Oracle v. Google: What the verdict means for open source | InfoWorld
The decade-long legal battle between two of the world’s largest tech companies has finally come to an end. The result was a victory for the open-source software community.
In case you need a refresher on the Oracle v. Google case, Oracle sued Google in 2010 for copyright infringement on Google’s use of Oracle’s Java API in its Android smartphone operating system. The District Court ruled in favor of Google, but that decision was later reversed on appeal. The case ultimately landed in the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled six to two in Google’s favor this April.

Apple's M1 MacBook screens are stunning – stunningly fragile and defective, that is, lawsuits allege
Aggrieved MacBook owners in two separate lawsuits claim Apple's latest laptops with its M1 chips have defective screens that break easily and malfunction.
The complaints, both filed on Wednesday in a federal district court in San Jose, California, are each seeking class certification in the hope that the law firms involved will get a judicial blessing to represent the presumed large group of affected customers and, if victorious, to share any settlement.
Each of the filings contends Apple's 2020-2021 MacBook line – consisting of the M1-based MacBook Air and M1-based 13" MacBook Pro – have screens that frequently fail. They say Apple knew about the alleged defect or should have known, based on its own extensive internal testing, reports from technicians, and feedback from customers.

A Burger King where the only Whopper is the BSOD font
Bork goes back to its roots today, with a screen of purest blue showing its unwanted face outside a US Burger King branch.
At least it makes a change from McDonald's, very much the DNS of Bork when it comes to failures.
In this instance, it looks like it is the exterior signage, normally showing a slideshow of tasty (and frequently greasy) treats, that has succumbed to the curse of Microsoft.
