Ex-Google manager can sue for age bias

A 54-year-old former Google Inc. manager who claimed he was fired after a supervisor told him his opinions were "too old to matter" had his age discrimination lawsuit reinstated.



Reversing a Santa Clara County trial judge, the state's Sixth District Court of Appeal ruled Thursday that Brian Reid deserves to have a jury hear the evidence he amassed that he says shows Google routinely gave older managers lower evaluations and smaller bonuses than younger managers.



"Reid produced sufficient evidence that Google's (stated) reasons for terminating him were untrue or pretextual, and that Google acted with discriminatory motive such that a fact-finder would conclude Google engaged in age discrimination," Presiding Justice Conrad L. Rushing wrote.

The Pirate Bay trial, '80% of our torrents are legal'

The ongoing trial for The Pirate Bay is attracting international attention over the court case that could change the internet forever. Neowin has been keeping up with the trial and the latest argument from TPB ( The Pirate Bay) is that "n internal survey revealed that 80% of 1000 torrents observed are, in fact, legal". Sunde, the spokes person for TPB, went on to argue that there is more copyrighted material on YouTube than on TPB. The prosecutors are also trying to establish that a hierarchy does exist at TPB but appear to be failing at solidifying their case. "Someone must ultimately decide whether to put up a certain text or graphic," asked Roswall. "No," Neij replied. "Why?

PC is the kids' choice for gaming

The NPD study, Kids & Gaming, found that the faithful PC "dominates as the top system used for gaming by kids of all age groups."



The study, conducted in August, also found that the average child started using "kid-oriented" systems (think Leapster) as a toddler, eventually moving to PC games at around age six, continuing through age 17, which is the longest term for any platform.



As kids grew older, they "migrated" to plug-and-play systems and other "more established" systems.



"...At about age 10, cell phone gaming begins, and the gaming lifecycle culminates with Nintendo DS and PlayStation Portable, and the three next generation console systems (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii)," NPD stated.

RIAA awarded $80,000 for each file-shared song

In her second, but almost certainly not final, trial, Jammie Thomas-Rasset (née Thomas) has now been ordered by a federal jury to pay $1.92 million to the RIAA for the 24 songs she is charged with sharing online. That comes out to $80,000 per track, considerably more than the $208.33 per track the RIAA, according to their legal summation at trial, had offered to let her off with in their original "pay or we sue" letter. According to Wired, Thomas-Rasset (then simply Thomas) was ordered in her first trial to pay $222,000 (or $9,250 per song) by that trial's jury, but then a mistrial had been declared.
