In another job, I usually sent important emails to my boss who then rewrote them to make them more palatable for the wide public. In the end, knowing…

  • Apple 1 – Apple 1

    So selling music online does not violate a deal which “forbade Apple [Computer] from distributing music on physical media such as CDs or cassette tapes”.

  • BellSouth vs. Google – Round 1

    What about the customers? Companies all too often play chicken. It is the consumers who get screwed.
