Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

	http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/249914/china_may_widen_investigation_of_apple_ipad_trademark_dispute.html posted: More than 30 offices across China of a commerce regulatory body are investigating Apple's sales of the iPad in the country, according to the lawyer for the little-known Chinese company that has accused Apple of trademark infringement. Authorities in one Chinese city, Shijiazhuang, have reportedly gone as far as to seize iPad tablets from local merchants, after Proview filed a complaint claiming ownership of the iPad trademark. Proview, a display vendor that has filed for bankruptcy, has been locked in court battles with Apple over control of the iPad trademark in mainland China. Apple was dealt a legal blow in December, when a Shenzhen court rejected its claim that it had bought the trademark from a Proview subsidiary in Taiwan. This ought to be hilarious considering Proview has called for government intervention to prevent the import or export of iPads in China. You know, where they are manufactured. I love that the nation of IP theft has a court system willing to make the assist. But I'm sure this is an isolated incident that could never happen in other areas of manufacture... -----signature----- I radiate more heat than light.
