Apple is known for being a little lawyer happy in respect to keeping their "iproducts" safe and sound. They have shown much dismay and aggression for Samsung who they accuse of "ripping off" ideas from patents, trademarks, and trade dress registrations. Very odd to me that the South Korean based Smasung would take this lightly as they sell some integral pieces of top selling apple products like the iPhone and iPad. Moreover, Where is google in all of this? The have managed to keep their noses clean and out of Apple's black book while working with a number of the companies that Apple has sued in the past for similar reasons.

Riot Games: Work Harder, Play Harder!
Riot Games has been featured recently in The St. Louis Business Journal in regards to expansion, growth, potential and becoming a core player in the gaming industry. The LA based company has opened an office in the St. Louis, MO area and added 10 new employees under Scalability Architect Scott Delap. The plan is to hire an additional 20 more this year alone! The move to St. Louis is welcomed by the area IT talent as Riot Games spokesman Chris Heintz said, "St. Louis has tech talent and plenty of engineers. We certainly want to grow the game scene here." The St. Louis office will be a great addition to the already 200 employees and 120 to come.
The most impressive portion of the article was the time lines that Riot Games has grown into the one of the world's most valuable start ups. Founded in 2006 and already valued at $250 million with an estimated revenue of $50 million. These projections are only predicted to grow with Chinese powerhouse Tencent, a $50 billion company, becoming the majority investor in a deal said to be worth more than $350 million. With the pipeline into the Chinese market there is nothing stopping Riot Games from continuous growth in a ever growing market!
Congrats Riot Games; we all look forward to seeing your continued success!

Gosling Going Google!
That's right! James Gosling, best known for creating the programming language Java, has accepted an offer to work with Google. One might say "So What!" or "Who Cares?" but this is a pretty big deal. Creating a programming language is not and every day, month or year occurrence. Any true IT'er should know and realize the reach and the flexibility "Java" goes into many areas of IT. Some of the most common companies, and games and phones are all ran on a Java platform.
Now the man that brought Java to the world will be working for the company that brings so many new things to the world every day. I ask; what is next? What on earth could they, Google, be working on that needed James Gosling's attention? Better yet, what are they working on that grabs James Gosling's attention?
I am very excited to see the new and innovative things that the teaming of Gosling and Google will bring to the industry. Good luck Java Man!
