IBM lands solid uppercut in SCO case Written by Adrian Wooster The case initiated by SCO against IBM, making claims to the effect that they own Linux and the world, and in particular IBM, is infringing SCO's copyright took a solid step forward with IBM issuing a "Summary Judgement" in their counter claim. A full and readable precis can be read at http://www.ip-wars.net/story/2006/10/14/233634/06 but this seems like a pretty unequivocal bodyblow to SCO and its ludicrous, and Microsoft funded, claims.

Dear Auntie - Apple not IBM Written by Adrian Wooster 2006-08-05: The BBC ran an item celebrating the 25th birthday of the personal computer. While it may be true that IBM's trademark on the two letters "PC" may be 25 years old, the personal computer pre-dates IBM's attempts by quite a few years. Even a certain Mr Gates got hits mits on the Altair before making that call to IBM. But lets not forget the true pioneers in the Valley - Wozniac and Jobs. The Apple II was launched in 1977 with mainstream, useable software like Bricklin's and Frankston's Visicalc openly available in 1979 - all of this was happening before IBM entered the fray. While its dangerous to state unquivocally that Apple absolutely created the first personal computer, they certainly made the first machine to capture the imagination of the business and education worlds with a mass-market desktop computer. Cheers to Wozniac and Jobs! True pioneers.   [ Back ]
