Griffin Wave for iPhone Case.

Today we are going to look at a very nice case of the iPhone that is also available for the new iPhone 3G. The case is called the Griffin Wave for iPhone. Several colors are available and the case protects the screen and leaves all the controls easily accessible. The edges of the case are beveled so that they are comfortable against your ear and face when the phone is in use. When the Griffin Wave for iPhone is installed, it does add a bit of bulk to the phone, but not much. Obviously, you can no longer place the phone into the docking cradle when the case is on, but the sync/charge cable itself fits with the case installed without any issues.

Veoh Court Victory May Be Bad Sign for Viacom - YouTube infringement case may have gotten weaker

Google is in the midst of a $1 billion copyright infringement lawsuit filed by Viacom for YouTube violations of copyright infringement. Google hopes that a recent ruling in the favor of video site Veoh will mean good things for the YouTube case. In both the Veoh case (filed by porn company Io after the company’s adult films were found on the Veoh site) and the YouTube case, the defendants’ believe that they are not responsible for hosting liabilities because of a “safe harbor” clause in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. These sites are simply service providers that have to do minimal things to make sure that copyright isn’t violated. The court has ruled that this is true in the case of Veoh.

If any sex bloggers are wounded by what I say here, I apologize, but please keep in mind how you feel when you write about sex with a date who doesn’t like your review.
