Cupcake Party, Cybersquatters, Robots & Salt
John Zuccarini, a scam artist, who trapped surfers mistyping their URLs, including those for children's web sites, and barraged them with popup ads for porn and gambling has been fined almost US$2 million. The FTC has a sense of humour: the case name is 'Cupcake Party'.
Internet addresses packing the famous labels of Ralph Lauren and Polo fashions and an alleged cybersquatter who didn't even bother to respond to the accusation would normally add up to a slam-dunk decision for a trademark holder under a fast-track system to resolve disputes over domain names.
Touted as the first Internet-enabled, completely autonomous consumer robot, it is the first product from Evolution Robotics of Pasadena, California. With the company's US$499 build-it-yourself kit, you essentially construct a mobile robot around your own notebook PC. Included software permits novice robotics hobbyists to program complex behaviours with relative ease.
Scientists at the University of Florida say a new form of solid nitrogen salt could power smaller and lighter spacecraft.
