In what turns out to be a non-event for all those hoping for something juicy, Apple and Cisco settled their dispute over the iPhone trademark. See Apple’s press release. See Cisco’s press release. The interesting thing about these two press releases is not the fact that they are identically worded – look at how the registered trademark symbols (that would be the ® symbols) are used. In Apple’s press release, they use the ® only for Apple, and in Cisco’s press release they use the ® only for Cisco. A rather ironic result in a trademark dispute.

Apple and Cisco settle iPhone trademark dispute
Thursday, February 22nd, 2007Wimped out on running today
Thursday, February 22nd, 2007I did get up on time with the alarm, at 5:45am. Yes, I know – too damned early for most people. This morning, I was one of them. Got up, took a very unhealthy chocolate chip muffin out of the freezer to thaw for breakfast (if you microwave them, the chocolate chips get frickin’ hot!), and went back to bed. Didn’t think I’d fall back to sleep, but I did. I felt much better, since I really could use the extra sleep. We’ll see about tomorrow – supposed to be rather windy, with wind chills possibly dropping the temperature below my 20° threshold.
