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. Google believes this helps its case against Viacom but Viacom says that there are enough differences between YouTube and Veoh that it will contin

Why ISPs' "Stand" Against Child Porn Is Actually Not a Stand Against Child Porn

TechDirt has an insightful article on the recent push for ISPs to turn off Usenet access under the guise of fighting child pornography. Unfortunately, the "stand against child porn" isn't actually a stand at all, it seems more like ignoring the issue while trying to snag some headlines and good will. "Taking a stand against child porn wouldn't be overly aggressively blocking access to internet destinations that may or may not have porn (and there's no review over the list to make sure that they're actually objectionable). Taking a stand against child porn would be hunting down those responsible for the child porn and making sure that they're dealt with appropriately... Also, this sets an awful precedent in that the ISPs can point out that it's ok for them to block "objectionable" content where they get to define what's objectionable witho

Mattel Wins Nearly Complete Victory In Copyright Infringement Case Against MGA

July 18, 2008 (FinancialWire) Mattel Inc. (NYSE: MAT) has won a nearly complete victory in its federal copyright infringement case against rival MGA Entertainment Inc. over which toymaker owns the original drawings for the $1 billion-plus Bratz fashion doll franchise. The federal jury found that the creator of the multi-ethnic, big-headed dolls, Carter Bryant, created their characters and the name while he was under contract as a Barbie designer at Mattel. The decision put Mattel in commanding position going into the damages phase of the trial, in which the jury will determine if the Bratz doll infringes on the drawings Mattel now owns and whether MGA owes Mattel damages as a result. Other than four drawings that Bryant testified he made in a notebook while on an eight-month hiatus from Mattel in 1998, privately held MGA lost the rights t

T-Mobile Will Be First To Use Android

stoolpigeon writes to tell us that T-Mobile's upcoming phone will try to combine the best elements of many of the new smart phones, and will be using Google's Android software. "The HTC phone, which many gadget sites are calling the 'dream,' will have a touch screen, like the iPhone. But the screen also slides out to expose a full five-row keyboard. A video of the phone has been posted recently on YouTube. A person who has seen the HTC device said it matched the one in the video. The phone's release date depends on how soon the Federal Communications Commission certifies that the Google software and the HTC phone meet network standards. Executives at all three companies are hoping to announce the phone in September because they would benefit from holiday season sales.

The Case Against Case-Mate Clear Armor for iPhone

Case-mate Clear Armor is another iPhone protection system that covers the device in a thin, clear, durable film. Since it's made out of similar stuff as its competitors, it's best to compare on factors like warranty and ease of application. On those fronts, Clear Armor falls flat, writes reviewer Bob LeVitus. You're better off paying $5 more for a rival product, he recommends.
