The decision reversed a San Francisco Federal Court ruling.

The term ‘fifteen minutes of fame’ was coined by American artist Andy Warhol in the late 1960s to explain the condition where, in the future, everyone and everything will enjoy fleeting celebrity status. It’s an expression that almost every iPhone owner in India has come to understand over the last month or two. Or, to be precise, ever since the day news of the India launch of the device broke across media. Total strangers sidle up to the iPhone owner with a look of wonder and start asking questions about the gadget — where it was bought from, how much it cost, is it compatible with all cellular networks, of how many megapixels is its camera, does it have an inbuilt FM radio, when is it being launched in India.... Among friends and colleagues, the iPhone owner assumes the mien of a knowledgeable conjuror, wowing everyone with the

New rules in Australia relating to the transfer of .au domain names have come into effect. The process of transferring .au domain names has been made easier, but this has also made "cybersquatting" easier. It is easier for cyberquatters and cybertraders to set up domain names for resale. Genuine businesses must take defensive action to ensure that their domain names are not poached, usurped or dominated by cybersquatters. It is vital to protect all the domain names of the business, to keep cybersquatters away. The domain name portfolio must be kept current and the domain names must be registered with the right authority. Each business owner must ensure that trade mark registrations are up to date. The business owner should check publications and online trading sites to ensure that domain names linked to his or her business are not being o

VideoBusiness.com: Mel Walter might work for a company that has been in business for 124 years, but he's still a big fan of spontaneity, especially when it comes to renting movies. "Seventy percent of people who enter movie-rental stores had no idea they were going there one hour before they arrived," said Walter, vice president of corporate development at NCR, the world's largest ATM manufacturer. "The options you have at home are minute compared to what you have in a 10,000-square-foot store or at kiosks with 4,000 DVDs connected to a server attached to a long-tail catalog." In the next 18 months or so, NCR will put more than 11,000 DVD kiosks into production, and the manufacturer has taken minority-ownership positions in two kiosk companies.
