Bill Gates took the stand in the current lawsuit against Microsoft. Mircosoft is being sued for one billion dollars by Novell Inc. Novell Inc claims that Gates rejected Novell's product, WordPerfect because it was the best product out and Microsoft wanted to become a monopoly. However, Gates claims that he rejected WordPerfect because it could have caused Windows 95 to crash. Novell Inc said they lost 1.2 billion dollars because of Microsoft.

I school teacher may get fired over Facebook. After a regular day of work, a New Jersey first grade teacher wrote a comment on Facebook about her young students. She described them as "future criminals" and could lose her job because of it. Parents complained that the comment was offensive and a judge feels that she should be fired for "lack of sensitivity." I do feel that there should be some kind of discipline but she should not lose her job. She should have known not to post that comment on Facebook. A decision will be made in 45 days.

I didn't get a chance to blog last Wednesday so I'm blogging now. Motorola is bringing back the RAZR in a new updated version. The first RAZR was popular back in 2004 and Motorola is interested in bring back the success. The new RAZR will be a smart phone but how will it do against the Blackberry and iPhone? I don't think it will be successful but more of a flop. They should try to come up with something better than the competition instead of running off old ideas.

The cell phone company, US Cellular Corp recently turned down a chance to carry the iPhone. US Cellular Corp is currently the sixth largest cell phone company in the United States. They turned down the chance because the phone is too expensive. The company has about 5.9 million subscribers and the number is shrinking every year, which also added to the reasons. Sprint recently bought and said that it will take two years to pay it off. My company would definitely buy the iPhone, especially with the number of people with them today.

Just read that Angry Birds past up 500 million downloads. It came out just two years ago, and is constantly passing milestones. Once released on Android, it gained one million downloads in two days. Angry Birds is the most downloaded game ever. Me, I've never downloaded it, but after reading about the popularity I might have to.
