Say you’re Brian Lam, out there on the slopes of Tahoe, snowboarding as your iPhone drops the biggest beats since the Propellerheads’ dropped Decksanddrumsandrockandroll. It sounds grand, but there’s a logistical problem: You’ve goggles, plus the earmuffs your mother knitted for you, plus your (definitely not white) earbuds, all connected to your head using different straps, levers and pulleys. Von Zipper combines them all into one easy system: the $20 Snow Muffs/H-Phones will attach to most ski goggles—but particularly those that Von Zipper by coincidence also sells, for $60 to $160.

I know our recent poll shows you guys hate MBA posts, but I just had to do this one. There’s something highly erotic about three hot and geeky girls fondling the latest gadget to hit the masses. Sure, I like Apple products as much as the other fanboy, but the MBA isn’t for me. Maybe […]

I know our recent poll shows you guys hate MBA posts, but I just had to do this one. There’s something highly erotic about three hot and geeky girls fondling the latest gadget to hit the masses. Sure, I like Apple products as much as the other fanboy, but the MBA isn’t for me. Maybe it’s the music that’s getting me all frisky, but this is hot. So hot that I need to go take a cold shower.

Recently, Microsoft recommended that Linux, or at least parts of it, infringed upon certain Microsoft patents. It hasn’t said specifically which ones, just that it thinks it happens.

Recently, Microsoft suggested that Linux, or at least parts of it, infringed upon certain Microsoft patents. It hasn’t said specifically which ones, just that it thinks it happens.

Linux Torvalds, the grandaddy of Linux, said in an interview with the Linux Foundation that he believes MS is speaking crap.

They’ve been sued for patents by other people, but I don’t think they’ve — not that I’ve gone through any massive amount of law cases — but I don’t think they’ve generally used patents as a weapon,” Torvalds stated. “But they’re perfectly happy to use anything at all as fear, uncertainty and doubt in the marketplace, and patents is just one thing where they state, ‘Hey, isn’t this convenient? We have the ability to use this as a PR force.’

He goes on to state that Microsoft, having had nothing but trouble in the courts due to much of its monopolist bent, would be ill-advised to go after any competition with the patent defense.

I think that most Microsoft lawyers would say, ‘You know, let’s not do that; that sounds insane’.

He is, of course, right.
