Lawsuits, lawsuits, lawsuits. The reboot just likes to wear a suit:
- Microsoft claims Linux infringes on MS intellectual property. CEO Steve Ballmer said “every Linux customer basically has an undisclosed balance-sheet liability.” Ballmer had gave no specifics, nor have any lawsuits been filed.
- According to ITWire, German security company, SecurStar, claims that “simply by sending an invisible and unnoticeable SMS message to a particular cellphone, spying on cell phone users has become child's play.” The technique uses the SMS delivered trojan horse to make every call from the victimized phone a 3-way call.
- The EFF reports that movie studios are suing to stop the loading of DVDs onto iPods. The suit targets Load N' Go Video, a DVD to iPod transfer service.
- The BBC has announced it will be paying citizen reporters for their cellphone and camera footage. Now you too can discover just how little journalists actually make. [via Micro Persuasion]
