Not really an earth shattering "grassroots campaign/david vs goliath" situation but noteworthy none the less. A site has been set up to "Save the Netbooks" due to Psion Teklogix emailing and threatening various people about trademark infringement.
Directly from the site:
Psion Teklogix has sent "literally hundreds" of cease & desist letters (sample) to netbook manufacturers and retailers (as well as bloggers and journalists) giving them until the end of March 2009 to "transition to a different descriptive term".
(I posted on this earlier but apparently the battle is heating up - You can re-visit the post here). Let's keep the information flowing and see how this plays out.
Movie quote:
Louise: How did you get here?
Johnny: Well, basically, there was this little dot, right? And the dot went bang and the bang expanded. Energy formed into matter, matter cooled, matter lived, the amoeba to fish, to fish to fowl, to fowl to frog, to frog to mammal, the mammal to monkey, to monkey to man, amo amas amat, quid pro quo, memento mori, ad infinitum, sprinkle on a little bit of grated cheese and leave under the grill till Doomsday.
