You might not see iPods on Paris runways, but electronics have undergone a transformation from a utilitarian necessity to a fashion accessory. While electronics aren’t exactly replacing jewelry as a status symbol - bling is still the thing - the types of gadgets a person can’t live without speaks volumes about his or her lifestyle.

We’ve seen a few different lawsuits involving ticket reselling website Stubhub (owned by eBay). Last year, you may remember, a court forced Stubhub to hand over the identity of sellers of New England Patriots’ tickets, despite the fact that Stubhub’s terms of service protect users’ privacy. One of the big questions brought up by various lawsuits is whether or not Stubhub is guilty of violating various anti-scalping laws. It seems like it would be clear that Stubhub, as the platform provider, is not liable and is protected by Section 230 of the CDA. And, in fact, that’s what a court has just found, dismissing a complaint against Stubhub. However, as Eric Goldman notes at that link, this seems to contradict with at least one other ruling against Stubhub — meaning that this is hardly settled law, and we should expect to see a bunch more lawsuits along these lines pop up before this gets worked out.

Despite the growth in internet shopping, a lot of people still like to see televisions ‘in the flesh’ before committing to buy. It makes sense for such an important (and expensive) purchase, as it’s good to get a feel for the TV and speak to experts in store. But there are huge advantages to buying [...]
You may recall stories involving a small patent holding firm called Klausner Technologies, which claims to hold patents on the concept of “visual voicemail.” It seems to have interpreted these patents pretty broadly to the point that it considers anyone who offers any graphical interface to voicemail as infringing. Over the years, that’s meant lawsuits against AOL, Vonage, Apple, eBay, AT&T and others. Apparently, suing one by one was too much trouble, because Klausner has now sued another bunch of companies including Google, Vonage and Embarq. Of course, the company is playing up the fact that all those other companies it sued settled, but we’ve seen that game before. There’s not much new here as this scenario is all too common. We have a company with an overly broad patent on a concept that was a natural obvious progression of the art, suing pretty much every company that actually innovates, thus making actual innovation more expensive.

How much of a Batman fan are you? Does your bank manger pop cold sweat and whiten when you explain that you really only need the £250,000 to buy an original Batmobile off eBay?
Well, gamers are now being offered the chance to pick up some limited edition Dark Knight Xbox 360s on eBay, and with prices ranging from over £400 to £600, it’s just not funny.
