    Post Assistance Needed

    Hello

    I am planning to build a new virtual world where users can interact, socialise, meet friends and share media in 3D. I am looking for someone who can be part of the team. This is a great opportunity as we have some of the bestest ideas ever made.

    If you are interested please pm me as soon as you are interested.

    Thank you

    Andrew

    This thread is headed to job recruitment any minute now, I reckon. (Although the lack of details and "bestest ideas EVAR!!!!!11111" (slight exaggeration) don't necessarily inspire confidence. You're asking for people to help and won't even tell them what you want them to do?)

    I have a better idea: How about you give more information and then those that are interested can respond.

    Is it supposed to provide job security to Apple lawyers ?

    She was so Blonde, she spent 20 minutes looking at the orange juice can because it said "Concentrate."

    When in doubt, read the FAQ.
    Then ask a smart question.

    Does Apple have a copyright to anything and everything starting with lowercase "i"?

    First of all, I don't think it's copyright, but trademarks we're talking of, and second it's not so much about owning the trademark, as "Can you fight them in court until you win?" - there are, in most countries, no law strictly regulating how similar or dissimilar a trademark must be to be a separate trademark. But I can assure you that Levi's will be after me pretty instantly if I started making clothes with the name Lewis or Leuis (even if I state that it's pronounces Loo-is).

    Calling some "iSomething" is plagiarizing a well-known Apple trademark, and it's using Apple marketing to promote another product. If it's COMPLETELY separate from Apples products, then you may have a chance (iCoke may work as a soft-drink [Coca Cola may have something to say about it, but that's a different matter], but something computer/music-related is probably going to court).

    Well, I was going to tell Apple about it anyway and ask for their permission. If if they dont agree I can always change it no big deal. So is anyone up to the challenge on being part of our team and help build this new virtual world with great ambitions still to come.

    Thanks

    Well, the price is still to be decided as of yet. All the programming has already being done, its just the matter of getting the source code written and putting it onto the compiler.

    That sounds like a contradiction, since "programming" oftens refers to the stage of software development where the source code is written.

"Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.
