RIAA Has to Disclose Attorneys Fees In Foster case

Submitted by
NewYorkCountryLawyer
NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "The RIAA has been ordered to turn over its attorneys' billing records by March 26, 2007, in Capitol v. Foster in Oklahoma. The 4- page decision and order, issued in connection with the determination of the reasonableness of Ms. Foster's attorneys fees, requires the RIAA to produce the attorneys' time sheets, billing statements, billing records, and costs and expense records. The Court reviewed authorities holding that an opponent's attorneys fees are a relevant factor in determining the reasonableness of attorneys fees, quoting a United States Supreme Court case which held that "a party cannot litigate tenaciously and then be heard to complain about the time necessarily spent by his opponent in response" (footnote 11 to City of Riverside v. Rivera)."

Vast stores of water ice found on Mars

Submitted by gwyatt1999
gwyatt1999 writes "Enough ice found on the south pole icecap of Mars it could cover the surface of the planet under 30 ft. of water. Surf's up on the red planet? "The radar data indicate that the deposit, larger than Texas in area, is more than 2.3 miles (3.7 kilometers) thick in places, and that the material consists of nearly pure water ice with only a small component of dust.""

I get it. Get a Mac, get hot women around you no matter what you do in life?

Oh wait no. I need to make crap music with turntables and a mac, take photos all day, write dime a dozen poems, or be a math major?
Sorry dude. Those people were cookie cutter too at my university, mac users or not.

Cisco and Apple call iPhone truce

Submitted by Rob
Rob writes "Cisco Systems has called its legal attack dogs off Apple, saying that the two companies have agreed that they can both use the iPhone brand to market their telephones. The deal includes a vague agreement to "explore opportunities for interoperability in the areas of security, and consumer and enterprise communications". The settlement is an obvious boon to Apple, which was hoping to leverage its successful iPod brand to sell its take on "iPhones", which will play music and video and provide internet access as well as making calls. A potentially ugly lawsuit has been avoided. It's also quite useful to Cisco, which gets to associate its distinctly less sexy devices with what may turn out to be a successful Apple branding campaign."

Amazing, so not only will European customers pay more for the ps3 exchange wise, they will also get an inferior model."

Canadian Border Tightens

Submitted by blu3 b0y
blu3 b0y writes "The San Francisco Chronicle is reporting that new post-9/11 information sharing agreements have made it as easy for a Canadian border officer to know the full criminal records of US citizens as it is for their local police. As a result, Canadian officials are turning away American visitors for ancient minor convictions, including 30-year-old shoplifting and pot possession convictions. Officials claim it's always been illegal to enter Canada with such convictions without getting special dispensation, they just had no good way of knowing about them until recent security agreements allowed access. One attorney speculates it's not long before this information will be shared with other countries as well, causing immigration hassles worldwide."
