What do you get when Friday the 13th and a full moon seem to come at the same time? Random bouts of weirdness, like the guy falling asleep while receiving a verbal warning from staff about sleeping in the library. Do you not think you're going to get in trouble?
Another weird one, RIAA - the group that is suing people for illegal music downloads - drops a case just before the judge can decide on the defendants motion for dismissal, then refiles with another judge a new case, same defendants, but "convienently" forgot to inform the new judge that the cases were related. This despite the fact that this particular case has been dismissed twice before and was not allowed to be refiled. Read more about that particular action here: http://recordingindustryvspeople.blogspot.com/2008/06/riaa-files-new-action-against-cassin.html I particularly like the comment referring to how the RIAA is looking for the "real" infringers. Sounds like someone else who was looking for the "real" killers...
Funny thing about RIAA cases, when they are pressed to reveal how they have determined that a particular person using a particular computer has downloaded and therefore cost the record company and artist six figure amounts of money, they tend to obfuscate the issue with unrelated information. The thing that seems to keep coming up in these RIAA cases is that the RIAA - which is NOT supported by all recording artists by any means - is on a witch hunt.
Finally, as noted here http://www.infoworld.com/article/08/06/12/Yahoo_ends_talks_with_Microsoft_nears_Google_deal_1.html
Yahoo is dissing Microsoft for Google. Can we file this in the how far has Microsoft fallen since the antitrust case?
