Apple vs. Samsung OR MamaMahoney vs. JEMSS - Healthy Tension

A SERIOUS and DEEP Problem

It appears that Mama Mahoney Creations (JANICE) has Trademarked and Service Marked the usage of Mojo (DOG) in any sales or marketing as connected with said company or person....so to speak. JEMSS (THE CRAZY ONE) had wanted to LICENSE the usage and likeness of said DOG in identified Facebook posting. As such, we are court-ordered to NOT use the DOG as the Mascot. Conflict of Interest.

Thoughts from the group? Is there a legal precedence or LICENSING agreement that makes SENSE between two companies that have a bit of healthy tension over the issue.

Heartbleed - Trust But Verify - Clean Up - Aisle 42

Heartbleed.  The bug/virus is slowly affecting or affected or COULD affect about 60% of the systems on the Internet.  Everything is a RISK.  The simple solution: Change your password.  Why?  The new patches fix the problem but your password might be floating out there in Hacker land.

Who really was affected and why?  Well, the major players all used an OPEN version of SSL.  That's the little LOCK thing that happens when you do secure stuff like Buying stuff on Amazon.  The slower and more conservative players were NOT affected like Banks and Trading platforms (i.e. PNC, Ameritrade).

So, isn't OPEN good.  It is.  More eyes are watching things which is the best for all.  However, with everyone watching, none really was CHECKING stuff or looking deep into the code for errors or anomalies.  Everyone, in this fast-paced, 140 Character, 9 Second Attention Span world ignored the basic CHECK/BALANCE systems that are done when you are accountable for stuff.

So...OPEN is GOOD but Trust But Verify.

Now....Go change those Passwords.  Ok?
