I tried to write an as "simple as possible", plain language, Terms of Service for the G02.ME web service.

Did I succeed?

Ling's mistake - taking the option to "quit" and save face rather than be "fired". Getting fired you have the option to sue the company for wrongful termination and seek damages. If you quit - it's all over. Given the short duration before a major stock award that was due him, it seems to me he would have a case that Facebook a) had no compelling reason to fire him and b) was acting in bad faith with respect to his original employment offer.

Quoted: Ling got a new job at YouTube and a fat signing bonus, but no Facebook shares, some of which he probably deserved for his work on the platform.

A scathing analysis of all the anti-shareholder actions Jerry Yang has taken in the last few months. I think Joe Nocera is right on here - when your company goes public, you can no longer treat it as your private plaything. Neither can it be run for the benefit of the employees....it's the owners of the company, the shareholders, who's interests must be paramount.

Arrogantly, Mr. Yang appears to ignore this fact, and is now being sued by large shareholders, pension funds, and Carl Icahn.

How can he NOT be forced to step down (much less cost Yahoo many tens of millions in defending against these suits)?

Quoted: Since Yahoo went public in 1996, the company has had new owners — its shareholders — but it is unclear whether Jerry Yang, the company’s co-founder and chief executive, knows this.

Sounds to me like some companies are abusing the "internship" status of summer students to get unpaid labor that violates federal labor laws and minimum wage standards.

I think if companies are primarily hiring students to do work for them, they should be compensated by at least paying them minimum wage.

A true internship has to PRIMARILY benefit the student - and not the "employer". Students certainly desire to get real-world work experience - but why should they do so when they are providing real-world value to their employers in the process.

Quoted: If the school or other employer is the primary beneficiary, the individuals will be considered employees, but if the interns are the ones who primarily benefit from the work experience, they will be considered trainees.

Why is his wife still holding his hand?

Quoted: Gov. Eliot Spitzer has been caught on a federal wiretap arranging to meet with a high-priced prostitute, according to a person briefed on the inquiry.

I thought Scrabulous would have been shut down by now. All the threats to take it down by a specific date have come and gone w/o anything happening.

Scrabble is old enough, that I think there is some chance that it could be shown that it is already in the public domain. It would be ironic if this is the case that will unearth something that shows that to be the case.

Anyone have a Scrabble board that was published w/o a copyright notice prior to 1977? There's the smoking gun!

Could be relevant to the Scrabulous debate. Since Scrabble was invented in 1931 (as Lexico), if it was ever (?) published without a copyright notice before 1977, then it falls into the public domain. Scrabulous could continue w/o violating rights to the game since the board layout and tile distribution can only be protected by copyright (a patent, if any were filed, would have expired long ago - and then the work would have entered the public domain automatically - copyrighted or not).
