• Microsoft is not the first or last to use crass manipulation to play on demographics. But as the company who sicked its army of lawyers on teenager Mike Rowe and countless other evil deeds, Microsoft should know it's the target of rightful hate and things like this will get them bad press.

  A grammatical Nazi who can't construct a sentence properly, using 'and my' three times in the same sentence, shouldn't be criticizing others. Don't assume English is everyone's mother tongue. Oh, and you do realize you are the exception, not the rule, when it comes to business users having adopted the iPhone as their communication device.

• I for one wholeheartedly applaud CNET and EFF for intervening on behalf of public disclosure. The fact judge Patel gagged the court when deCSS code has been available everywhere, including t-shirts, for the better part of a decade telling. Until the internet generation replaces the old farts in the halls of government and justice, boy are we in trouble. In reply to: "Judge seals courtroom in MPAA DVD-copying case"

• If you weren't such an idiot you'd know grocery stores pump the nation full of chemicals for an extra day's worth of shelf life. They are also responsible for half the Amazon's deforestation. Grocery stores are second only to the MPAA on the scale of evilness. In reply to: "Judge seals courtroom in MPAA DVD-copying case"

• d3vildog69, you may be comfortable with the fact *AAs can exploit the world's most draconian legislation, the DMCA, to have any American site shut down on a whim. But believe me when I tell you most of us here on planet Earth think you're absolutely nuts. In reply to: "Pirate Bay judge accused of conflict of interest"

• No conflict of interest? Maybe, but considering a guilty verdict and severe penalty was awarded after the prosecution made complete fools of themselves throughout the trial, I highly doubt it.
  
  TPB hosts and serves up links, not copyrighted material. I can use Google to exclusively search for copyrighted material and the fact that's what most people use TPB for doesn't make them any more guilty than Google.
  
  Try googling: Mission Impossible filetype:torrent
  
  Sure the TPB guys are cocky, wouldn't you be if sharks were constantly on your back when you know you're not doing anything against the law? In reply to: "Pirate Bay judge accused of conflict of interest"

  Add to that a constant assault on privacy, the perversion of laws and lawmakers, attempts to shape the internet into something it was not meant to be and all of it without the slightest shred of evidence of financial loses and there's plenty of reasons to root for the other team.

  Why, that's exactly what I got after purchasing Windows Vista. You people give new meaning to the term extremists. In reply to: "BSA equates software pirates to Somali pirates"

• From the Twitter blog: "The worm introduced to Twitter was similar to the famous Samy worm which spread across the popular MySpace"
  
  The obvious question should be why were they vulnerable to a 'famous' attach vector? So the kid gave them a weekend sweat and got them to secure their network, give him a break from the bloodsucking lawyers. In reply to: "Teen takes responsibility for Twitter worms"
