JDMBA.


Jason is mark in trouble here... Curious for your personal opinion.


Sure, I'll add in my speculation:

IF it's not an entire forgery: There will most likely be a large settlement here. The guy won't want to go through the legal troubles associated with the case since it will take years. He's not like Aaron or the twins, which saw more than just money in the case. Paul Ceglia wants his money. Facebook will also not want to go to court on this one as the PR drags out and there's a decent chance that something devastating could happen. The question is: What's the PR play? If FB settles for a large sum of money very quickly it will just add to the line of people that Mark "stole" the idea from.

There's also a chance that it's a forgery or gets thrown out on a technicality. Here's my somewhat logically, but still randomly decided likely outcome %s:

Facebook Settles For Large Amount of Cash: 45% The entire thing is a forgery: 25% It gets thrown out on a technicality: 30% Goes to court, Facebook loses (likely in 2012), devastation: 5%


well articulated j.


gracias Pete. Call ya later to wish you good luck on the bar this week.


Good post... Curious to see How people react in the consumer market to the boxee box.


Thank you. I think the reaction will be pretty good. It's the start of things to come as Boxee has the goal of being on all platforms. An interesting byproduct of the Boxee box is the remote that they will also sell separately.

They will also be releasing the code to the boxee box (http://blog.boxee.tv/2010/01/07/boxee-box-internals-revealed...) which is interesting since it runs on tegra 2 (which runs dual core ARM 9). I'm assuming that means they have ported Boxee to arm architecture, though I could be wrong there.


And what about pregnant mothers and others with adult acne?I see the attempt but do not agree with the execution.


I dont think the council have quite the same problem with loitering pregnant mothers
