the largest government class-action settlement in American history, with more than 300,000 beneficiaries.

Elouise Cobell, whose Blackfeet name was Yellow Bird Woman and who has died aged 65, sued the United States government for billions of dollars plundered from American Indian lands – and won. 

14 years; 3,600 court filings; 220 days of trial; 80 published court decisions and 10 appeals, Elouise Cobell's campaign ended in victory in 2009.

A Sister’s Eulogy for Steve Jobs

What it's Really Like Working with Steve Jobs

Some cybercriminals created a Facebook page called "R.I.P. Steve Jobs", and innocent people have been joining by the thousands. In just a few hours it had more than 90,000 fans. Criminals published a link using the popular shortener service bit.ly, where they said that Apple will be giving away 50 iPads.
Of course all the stuff is a scam, and once you click to that URL (which ended with "restinpeace-steve-jobs") you were redirected to a place where you are offered a number of gifts, such as iPads, Sony Bravia TVs. For that they ask for your information, such as Full Name, Address, Phone Number, e-mail address, etc.
Facebook has closed the page and bit.ly has done the same with their link. There are some really interesting statistics. Out of those > 90,000 fans, 25,669 clicked in the link provided by the criminals! (from Rick Ford -Macintouch)
