Another case of strongarming by Micro$oft

[tontod]

Seems like sheer size and power won this case for Microsoft again:

Microsoft settles over XBox name

i don't see strongarming... i'll bet M$ paid them a whole buncha money, more than that tiny company grosses in 2 years, for the rights to the name.

what i don't like is cnet saying MS is having a half a billion dollar marketing "campaign" which implies half a billion in ads, which just isn't true.

I saw this over at gotapex.com.

A dispute over Microsoft's use of "Xbox" has been settled between the mammoth maker of monstrosities and Xbox Technologies, a Michigan-based technology company. In the settlement, Xbox Technology agreed to change its name after being visited by someone identifying himself as Satan, escorted by Mr. Gates.

Funny stuff.
