I’ve been reading around the innertubes that although Steve Jobs has been cleared of wrongdoing by the Feds in the stock backdating “scandal,” his problems aren’t entirely over because there are civil lawsuits pending.

The story, here, blathers on about pending civil litigation against Pixar, Nancy Heinen, Phil Schiller, Carl Perkins, Zager and Evans, Jimmy The Greek, Bobo the Singing Clown, and the inventor of GummiBears.

So far it seems Steve Jobs didn’t do anything wrong, and the price of the companies’ stock went up. 

From here, it looks like the Apple CEO has some turds to kick off the sidewalk, but they sure don’t look like hurdles from this angle.

Typing for InformationWeak, Alexander Wolfe hocked up a big lunger of old news and spit it. Apple isn’t allowing iPhone Apps to run in the background. This was big news, Marchish. About a month ago at WWDC, His Steveness explained the reasons and the coming fixes.

Uncle Al gets up on his back legs and hoots up a fuss over stuff that’s been covered, and re-covered.

It’s sad.

Over on ZDNet, Jason D. O’Grady offers the suppository that the reason Apple waited this long to sue Little Psystar is because they wanted finish up the iPhone 3G intro first.

Hard to tell why he thought Apple wouldn’t do both things at once.

Maybe he thinks Apple didn’t want to sully the introduction of a new product by being involved in a lawsuit. If this were an issue, Apple wouldn’t have introduced a new product in a long, long time.

Possibly, Mr. O’Grady believes Apple can’t pursue a lawsuit and introduce a new product at the same time. You know, during the launch Apple’s lawyers have to hang posters, maintain the rest rooms, and operate cash registers or something. “We’re going to file a lawsuit as soon as the lunch rush is over.”

Or possibly, he thinks Master Jobst Fimil doesn’t want the company multitasking. Typing and thinking at the same time.

I myself, me personally believe that the reason Apple waited three months to sue Little Psystar is the same as the reason women wait nine months after conception to give birth. The same reason you don’t get out of your car at Mom’s house until after you drive your car to Mom’s house. The same reason you don’t expect to be taken seriously when you don’t think about what you’re saying.

Schmuck.

John C. Dvorak has regurgitated a small volume of flame bait somewhere on the innertubes. If you go the MacDailyNews article with his name in it, you can find the link if you really want to.

The story is about the over-reporting about the iPhone 3G. No shit. A report about over-reporting a product, which he goes on to over-report about.

It’s almost certain he was paid for his fact-free bloviation.

I weep a tear for humanity when I consider that.

Time for my beauty rest.
