Palm screws up

2001-09-21 16:48:56+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Via Doc Searls, Palm has screwed up big-time by demanding a name change from third party Palm fan sites. So now, rather than changing to the preferred Palm OS[Wiki] name and logo, those running the sites have said things like Jim McCarthy, proprietor of what used to be PalmGuru.com and is now PocketAnywhere.com: "I decided it would be best for me to change my name because I never wanted this issue to rise up again." We've seen this over and over again, if you let the dipshit lawyers get involved, you'll see what would be a nice small company try to become a huge company on the basis of its ability to piss off its customers. That only works short term.
