I would write a nice haiku
and then save the world.
3M promotion hijacks Post-It Note Jaguar {Autoblog}
Sep 8th 2008 7:22PM Luckily, copyright / intellectual property law isn't concerned with who's more greedy.
The question is whether their use of a very, very similar image was fair, and the fact that they asked him first means they clearly wanted to use his.
So, the more central questions is something like "what damages has he suffered because they copied his image almost-verbatim?"
(as an aside, I'd say $2,000 isn't particularly greedy of him for what they wanted to use his image for. Advertising is very big business.)

Sep 8th 2008 7:10PM @K4ffy - but this is more creative than a bottle of milk and a background. The use of color and material is obviously very similar, and IANALB it most definitely looks like a blatant violation of IP rights.
I'd like to see him sue just to see what 3M's legal team's response would be.

Jul 3rd 2008 2:00PM @Paul J.: I've got to respectfully disagree. I think it looks gorgeous, and uses flowing lines to emphasize an elegant, sweeping, and most-of-all unique style.
On the other hand, I think the 911 looks like a floppy tit and sounds like a nervous RC car.
@Autoblog: Where are pics of the engine, or an underside shot of the exhaust piping? Too bad they didn't make more substantial improvements on the car....
Seagate rolls out 1TB Maxtor Central Axis NAS {Engadget}
Jun 26th 2008 1:55PM I'm frankly surprised there haven't been more WWII (or WWI for that matter...) jokes yet.
How does Poland feel about this NAS?
Is it still bitter about the Treaty of Versailles?
Frankly, it looks rather big. Will my desk have enough space, or will it need some Lebensraum from the office next door.

Carbon body, okay. Lemon-yellow interior? Not okay.
So many kinds of not okay.
iPhone users can now drop data plan, save $20 per month {Engadget}
Nov 16th 2007 3:10PM Does this mean you can add/drop the data part of the plan on a monthly basis? So, in theory, if you had a month or two when you know you'll need constant data/internet access, you could just pay the extra $20 for those months?
Or is it a permanent drop from the plan?

Oct 25th 2007 6:02PM So, don't take this the wrong way- I love your coverage and galleries and all- but,
why are your galleries so frequently lacking pictures of device backs, or top/bottom sides? Even if there's nothing of much interest there, it's a matter of curiousity.
