  1. Comment - iPod Nano May Have Some Big Problems

    (Sep 26, 2005 - 11:31 AM)

    The screen is damaged easily, looks like shorts and cracks in 2-4 places, two on the bottom, two on the top, but I haven't taken it apart to see where it breaks.

    Now, my logic dictates that I take any LCD device out of my pocket before sitting down. I've gotten away with it exactly 3 times with my PPC, and I'm always nervous when I realized I just sat down on it because everyone knows that LCD's don't flex.

    The problem with everyone who complains about something that is preventable is that personal responsibility has been wiped out of America by lawsuits [and it isn't the fault of the attorneys of the world, if people didn't file lawsuits, attorney's wouldn't exist].

    I've been waiting to purchase a couple of these because there just had to be issues. Time to buy something other than image.

    Libel/Slander/Defamation is a personal action so companies themselves don't get sued, only individuals [although concessions may be made if investigators find a lot of people involved in the Libel/Slander/Defamation action.

    What that means is that the only people who get sued are the people who get found out that they published, or caused to be published, the defamatory words.

    In a nutshell, a company is pretty immune to suits concerning words, but the people who speak them tend to find themselves in hot water. [ie: fired, then civil suit by company claiming defamation]

    Slander = spoken defamation
    Libel = written defamation
    defamation = spoken or written words that falsely reflect on a living person's reputation

    Companies can sue for defamation in Australia, but I'm not too sure right now about the US. I think they can sue for harm to the corporate image. I guess I could do some homework on that.

    You can't sue for Defamation or slander [its spoken]

    Libel is written defamation but you most likely won't see the company being sued for libel. Although some concession may be made because you have to sue the person within a company that published or caused to be published, the defamatory words.

    Either way, its a personal action.

  5. Comment - Supreme Court: Cable Can Stay Closed

    Why not?

    Because GM didn't lay out the method for delivery of its products just so the government could mandate that HONDA be allowed to utilize the same railroad track that GM spent millions or billions to deploy.

    If I lay fiber across the US to capture a market share, I shouldn't have someone else come along with a $5/Month lower cost and take my customers away after I did the hard work.

    Cable companies who brought their product to the doorsteps of their customers SHOULD have the right to allow passage of data across their network and charge for it or not allow it.

    You'll not even notice a change. But it makes for good news because it's the Supreme Court! Have you heard anything from them until recently? Suddenly they wake up so they can appear to have been very busy... reading.
