Groklaw has copies of Google's brief as well as Oracle's response. The case could have a verdict as soon as next week."

The publisher of the info is a known troll, hasn't ever released anything, and has already been trounced by people that know this stuff. False alarm.

They are going to get rooted anyway,and also, Motorola is known for looooooooooong release cycles for patches so it will stay that way.

Also, Slashdot, I set this account to use the "classic" interface, why are you making me click buttons to see comments now?! I just want to see the page, not have to keep clicking "show more". This comment entry box is terrible too, the "Reply" button is too close to the box itself.

Seems like I'm not the only one. First I had to figure out how to show the full text for all the page, and now I have to browse the comments in a frame 80% of my browser because I'm stuck with a sidebar (that wont scroll, btw). This seriously sucks, I want my classic UI back!!! Also, wtf is the checkbox with no text!?

Detained at the border-> 0

An anonymous reader writes "I was detained last night by federal authorities at San Francisco International Airport for refusing to answer questions about why I had travelled outside the United States.

The end result is that, after waiting for about half an hour and refusing to answer further questions, I was released – because U.S. citizens who have produced proof of citizenship and a written customs declaration are not obligated to answer questions."

ISP threatened by Argentine Govt.-> 1

An anonymous reader writes "The argentine government has taken away the license of Argentina's biggest ISP. The cable company Fibertel is part of the Grupo Clarín, a media consortium critical of Mrs. Fernández administration. Out of the blue, over one million users found out last Thursday that they will have to find a new provider in 90 days."
