Apple stock to skyrocket? Green light in iPad Trademark in China
Apple has settled a thorny trademark case in China, where it was impossible to produce and import the iPad – until now.

It seems that we touched some sensitive chords with yesterday’s revelation that Chinese domain repository, 4.cn is actively engaging in the fine art of trademark violations.

The domain registrar, Name.com, is well known as an industry workplace with positive corporate culture. The employees don’t just have casual Fridays, they have beer on that day.
