So far the only company with an E, the worst possible rating, is TwitPic, which reserves the rights to sell users’ photos to news agency without giving the photographer a cut.

Twitter will be limiting the amount of users that can use third-party Twitter apps. Basically client apps like Tweetbot and Twitterific now have a Twitter-enforced ceiling on how many users it can have. It's Twitter walling in and limiting every other Twitter app not made by Twitter.

This is very broad and will bite more services and apps than you may expect. It’s probably the clause that caused the dispute with LinkedIn, and why Flipboard CEO Mike McCue just left Twitter’s board.

"I wanted to send a note that by the end of the day today, OnLive as an entity will no longer exist. Unfortunately, my job and everyone else's was included.

Google Inc. (GOOG)’s Motorola Mobility unit said it filed a new patent-infringement case against Apple Inc. (AAPL) claiming that features on some Apple devices, including the Siri voice-recognition program, infringe its patents.

There’s been a lot of fear, uncertainty and doubt generated by Twitter’s latest announcement. I wanted to let everyone know that the world isn’t ending, Tweetbot for Mac is coming out soon, Tweetbot for iOS isn’t going anywhere. So sit down, grab a towel and let’s go over some of these API changes.

AT&T technically won't charge extra to use FaceTime over 3G or EDGE after all, according to a statement issued on Friday. Not everyone will be able to start video chatting with other iOS and Mac users for free, though—the company plans to require FaceTime aficionados to pay for a "Mobile Share" data plan if they want to make video calls over the cell network.

Update (Thursday, August 16): The original story (above) was published on Wednesday evening. The Wall Street Journal is now offering new details on Apple's alleged vision for its set-top box, which Apple hopes to use to "erase the distinction between live and on-demand content." Users will reportedly be able to start any show at any time, and the UI is said to resemble icons on the iPad.

Apple is reversing changes to the formula used to calculate staffing levels at its retail stores, according to a Dow Jones news report. An experiment using new formulas had apparently led to wide-ranging layoffs and cuts in assigned hours. However, Apple's new retail chief John Browett said the company "messed up" implementing the changes in the first place, and is hiring new staff to keep its stores prepared for a potential flood of customers next month.

Following the expiration of Facebook's lockup agreements rules Thursday, Facebook’s stock price has continued to drop, reaching an all-time low. Many early investors likely dumped some of their shares, significantly expanding the number of shares eligible to be traded, which marks yet another rough patch for Facebook in its first several months as a public company.
