TechCrunch Sued(Again) but Arrington should rather be Happy !

TechCrunch was being sued by Earthcomber for absurd reasons and will be countersued by TechCrunch for this act. On October 8,Earthcomber,a Chicago based startup filed a lawsuit against TechCrunch,adding it as a defendent in a patent infringement lawsuit which the former earlier filed against Loopt,a location based social network.The reasons behind penalizing Loopt still seem logical but putting TechCrunch under the scanner seems way illogical to us.  

Earthcomber vs Techcrunch

And Michael seems quite pissed off with this stuff and with Earthcomber President Jim Brady.According to Michael's conversations with Jim,it's not something that needs to be taken so seriously and can be worked out before going to the court.His ultimate target is taking Loopt to the court and not TC. This seems a pure publicity gimmick

3 Nonprofit Websites we can’t really afford to loose

There are some of the nonprofit websites which are non-commercial but have made a huge impact on the web. Three of them are given below: When it's about Web,then most of the services we use comes for FREE(for consumers),be it e-mail,messenger,web space,website building tools,music,videos,information,e-books,softwares and endless stuff like that. But almost all the service providers have their own ways of earning out of the FREE services they facilitate.Plenty of service providers on the web are encashing tens of millions of dollars out of their web based businesses. But still,there exists a plethora of web services which are 'free to use' and do not monetize their services at all.And few of them have made a huge impact on web population and the internet as a whole. So, here are those three elite web entities which you can't really

Send your Pic/Logo to space for just $2….Really ???

Here's Intospace scam. Intospace lets you pic/logo get into space for just $2...Seems too good to be true,rather a scam One of the popular childhood passions that one has is to become an Astronaut.But as time passes,we realise that it's not our cup of tea and those who get to have a chance for a 'space ride' create nothing but history. The trend of commercial space trips are on the charts but it 's just not feasible for a common man to have such a ride(A space ride will cost $20 million through a Russian space shuttle) So any cheap solution ? IntoSpace is a website that claims to send your photo/logo into space for just $2.The date of launch will be somewhere in 2010 and there are 2,56,027 seats still left in this 'strange' spacetrip.The photo/logo will be resized to 0.4x0.4 inches(will the pic be even clearly visible !)

First month of Google Chrome !

Google Chrome is about to complete its first month after launch and it has shown tremendous growth in this short life span. Statistics may vary on regional basis but the overall market share of Chrome has crossed Opera,Safari and even Internet Explorer. We can't say about other websites but our own statistics clearly depict the overwhelming acceptance of Chrome. However Google Chrome's Mac version is still unavailable(will probably become available by the end of this year) but Chrome's extensive usage hasn't been restricted by this at all. 28.61% of TechPluto's readership is accessing this weblog through Google Chrome.47.77% of our visitors access TechPluto through
