Hi Frank,
Is UDP IP?
Jobs prezo shows the perils of 'Open Architecture', and endless new devices to make work with the 'Open Architecture.'
When will Sprint have an iPhone working via the Bluetooth interface on Sprint cellphones?
No tools can capture the culture of Web sites.
From WSJ:
Cisco also disclosed that it had been asking Apple, in exchange for using the name, to help Cisco's product work together with Apple's. Mark Chandler, Cisco's general counsel, summed up its account of what happened in a blog posting Wednesday night: "What were the issues at the table that kept us from an agreement? Was it money? No. Was it a royalty on every Apple phone? No. Was it an exchange for Cisco products or services? No.
"Fundamentally we wanted an open approach. We hoped our products could interoperate in the future."
"There is no amount of money that is going to be worth more than to have the interoperability," argued Mr. Masters, who is not involved in the case.
Other lawyers observing the battle predict Apple will try to show Cisco didn't adequately use or protect the iPhone trademark.

But Nate Garhart, another intellectual-property lawyer at Coblentz Patch Duffy & Bass LLP, questioned whether Apple can show its phones wouldn't be confused with Cisco's, a key issue in trademark law.
Cisco is likely to try to persuade a judge to issue a preliminary injunction blocking Apple's use of the trademark while the merits of the case are decided, which could be difficult, Mr. Andris said. Yet pressure on Apple to resolve the matter could increase by spring, when it needs to build phones in advance of kicking off sales in June, Mr. Masters added.
