Is this a proper news site or a blog?

It's a bit disappointing to see this article refer to Psion as a patent troll. There's no dispute over patents and Psion aren't trying to sue Intel over some imaginary device that they managed to scribble on a bit of paper first even though they couldn't build it.

It's a dispute over a trademark. Psion fairly registered it in 1996 and it certainly wasn't a term you heard in IT at the time. They made two real products using that name as well as the netPad family of products.

Describing this situation as patent trolling is what you expect to read on weekend blogs written by people with day jobs.

Who needs netbooks?

When you have crotchtops?! (Is "crotchtop" a trademark of the INQ?)

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
