As I've mentioned before, there's a long standing problem with iPhones and iPod seriously overheating. And according to various reports, Apple has been covering up problems, including trying to block reporters from getting information on the extent of the issue. And now the pressure on Apple increases as the European Commission starts examining the safety of iPhones and iPods.
HP released its 2009 Q3 results yesterday. The numbers show some continuing trends that show how much the company is changing its traditional business model.
Software and warranties go together like water and oil: Read the license for any application and you're bound to find wording that virtually eliminates any legal responsibility that the vendor might have toward the customer. But that may be changing in a big way through a legal backdoor if Mark Radcliffe is right. According to the software licensing expert and partner with global law firm DLA Piper, a report from the influential American Law Institute (ALI) could convince judges that a number of practices which are virtually unheard of in the software industry are, in fact, settled case law and standard practice.
RealNetworks is kept from selling its DVD copying software; On2 shareholders say Google offer is too low; Nokia gets a preliminary patent win over InterDigital; Psystar and Apple back at it; and another class action suit for Apple and AT&T.
In a move that is the poster child for about-time tactics, Sony is introducing a $299 PlayStation 3 model, finally coming out with something that can compete in price with Microsoft's Xbox 360. The new price takes effect today for the model with the 80GB hard drive, though in about a month that price will get a PS3 with a 120GB hard drive.

A lot has been made (including by me) about the suit Microsoft lost to i4i over a patent covering use of XML to create customized templates in Word. Opinions have largely fallen into two camps: those who, like me, believe that i4i is a legitimate software vendor that Microsoft jobbed out of its mark...
Suggesting that Steve Jobs leave his position at Apple is enough to rouse the wrath of the faithful, even though he was kicked out of the company once before. But no matter what good he may have done the company since his return, recently emerging behavior makes it clear that it is time for Jobs to find his fourth act after Apple, NeXT, and Pixar so he stops endangering the business that he built.
Apparently I haven't been the only one considering what the real state of the so-called link economy might be. Consultant and blogger Jeff Jarvis thinks that Arnon Mishkin's post about fallacies in the theory of the link economy is riddled with problems itself. I would agree with him somewhat, but find that Jarvis and Mishkin both suffer from a common malady, as do, I find, the "old" versus "new" camps when it comes to business on the Internet: an over investment in an existing point of view.
I've certainly been none too easy on the Associated Press's apparent intent on charging people for quoting as few as five words -- and the organization's refusal to discuss the topic as it's "done" talking. Makes me think of certain White House administrations. However, absurdities and legal considerations aside, there is a basic reality of the web that has been making the AP and many other media companies go completely nuts. It's that the assumptions of how the business of the link economy work are badly flawed.
Putting together the Microsoft-Nokia alliance announced last week with Gartner's new figures on the smartphone market, and you would think the entire device world revolves around Nokia's focus on keeping runner-up Research in Motion at bay. And at first glance, you'd be right. The alliance does a...
Netflix, Redbox (part of Coinstar), and Blockbuster recently have been at it tooth and nail, working to lock in video rental customers while getting into downloading, all the time trying to stay into business. And in the process, all three are reenacting an old business scenario: try to undercut each other, even if you take a loss, until you get rid of the competitors. And that isn't easy on any of them. For today, though, let's look at Netflix.
Although a number of companies, including Sony, have been in the e-book reader business for a while, Amazon really seems to have taken the category by storm, at least in terms of buzz, even though Sony has been moving a fair number of units -- witness the Forrester report that estimated 600,000 read...
It's been a tough few months for Twitter and its users, as the social network service has been downed by several outages in recent weeks, dismissed as irrelevant by David Letterman and been used as the basis for a lawsuit by a landlord. But the biggest danger facing Twitter, other than the scale ...
Contrary to several reports, i4i's patent suit against Microsoft's infringing use of "custom XML" won't affect the Open Document format. The patent that i4i is protecting with its suit is a process for separating content and meta-data in different silos â€" something that Microsoft does with it...
