Yea, it's not like we're talking about the RIAA here!

How so? The consequences should be to their manufacturer for selling parts to third parties if that is against their contract. I'm not sure if what this kid did was illegal. Unfortunately he doesn't have a lawyer and will no doubt settle, so we won't get to see what the courts would have said.

Evo 4G was in the first release.

Check out this huge ship careening uncontrolled toward the coast! Actually instead, here's some pictures of some crappy little boat that got in a fender bender.

Death Race 2000 anybody?

Correct. The proper term is "infidel."

And they bought gizmo5 already, which is a skype competitor that is better than skype.
