I hate to break it but any company with a trademark in the US will have registration blocking. (Note: I work for a registrar). So during the Sunrise Phase (open only to trademark holders) which comes before the General Availability phase, all those corporate and brand names will be taken...

Actually Star Trek didn't air until the 1966 season, as the original pilot "The Cage" didn't air until 1988. So technically the 50th Anniversary is going to be in 2016, which culminates with the release of the new Star Trek 3.

And there is some sort of correlation there?

"SQUIRREL?!"

Your ISP doesn't have to have any sort of special deal with Netflix to get HD, you just need the bandwidth which anything over 5mbit can handle. Siverlight is also not Netflix, that is Microsoft. It sounds like the issues are on you're end, I have been doing streaming via Netflix for years...

Personally I wish they would stop using the term hashtag for the # symbol. Prior to Twitter the only place that referred to the # as a hash is the UK and Ireland. Everywhere else referred to the # as the Pound Symbol. And I have no clue why Twitter went with "hashtag" and not "pound" since it is...

As if 500k worth of voting stock really has no real bearing when shareholder votes come up, that's a drop in the hat compared to most shareholders. Heck, Larry Page and Sergey Brin could buy out their stock with petty cash. And really what do bunch of olde farts want with voter stock, like...

Also to add, it's just funny how this guy waited till now to sue, and not back in 2006/07 when the game was being developed and first released. When the franchise is at its peak.

Really? So shitty that it spawned 4 additional games (AC3 is out later this year) on the major platforms and 4 games on handhelds. One of the few games that has a very unique and developed plotline (unlike ::cough:: ME3). Is not a straight up FPS, that actually has goals and a very good...

Well the old adage 'You can't walk and chew bubblegum at the same time", should be changed to 'You can't walk and text at the same time'. Cause obviously you can chew gum and walk at the same time.

This is lame... as a buyer and seller on Ebay I do not feel the seller has any right to know what a buyers maximum willing to pay amount. It's like walking into a car dealership, telling the dealer I am willing to pay $20k for a car. Then the dealer pulling up a car with a sticker price of $15k...

Actually you are wrong there... Apple Records and Apple Computers have been fighting in court since the 80's over the Apple name... it wasn't until recently they worked out a deal, which was basically a trade, give use the Apple name, and we will put your music on iTunes (The Beatles), and we...

I'll have to side with Hasbro on this one... Asus is using Transformer AND Prime in conjuction with each other in the same product. I can see how this is and issue. Everyone so far is making comments about companies using Prime or Transformer (or even Optimus) as the signal name for a...

So where are the photos taken by this camera? all I have seen are CGI approximations.

First to those that say that with icebergs and the like that have ice above the water level, this is due to buoyancy of the ice due to trapped gases, it actually has little effect on the displacement. A pound of ice is a pound of ice, weather it floats or not. Regardless when the ice melts the...

Well, that is because water displaces the same amount weather it is frozen or liquid. So even if the entire arctic (north pole, which has no land mass under it) and the glacier parts of the antarctic that have no land mass under it, were to melt, there would be no rise in sea level, since...

Honestly, a moving car is supposed to stop, so you can take a picture? I call fail on the photographer, for a) Not being observant enough to see oncoming traffic and taking the picture fast enough, before the car came into frame. b) Waiting until the car passes.

Yea, in California certain items get taxed at full retail and not the sale price (i.g. Cellphones). It's a bloody ripoff. Check your next sales receipt on a product you bought at discount.

FAIL! Well you should have let those videos finish buffering, before you posted, as they show nothing like this video, one is a prank, once is just suspending the water in the cup upside down using a card card, and the last is a bet trick using a play on words, ' up' 'side' 'down' without...

Yeah, that's the way to do it... Sue companies for possible infringements, in order to get your own company out of financial insolvency, instead of actually trying to make your company profitable via what ever product and/or services you offer. I think the company should look into their...

If you don't believe it.... http://www.motorola.com/Consumers/US-EN/Consumer-Product-and-Services/Mobile-Phones/Motorola-DROID-US-EN Check the bottom of the page... Google, Google Search, Google Maps, Gmail, Google Latitude, Google Talk, YouTube, Google Quick Search Box, Android, and...

Well I have to side with Lucas on this one... 'Jedi™' is his creation, and anything using that term his under his trademark. Just like he owns 'Droid™', and if you look closely to any Droid phone product's fine print, there is a statement to the fact that 'Droid™' is a Lucasfilm™ trademark...

Meanwhile, letting everyone become followers, and letting all know the state of relations between us and Russia. We would know the the bombs are dropping before the military does.

Watch the full video... of the reporter in front of the roadway in front of the zoo. I love the low-rider that passes through the video frame, and rev's his engine.

Actually Godaddy is out of Arizona. And domains do not end at state lines. Nor are the policed at the state level. It's actually handled at the Federal level, and ICCAN which operates at the federal level and has power over registars like Google, CAN rebuke the purchase and return the domain to...

Ignorance that there was a camera is no excuse to speed. That is like saying, "Oh, I didn't see that cop behind that sign, so I didn't slow down to the posted speed limit, so I shouldn't get a ticket."

Can't believe he is upset over a $90 speeding ticket. That is cheap. In California your average speeding ticket is well over $200. Heck running a red light and getting nailed by a camera can be over $500 (happened to my wife).

If you do not like Facebook's privacy policies or any of their policies for that matter then don't use Facebook. You are not forced to use it, you don't pay to use it. There is nothing new here, just about every product or service out there has a policy in place that they will use your...

Um actually wouldn't the first instance of 11/11/11 be November 11th, of the year 11? Thought that was pretty obvious. We had 1900 years or 9 instances of 11/11/11 prior to 1911 you know. well technically more before, a lot more, but we count down in reverse for those years. so technically there...

This is why I invested im a CIS (Continuous Ink System) for my printer. Easy to refill which is like 2x a year and I do heavy duty printing, I pay less than $30 for 600ml of ink (6 colors x 100ml) which is approx 36-40 cartridges worth of ink. I save myself well over $1000 a year in ink.

Doesn't sound like they threw in the towel to me... It's more like Psystar got exactly what they wanted, they can still sell the machines they build, they can still sell the OS, only the customer has to do the actual install of the OS. Doesn't mean they can't provide support after the...

Also forgot to note Ubuntu is built on a LINUX kernel... FreeBSD is built on a it's own Kernel that is UNIX-like. Which makes FreeBSD neither LINUX nor UNIX it's not even a derivative.

Actually it would be the bastard child of FreeBSD and OpenSTEP. Ubuntu would be like OSX's father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate, which would make it nothing.(Which BTW Ubuntu is newer than OSX by several years so I don't know how OSX could be a child of it). And Apple's Mac...

Ok, this is such frivolous lawsuit it's not even funny. Even though I can careless about sony, this is just stupid. It's like that guy that went around and suit every restaurant he could cause the sink was to high for wheel chair bound people. He had done it so many times the courts finally...

Just a little history lesson... The reason for the Windows 2.0 mention and not 3.11, was because with the release of 2.0, Apple sued MS and HP over the look and feel of the OS being a copy of the Mac OS, a suit Apple lost, and began the huge rivalry. Note: MS had licensed some aspects of the...

First, it's a civil case not a criminal case. Second, they both have plenty of money to pay lawyers and court costs. Third, its in Australia. So I don't know why the complaint of the use of tax payer dollars.

[Update: folks at CollectSpace are saying this article is a hoax. I have no evidence either way, which is why I wrote this post using the "allegedly" format. Hopefully more evidence one way or another will come out soon.] [Update 2: According to Bob Jacobs, NASA Deputy Assistant Administrator...

Yeah making a heatsink cover look like a formula 1 race car is going to make it perform more. I call BS, if anything its going to perform worse than if there was no cover at all. Hey can I get anymore performance if I slap a R-Type or GT-R sticker on it as well?

What is really odd who just pays out right cash for a business that includes property without going through proper channels. Shouldn't there be some lending institution involved, and things like escrow, property taxes and other local and state regulations? IRS reporting etc. He deserves to...

I read about this somewhere....
