It would appear that multi-national giant Dell Computers is suing a small web designer by the name of Paul Dell for damages. Claiming he is engaging in "parasitism and unfair competition" Paul has been summoned to appear in Paris because of the name of his company and website www.dellwebsites.com. Paul, a Brit based in Menorca (a small island  off the coast of Spain), is currently hoping, with the help of his friends, to raise the funds needed and fight the case. Donations can be made or CSS templates bought to help fund this ‘David and Goliath’ case.

I am pleased to say that the guys over at Flock have released their next version of their browser and it feels a much slicker, more polished product. Based on Firefox 1.5, Flock is still in very much in the beta stages but anyone who liked the first public beta should check it out (or anyone who didn’t for that matter – its definitely improved). Check out my review of the first one (0.5) and stay tuned for the update when I have had more time to offer a fair opinion.

Adaptive Path’s Measure Map has been snapped up by Google according to Google’s Blog. Measuremap, though still in private beta, came to prominence as a free blog stats service that has been attracting great reviews. Using a great combination of Ajax and Flash, Measuremap gives you your information put into digestible chunks that is in layman’s terms. A product clearly with much potential there has been reports of performance problems recently though on larger sites which is ironic given the recent issues that Analytics had when first launched. The integration into Analytics is sure to follow and it will be interesting to see the results and how competitors like Mint respond. Their homepage has already been updated to reflect this takeover; with a link to Google’s blog at the top and a ‘Measure Map is a production of Google’.

Apple has been working with at least two other companies to perfect the digital click wheel display technology. While not all the engineering was completed in-house by Apple, sources have said Apple could hold an exclusive license on the technologies it borrowed from other developers for a period of time, limiting the ability of competitors to copy Apple’s design.
