- The Little App Factory, makers of iPodRip, got a notice from Apple legal to change the name of their app because they were infringing on Apple’s trademarks.

Google Groups is Dead

Gmail, Google Reader, GTalk, and Google calendar run completely counter to the way I use computers, and other stuff like Froogle, image search, and Google news are completely broken. Plus Google maps doesn’t even work in the latest Firefox 3 (3.0.14) on XP or Leopard. Via Daring Fireball.
