And one of the best subheads ever:

Apple fails to get US ‘App Store’ trademark injunction

Judge backs Amazon against fruitbite cargo cult

“Fruitbite cargo cult,” indeed.

A snippet form the story:

This claim was rather undermined by Apple’s own Steve Jobs, who called Apple’s app store: “the easiest-to-use largest app store in the world, preloaded on every iPhone”: a claim which suggests that there are other app stores and that people understand what that phrase means.

In other news, Apple is reported to be mulling plans to trademark every entry in the OED because words are used in iGadget menus.

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
