  on TSA Not Sure If It Groped Man Before Flight, Demands To Grope Him After Flight Is Over
  Once he gets off the plane, he is still in a "secured" area and could potentially get on another plane without having been searched (if he really wasn't searched before his flight).
  
  At least that's the plausible explanation TSA could have given him instead of the no answers.

  on VCs Successfully Fund Lawsuit Against Best Buy After It Completely Screws Over Startup
  "gave the lawyers hundreds of thousands of dollars "
  and won $27 million.
  
  I would guess that they anticipated an award at least in the millions in which case this could have simply been a good business decision instead of the "right thing to do".

  on Apple Gets Design Patent On... Page Turning
  Looks like they're taking the IBM approach from the 80's? of seeing who can get the most ridiculous patent approved.

  on Carreon Admits His Original Threat Letter Was A Mistake, But Keeps On Digging Anyway
  At what point do you start to think he might just be doing most of this for the publicity?

  on The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Would Like To Know What You Think Of Them (Sorta)
  There's plenty of open ended questions or questions with "other" as an option that you can fill in an answer. Only the 1 ranking question was loaded.

  on May The Dolphin Be Unflogged: Paskistani Government Censors Texting
  That list was circulated in 2005 as the list of words/phrases the NFL doesn't allow on custom jerseys. Hence "neon deon" and "he hate me" being on it.

  Or did Pakistan just copy the nfl's list as their starting point?

  on Could Google's Motorola Buy To Fend Off Microsoft... Actually Drive More Business To Microsoft?
  Doesn't Microsoft make more (total) money from Android simply because there is so many more phones? I doubt they really make more money per phone.

  on Amazon Routes Around Apple With HTML 5 Kindle App
  "and now Amazon has made a big splash by releasing its Kindle app as an HTML 5 web app rather than through Apple's app store. "
  
  They didn't release this instead of using the app store. It is an alternate app. They already have a Kindle app in the app store.

  on Oops: Dropbox Left All User Accounts Wide Open For Four Hours This Weekend
  Sounds like they need a gmail type feature that shows what IP's accessed your account and when so people can tell if they were affected.

  It would be a better story if they broke down the guys door at 6am in the evening.

  on How Adobe Drives Infringement Of Its Products Through Incompatibility
  All kinds of 3D Modeling programs (Solidworks, Autodesk Inventor, etc) do this as well. Part of the reason may be forced obsolescence, but there are some valid reasons for it.

  on Judge Not Impressed By Reverse Class Action Attempt In Mass P2P File Sharing Case
  If they want to call it a class action lawsuit, I hope the result are about the same. Something along the lines of a $10 "reverse" gift certificate that you promise to buy services from that company and may or may not ever use.

  on Another Attempt To Make TSA Searches Open To Sex Offender Charges
  "But labeling a TSA agent a sex offender for doing what the TSA requires seems like a pretty extreme response. "
  
  I don't know if it is necessarily extreme. I bet you would label any number of German's as murderers for just doing what their government told them to in the early 40's.

  on Verizon Tries To Jump The Legal Line In Challenging FCC's Weak Net Neutrality Rules
  They were going to fight any rules that were put in place just to shift what the perceived "center ground" is.
  
  It seems like a situation where I say you should get paid $10 and you think you should get $100. The compromise would be somewhere around $55. I can only go as low as $0 because I can't make you pay me for you doing the work, but you can go as high as you want. If you say you should get $1000, the middle is around $500 and if you settle for $200 it looks like a compromise but is still way above the $55 you should have gotten.

  on End Result Of HADOPI? Higher ISP Fees
  Seeing how ISP's are just as corrupt and always looking for an excuse to raise prices, they could just be using HADOPI as one of those reasons whether it is really a significant cost to them or not.

  on Does WiFi Make Trees Sick?
  Placebo effect. Same reason a plain sugar pill "cures" headaches, arthritis, or just about anything else in some people who think they are getting an actual drug.

  on Houston Votes To Turn Off Red Light Cameras; City Officials Trying To Figure Out How To Cancel Contract
  I thought that was amusing too how it became all about the money once people voted to get rid of the camera's.
