Google's Growing Love For the Mac 222
An anonymous reader writes "While browsing the 2007 Macworld speaker bios, I found an interesting Google+Mac piece of news. Looks like Google has appointed the famous Amit Singh in charge of their Mac Engineering (also confirmed on Singh's website). While Google generally seems to lag behind in Safari compatibility they have been offering some native Mac software. We earlier heard Google CEO Eric Schmidt's joining Apple's board of directors. Then following Microsoft MacBU's lead, Google started their own Mac Blog a few weeks earlier. Google's jobs website also lists several Mac openings. If Singh's technical expertise and history of OS X wizardry any indication, we can hope for some cool Mac software from Google. Also wondering if all this is just Google's response to Apple's market growth or maybe a more serious partnership is coming? ;-)"

In the spirit of the original article linked by our posting, trademarks are the least malicious sort of IP. I'm a law student, and I'm an avid member (as incompatible as those two seem, and as bad as that may sound). There may be much of IP that treads on the toes of innovation, but it's hard to fault a reputable and responsible business for trying to keep others from treading on their toes when by and large they contribute to the community.
A complete denial of any IP rights is like advocating anarchy--very attractive when you disagree with what a democracy decides (and we all know we've seen that recently), but ruinous in the long term. Accepting that there are some bounds of information usage necessary to promote "the progress of Science and useful Arts" isn't sacrilege to us, it's fundamental.

If Linux is catching up with Windows in 3-5, which is -- during the SAME 3-5 years -- catching up to Mac OS X..... Lets do the math!
