11 FedEx charged with trafficking drugs for Web pharmacies
FedEx is facing drug-trafficking charges after a federal grand
jury in San Francisco indicted the overnight shipping company,
accusing it of conspiring to deliver prescription drugs for illegal
Internet pharmacies.
Prosecutors say officials of the DEA and FDA and members of Congress
warned FedEx at least six times since 2004 that illegal Internet
pharmacies used the global shipper to deliver drugs. The indictment
says FedEx knowingly shipped drugs for two illegal Internet
pharmacies, the Chhabra-Smoley Organization and Superior Drugs. In
2003, the DEA shut down RxNetwork, one of the Chhabra-Smoley
businesses, and arrested Vincent Chhabra on charges of violating the
Controlled Substances Act.

12 FedEx Charged With Shipping Drugs For Illegal Online Pharmacies
Dana Farrington writes for NPR : Claiming innocence, FedEx by
Patrick Fitzgerald, senior vice president of marketing and
communications. He said FedEx would plead not guilty.
"We are a transportation company --we are not law enforcement. We have
no interest in violating the privacy of our customers," the statement
added. "We continue to stand ready and willing to support and assist
law enforcement. We cannot, however, do the job of law enforcement
ourselves."

14 Apple's "Thunderbolt" Trademark Approved but not Registered
Earlier this month Apple was granted another Thunderbolt related
patent. Wikipedia notes that Thunderbolt (code named light Peak) was
co-developed by Apple and Intel and made public in 2011. Apple applied
for the Thunderbolt trademark shortly thereafter and came close to
getting it registered. In fact in 2012 they were 30 days away from
approval before running into problems and since then Apple has been
trying repeatedly to get it registered with no success.

working together is success.
-- Henry Ford
The Dictionary is the only place where success comes before work.
Hard work is the price we must pay for success.
