Did someone try to make a quick buck on ICOA this morning? | Mobile – CNET News

The phony press release sent out this morning on PRWeb detailing Google’s acquisition of Wi-Fi provider ICOA for $400 million may have been an attempt to move the company
fit flop sale s penny stock.

The company’s stock started trading this morning at $0.0001 and steadily climbed throughout the morning to $0.0005, where it peaked around 11:30 a.m. ET. Once news trickled out that the press release was a hoax, the company’s stock price sharply dropped to $0.0001 again. And it has bounced between fitflop shoes at price and $0.0002 since then.

The fake press release was widely circulated this morning and reported by several news organizations, including the Associated Press. CNET did not report the acquisition news, but did publish a story calling the press release a hoax. When contacted by CNET, ICOA’s chief executive denied there had been any acquisition.

Google has not yet responded to the apparent hoax and neither has PRWeb, which circulated the bogus release.

In an e-mail, ICOA Chief Executive Geor fitflop sale Strouthopoulos noted that the hoax looks like the work of a “stock promoter with a dubious interest” in “disseminating wrong, false and misleading information in PR circles.” A spokesman for the company said that ICOA is reporting the incident to the proper authorities. The company also believes the phony press release originated from Aruba.

This press release scam is similar to another hoax perpetrated in 2000 when a 23-year-old college student and day trader named Mark Simeon Jakob, managed to get his former employer Internet Wire to publish a bogus press release about Emulex. Jakob, who had been day trading, ended up making more than $240,000 from his trades based on the false press release.

Jakob, who had sold 3,000 shares of Emulex in a short sale, crafted a press release stating that the chief executive of Emulex had quit and the company was restating its quarterly earnings from a profit to a loss, according to a story on ABC News.com. Jakob was arrested in August 2000 when FBI agents were able to piece together the scam and locate him. He pleaded guilty in December that same year.

We can’t yet confirm if the charger supports the existing Qi standard (as Engadget reports), which would make it compatible with third-party chargers like the fit flops cheap

Oracle: The judge was wrong in our case with Google | Mobile – CNET News

Despite losing its infringement battle with Google, Oracle is still willing to wage a war over an earlier ruling in the matter.

The company earlier this week ffit flop sale
led an appeals brief with the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, saying that Google’s use of Java in Android was “decidedly unfair,” according to Reuters, which obtained a copy of the filing. Oracle said that copyright is designed to protect all kinds of works, including “a short poem ofitflop sale

even a Chinese menu,” but what it created in Java was “vastly more original, creative, and labor-intensive.”

Oracle sued Google in 2010 for allegedly infringing copyrights it held on 37 Java application programming interfaces (APIs) in Android. Oracle argued that Google knowingly used the APIs without a license from Sun Microsystems, which Oracle bought in 2010.

Last May, a jury delivered a partial verdict in Oracle’s favor, saying that Google infringed the overall structure, sequence, and organization of Java’s language. The jury did not, however, make mention of fair use. Soon after, the presiding judge, William Alsup, ruled that APIs were not copyrightable and tossed out Oracle’s claim.

In this week’s filing, Oracle argues that Alsup was wrong in his assessment. Oracle attorney E. Joshua Rosenkranz illustrated his point by creating a hypothetical author in the filing named “Ann Droid.” That person, he said in his hypothetical example, obtained an advance copy of “Harry Potter” and copied several parts.

“Google Inc. has copied a blockbuster literary work just as surely, and as improperly, as Ann Droid – and has offered the same defenses,” he wrote.

Google has not publicly commented on the appeal brief, but the company will file its own response in May, according to Reuters.

CNET has contacted Google for comment on the filing. We will update this story when we have more information.
