Reuters: Apple convinced a federal jury on Friday that early versions of health monitoring tech company Masimo’s smartwatches infringe two of its design patents as part of a broader intellectual property dispute between the companies. The jury, in Delaware, agreed with A...

It probably does no good to cancel your Washington Post subscription. It's hard to imagine Bezos would lose any money from a complete writedown. Any loss would offset gains he would receive from selling a tiny bit of Amazon stock, it would wash out on his balance sheet.

You can't hurt him with money. In fact I'm pretty sure we can't hurt him in any way. So why not keep the reporters employed, for once the seem to be doing the right thing and keeping us in the loop on why they're doing the awful thing they're doing. Usually we're kept in the dark.

So when the Dodger hit the walk-off grand slam last night, half of me was ecstatic because the Yankees were beaten, but oops, but I hate it even more that the freaking Dodgers won. This World Series is unique in that I desperately want both teams to lose. What do you do with that??

BTW if you're thinking why don't we just go for the Nets. As I've said here many times, there aren't actually any Nets fans to speak of in NY. That was the huge self-parody Kevin Durant did when he claimed there was some kind of rivalry between the Nets and the Knicks. Really unfortunate unforced error he could have just asked a few people where are all the Nets fans.

Lots of Yankees fans at the Garden yesterday to see the great Knicks team of last year show up for the first time. The game in Boston on Tuesday was disheartening. It's a new team with the core of last year's team. And when the fans started roaring when there was nothing hap...

Who owns the Garden? James Dolan.

Will there be Nazi flags at Trump's Madison Square Garden rally?

I bet Bezos wishes he owned Twitter instead of Musk.

It’s almost as though — hear me out — Apple launched Vision Pro in 2023 for long-term strategic reasons, not with short-term sales in mind.

The Washington Post announcing it wouldn’t endorse a candidate for president is the first glimpse we’ve had of how news publishing in the US has been devastated by fear of fascism. This must go back at least as far as the 2016 election and Hillary’s emails. The editorial people broke the wall, deciding to give the readers the first glimpse we’ve gotten into the inner conflicts of one two most influential news orgs in the country.

Until now this was the one story they would never report on. Truly a milestone. And now that the window is open, open it further. Report on how a major news org holds back stories that would be of intense interest to the people, if only the news orgs did their jobs. This is where the "public editors" never went, and should have gone.

Maybe political parties should have strongmen, that might have prevented us from having one as the head of the government.

I just changed the header graphic for my blog from the 1969 Mets, to the 2024 Supreme Court. They're Americans too, and I have a feeling they're going to be on the train to Springfield before too long, if the worst happens.

What a sad situation. What started with the open web in the 90s is now owned by billionaires, who, looking for new worlds to conquer have adopted a fascist buffoon as their frontman. It was never supposed to be owned by anyone.

Why hasn’t the NY Times run a story that takes Trump at face value and explains to voters what it would be like to live in that United States? It should have been updated and run every time Trump ups the ante. An example. Trump says Americans who criticize the Supreme Cour...
