I know nothing about Podcast Ready or myPodder but Steve Rubel's post about this Wired blog post is ridiculous.

Are they kidding? Is Apple going to try and obliterate every company that uses the word 'podcast' or 'pod' in their branding, products or services? As far as I know Apple didn't invent the term podcast or pod for that matter.

It's a crying shame that Apple has so much money and so many lawyers stuffed in cubes in Cupertino that they feel its worth it to focus their efforts on squashing little guys over the words pod and podcast.
