Kaum wurde das iPhone von Apple vorgestellt, brummt es schon mächtig, bevor das Gerät überhaupt irgendwer regulär kaufen konnte. Zuerst klagte Cisco wegen der Namensrechte und nun klagt Apple selbst gegen Programmierer, die die Softwareoberfläche für “normale” Handys kopieren wollen. Außerdem stellen einige Kritiker berechtigte Fragen zu dem Gerät, welche bei der umfangreichen Keynote anscheinend nicht beachtet wurden.

community, degrees of separation, patents, social networks
Friendster said Thursday that it has received a patent that covers online social networks, one the company had applied for long before its decline and recent recapitalization.
The U.S. patent, which was awarded June 27, is extremely general, and would seem to cover the activities of many other sites, especially those like LinkedIn that allow people to connect within a certain number of degrees of separation.
Naming Friendster founder Jonathan Abrams, who has left the company, as inventor, the patent refers to a “system, method, and apparatus for connecting users in an online computer system based on their relationships within social networks.”
