The Morning Reboot:
- Cisco is suing Apple over the rights to the iPhone trademark. Apple was reportedly in talks with Cisco about the rights to the name, but never formally signed off on a deal so Cisco has filed a lawsuit.
- Mozilla released some semi-official plans for Firefox 3. The list of features in the linked article are broken into three categories, “mandatory,” “desirable” and “nice to have.” One of the most intriguing things on the list is, “save web pages as PDF files, integrated with history.” Hmm. The new target release for Firefox 3 is sometime in Q3 of this year.
- Last year I did an article on ReputationDefender and the main thing everyone (myself included) wanted to know was how ReputationDefender went about protecting your online reputation. While company was always a bit cagey about their methods, now there's an example available. The Consumerist received a letter (possibly NSFW) from ReputationDefender requesting that a post be removed. The Consumerist has refused to comply with the request and they've posted a copy of the email they received, which is surprisingly benign.
- Greg Kroah-Hartman, author of O'Reilly's Linux Kernel in a Nutshell, has made the book available for free in a variety of formats. Kroah-Hartman writes on the site: “The more people that try this out, and realize that there is not any real magic behind the whole Linux kernel process, the more people will be willing to jump in and help out in making the kernel the best that it can be.”
