Deluded SCO CEO on witness stand: "Linux is a copy of UNIX"

SALT LAKE CITY —Last August, the nail was poised over SCO's coffin when Judge Dale Kimball ruled that Novell never relinquished the copyrights to UNIX, but nobody really knew when it would be driven home. The decision meant that SCO could be on the hook for as much as $20 million in unpaid royalties. Not long afterwards, SCO filed for bankruptcy, but that Chapter 11 filing was only able to delay the inevitable trial to determine how much Novell was owed. That long-awaited trial began this week, and Ars was on hand to report.

Last year, the court ruled that Novell owned the copyrights to original AT&T UNIX source code and derivatives, including SVRX (System V, Release X), and threw out the case. Now, the countersuit brought by Novell is being heard, and should be finished up this week. Novell has repeatedly said it has no interest in suing Linux users over UNIX copyrights, which would be against its interests now that Novell has ties to the open-source community through openSUSE and SUSE Enterprise Linux Server and Desktop distributions.

As they prepare for their daily patrols around Baghdad, soldiers from the 10th Mountain Division sync up their iPods, not with songs and movies, but with a laundry list of missions and audio files containing pre-recorded phrases in Iraqi Arabic or Kurdish. Loaded with special software, the music players help them communicate with the populace and learn the local culture. [More...]

Desktops crash all the time, but e-mail is forever. Or so some 14,000 customers of Charter Communications may have thought until they tried to log on recently and found their messages and photos gone and never to return. It was a software glitch during routine maintenance that caused Charter to permanently dump the 14,000 active accounts. [More...]

Microsoft has made Vista's Service Pack 1 near-final "release candidate" available for download to the general public, after initially choosing to restrict it to 15,000 beta testers when it debuted last week.

According to a blog by ZDNet.com's Mary Jo Foley, a Microsoft representative said the build contained a "number of bugs that testers encountered in previous prerelease versions of SP1."

The update is largely a collection of bug fixes and performance and compatibility improvements, but includes some minor new features.

EU launches new probe against Microsoft

The European Commission opened a new antitrust probe against Microsoft on Monday into whether it unfairly tied its Web browser to the Windows operating system and made it harder for rival software to work with Windows.
The new investigation follows a landmark European Union court decision last September that Microsoft could not exclude rivals by tying its products to its near-monopoly Windows product and must allow rival software to interoperate smoothly.

One complaint was brought by Opera, a Norwegian maker of a Web browser that competes with Internet Explorer.

The second was brought by an industry group, the European Committee for Interoperable Systems, which said Microsoft did not disclose enough interoperability information for a range of products.

"This initiation of proceedings does not imply that the Commission has proof of an infringement. It only signifies that the Commission will further investigate the case as a matter of priority," the Commission said.

Apple TV untethers from Mac, price dropped

On Tuesday Apple revamped its Apple TV media-playback device, lowering its price and completely changing its interface and adding numerous new features, most notably the ability to rent movies and purchase music and TV shows directly via the device.

During his Macworld Expo keynote address, Apple CEO Steve Jobs said the new and improved Apple TV software will be available in about two weeks as a free update to existing Apple TV devices. The entry-level 40GB model had its price dropped to $229, while the 160GB version now costs $329, a $70 price reduction for both.

In presenting the new software, Jobs showed a remarkable amount of humility about the product's first iteration, though he did suggest that Apple is not alone in having failed to solve the issue of providing digital downloads to the living room.

"All of us have tried," Jobs said. "We've all tried to figure out how to do movies, and you know what? We've all missed. No one has succeeded yet. We tried with Apple TV. Apple TV was designed to be an accessory for iTunes and your computer. It's not what people wanted. We learned what people really wanted was movies, movies movies. And we weren't delivering that. So we're back with Apple TV, take two."
