Posted: jada @ Tue Jun 23, 2009 6:23 pm

Someone claiming to be a source "close to the situation" between Nokia and Intel this morning evidently was not close enough, as a Nokia x86 may still be years off.

As it turns out, Bloomberg News' source this morning on Intel's and Nokia's major news was kinda right, kinda not. In a morning press teleconference, Intel's Ultra Mobility Group SVP Anand Chandrasekher and Nokia Executi...

Solid Oak Software and the Chinese deserve each other
Posted: jada @ Sun Jun 21, 2009 5:38 am

Lockdown with Angela Gunn The allegedly wronged filtering firm has been shady about IP in the past.

Of all the filtering software makers in all the world, it's interesting and appropriate that Chinese software developers chose Solid Oak Software's CyberSitter to (allegedly) pirate -- not because it's the best out there, but because it's historically hewed the closest to enforcing the kind of ...

Posted: jada @ Fri Jun 19, 2009 2:33 am
