Cable television isn't going to increase your earning potential unless you happen to fancy yourself the next Cake Boss.

There, fixed it for you.... No recipes -- no real, consistent discussion of techniques -- just cake porn. Bakers learn to bake by baking.

36-Hour Lemmings Port Gets Sony Cease and Desist 268

Posted by Soulskill on Wednesday June 30, 2010 @03:33AM from the found-a-cliff-real-quick dept.

Zerocool3001 writes "The recently featured 36-hour port of the original Palm version of Lemmings to the iPhone and Palm Pre has received a cease and desist letter from Sony. Only one day after submitting the app for approval on the two app stores, the developer has put up a post stating that he 'did this as a tribute to the game — we can only hope that Sony actually does a conversion for platforms like iPhone and Palm Pre in the near future.' The text of the cease and desist letter is available from the developer's website."

A Finnish court ruling probably doesn't apply in the US.

SCOTUS has in the recent past cited decisions from international courts in their own decisions and dissents (with some controversy). A quick google search turned up this one - http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=700176. But, as a practical matter, Finnish court rulings don't have much weight in the US.

Lenovo is the world's third-largest PC manufacturer, behind U.S.-based Hewlett Packard Inc. and No. 2 Dell. Who knew that Lenovo was so huge, and that it's so close to troubled Dell and wobbly HP? The "developing nations" computer wars are gonna make the US computer market seem polite and nerdly in comparison. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070803/ap_on_hi_te/ch ina_lenovo_cheap_pc"
