  • Supreme Court rules in favor of Google in Oracle Java fight

    Oracle didn't even have a case here. Not sure why they were still fighting. Also, I feel we need to move past the copyright regime, specially for software. All it does is limit the industry and does not make any sense. The amount of effort needed to create a piece of art is not the same as creating a "Slide to Unlock" button. It would have taken a maximum of a few days of effort, to design, code & test.

  • Judge backs Apple in BlueMail's App Store antitrust case

    This just seems like a very badly filed case and I donot think has any effect on Epic

    Blix, the developer of BlueMail, alleged that Apple had first infringed on its patents with "Sign in With Apple," - This is a ludicrous claim. Have they not heard of OAuth or Sign in with Facebook?


    Arguing that Apple having the power to restrict competition is not evidence that it did so, Judge Stark also said that Blix's own claims undermined its case. Reportedly, Blix had said in its filings that it had achieved success on multiple platforms and was on sale for five years before being on the App Store. Judge Stark said this demonstrated that the App Store is not essential to BlueMail's success. - Blix really needs a better lawyer. This is just shooting yourself in the foot. 


    Not all of BlueMail's claims were dismissed. However, Judge Stark declined to rule on them, instead directing Blix and Apple to confer. The two companies are now required to inform the court whether the remaining claims will be filed. Previously, Blix co-founder Ben Volach said that he believed the slow court process worked in Apple's favor. Blix was looking to recruit other developers to mount a class-action suit against Apple. - Was he representing himself, coz it sure sounds like it

  • East Japan Railway developing vacuum to collect earphones dropped on tracks

    The AirPods while being amazing earphones have a really bad fit, and stay snug in my ear for no more than 30 seconds. Apple really needs to fix this. I sold mine and refuse to buy any more until this is fixed. 

    Obviously I am not an outlier and my experience is quite common. 

    That being said the Sony Wireless buds work great and have replaced the AirPods for me
