just sluttier

Exactly. This "study" only shows that though iPhones are at less risk for viruses, their users are at a greater risk.

It's all about the hits

You had to include "iPhone" in the title to get hits for the article, thought the relevance of the article has little to do with the device. That's just fucking pathetic.

Google countersues in Android Specht-spat

Google was denied the trademarked name but chose to use it anyway.

"The case rests on whether Specht was still using the name "Android Data", a name he trademarked in 2002, by the time Google filed the term "Android" in 2007. Google's application was rejected by the US Patent & Trademark Office on the grounds that it was too similar to Specht's filing, prompting two unsuccessful appeals by Google who went ahead and used the name anyway."

Um, Google was denied the trademarked name "on the grounds that it was too similar to Specht's filing" but chose to use it anyway. Sounds pretty cut and dry to me.

If I tried to trademark the name "Microsoft Computer Stuff" and was obviously denied but used the name anyway, what do you think would happen to my company?

Total is $1472, which is just south of $1500
