Foo Fighter: Back And Forth DVD and Blu-ray
So I now have one copy each of Foo Fighters: Back And Forth DVD and Blu-ray. The sad part is that I do not own a Blu-ray player in any form. The Blu-ray version of Foo Fighters documentary is currently available on Best Buy only.
Dear Lodsys, Payback is a Bitch.
FOSS Patents blog reports that ESET, the maker of NOD-32 Antivirus filed a declaratory judgment action against Lodsys with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California.
Lodsys recently gained notoriety for filing lawsuits against seven iOS Developers for in-app-purchases and in-app-upgrades related patents. Apple then filed motion to intervene on Lodsys Patent Lawsuit. A Michigan company named ForeSee Results Inc. is seeking to invalidate Lodsys patent portfolio.

South Park makes Fleetwood Mac’s “Landslide” a hit again.
“You’re Getting Old” might have the saddest ending of any South Park episode. This episode featured Stevie Nicks penned song “Landslide” which she performed with Fleetwood Mac. Videos of the song on Youtube suddenly getting boosts of viewers.
That’s the South Park bump.
Watch “Landslide” segment from “You’re Getting Old” episode.
Apple runs interference on Lodsys Patent Lawsuit.
As expected Apple files motion to intervene on Lodsys Patent Lawsuit against iOS Developers. Previously Apple Legal sent a letter Lodsys in response to the lawsuit threats against iOS Developers.
