Is the new iPhone more expensive?

Vlad — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 07:35:46 +0000

Everybody is talking about it: the iPhone 3G was officially announced. And although until now I tried to stay out of this frenzy, the new specs and availability to global markets is making it more and more appealing.

Of course, it took less than a couple of hours for Nokia fanboys to raise their voice. And since the tech specs are pretty much hard to top, they picked on the price.

So, is the new iPhone more expensive?(...)

MacBook Air Hacked In Less Than 2 Minutes

Vlad — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 08:21:50 +0000

I was reading the other day about this year’s PWN 2 OWN competition. We’ll it looks like there’s already a big ~~winner~~ looser: the MacBook Air, which was hacked in less than 2 minutes. I guess Apple’s OS is all talk and no walk:

Mac OS X was designed for high security, so it isn’t plagued by constant attacks from viruses and malware like PCs.

So, if you’re in the market for a highly portable laptop, you might wanna stick to Dell’s XPS M1330. And if you want it hacked real quickly, the XPS can also be installed with Mac OS (though there are some issues with drivers for Ethernet card).

As seen on engadget.

So how much will Apple pay Cisco for the iPhone trademark?

Vlad — Wed, 10 Jan 2007 10:26:59 +0000

With the recent announcement of Apple’s IPhone one question comes to mind: how much will Apple pay to Cisco for the trademark. According to Cisco’s News Release and Charlie Giancarlo’s declaration (Linksys president – Linksys, which was bougth by Cisco, is actually the owner of the IPhone trademark) it seems that there is some draft agreement but it hasn’t been inked yet:

Given Apple’s numerous requests for permission to use Cisco’s iPhone trademark over the past several years and our extensive discussions with them recently, it is our belief that with their announcement today, Apple intends to agree to the final document and public statement that were distributed to them last night and that addressed a few remaining items. We expect to receive a signed agreement today.

What do you think? How much will they pay?

UPDATE (via argumente): It seems the agreement wasn’t inked and Cisco filed for lawsuit. From Cisco’s SVP Mark Chandler’s comments:

[..]

Cisco owns the iPhone trademark.

[..]

Fundamentally we wanted an open approach. We hoped our products could interoperate in the future.

[..]

This lawsuit is about Cisco’s obligation to protect its trademark in the face of a willful violation. Our goal was collaboration. The action we have taken today is about not using people’s property without permission.
