First of all, like most of the people on HN I too agree these guys are getting a little sappy. Give it a rest and stop crying. This all sounds like the new American dream to me, wait for someone to create an accident and take advantage of it by suing the pants off of them. Your company is worthless, so you're going to sue Microsoft to make your millions?

Second... Plurk won't let me sign up with a MobileMe email address =( - http://grab.by/1fum



Stop being a jerk. The Plurk guys got hosed. I agree that this press release is a mistake, but I can see where they're coming from.

"wait for someone to create an accident and take advantage of it by suing the pants off of them"

That is in no way what Plurk did.

"Your company is worthless, so you're going to sue Microsoft to make your millions?"

Obviously the company is not worthless, or presumably MS wouldn't have bothered ripping it off.


I agree. The new American dream... I hope that I am a victim someday... er... wait, according to society we are all already victims... let me start over. I hope and dream that someday I am the victim of a wealthy perpetrator so that I can sue them and become rich.


I questioned your 2 hour old account elsewhere in this thread, but this settles it: flagged for trolling or possibly even astroturfing.
