Oh, good. I thought they were going to bring in a battery expert to disprove the battery experts that work for the company who, according to Bloomberg, has the most advanced charging systems on the market. Whew! Dodged a bullet, there.
They made a mistake and they've owned up to it and are doing the right thing.
Thank you, Logitech, for listening to your customers.
Disclosure: I'm a regular EFF donor. They're a great org.
That said, I think if they announced convergence on all devices, released some really nice hardware (surface phone anybody?), and marketed convergence as the Next Big Thing, they could have made some serious in-roads in market share.
"Your all-in-one wonder device is ready!"

Now just marry the mutations to the GET/POST/PUT/DELETE operations of REST and I'll be smitten. No parent +/- node needed, and there are already a ton of REST libs out there.

Umm, no? Admiral created an account that they hoped would be mistaken as an official github bot or something. And then, instead of asking, they threatened disruption of the repository.
So, in summary, they:
* Tried to hide their identity * Tried to trick people into thinking they were Github * Threatened, not asked, to remove the site from the list
Look, I'm okay with them wanting to remove a server that helps inform users that they'd like to show ads on their customers sites. At the very least, though, be honest about it.
Also, bless the EFF, man. Heading over there to donate right now.
