Why they insist on hermetically sealing them, though, that is baffling to me.

I believe it is that way for as a theft deterrent. The harder it is to open the harder it is to open in the aisle in the store and not get caught.

There are replacements for clamshells that do an even better job of this though and without the bodily injury that occurs from people trying to open stubborn clamshells.

Actually, it's easier to steal. You use a razor blade to cut open the package, and take out what's in it. What is really nice is places think that because it's a bitch to open, and has the tags on the inside that set off the detectors, so they don't pay attention to people as much. But a few quick swipes with a razor blade, while you pretend to be reading whats on it, and boom, you got the item in your hand.

Do not ask me how I know this exactly, it wasn't me, no matter what the video camera shows.

Although Technicolor signed its first licensing deal in the 1950s, de Russe [executive vice-president of intellectual property at Technicolor] said, 'it feels like the rest of the world has just woken up to why patents are interesting.' Patent licensing is the most profitable business of the company."

Dude has it wrong. Being a Patent Lawyer is the most Profitable Business.

He sends DMCA notices, then he gets threated to be sued over crap and he gets scared?

Why the fuck did he sent the DMCA notices to begin with, if he wasn't prepared to stand his ground? All he's doing is giving this other person ammo and basicly permission to be a cunt with other peoples properties.

Candice Shwagger is a bully, you stand up to bullies.

Ya, bitch, sue me, stupid cunt.

Insert generic "Microsoft sucks" comment.

Seriously guys?

Regardless of whether so.cl succeeds or fails, by having another "giant" enter the social networking arena will drive up innovation.

...

Really? Seems to me it's just another example of MS trying to get on a bandwagon once again, since they are always late to the party. And having searches shared with friends isn't innovation, it's fucking creepy.
