...plaintiffs are forgetting by starting this tiff is that neither ConnectU nor thefacebook are new ideas. Poking aside, both are Friendster knockoffs made unique by their exclusivity and a few, college-centric features. (And Friendster itself was an imitation of other sites before it.) Though thefacebook and ConnectU boast improvements like multiple profiles and the ability to display class schedules to facilitate study group formation, the bottom line is that neither is very original. Zuckerberg had the know-how and put in the time to make thefacebook happen when it did. And nobody else can take credit for that...

...more incentive to shop around. Such statistics may well accelerate the popularity of crossovers, the new breed of bulked-up station wagons flooding the market that combine car and SUV elements. Built on car platforms, not on truck frames like most SUVs, crossovers ride lower to the ground and boast better maneuverability and gas mileage than truck-based SUVs do (though crossovers typically aren't rugged enough for serious off-roading). Many in the new class come with high-torque V-6 or V-8 engines and all-wheel drive for grippier road handling. With their lower centers of gravity...
