    Fluke trademarks the color yellow

    Sparkfun (where I buy my Raspberry Pis) was informed that their shipment of DMMs (digital multimeters) was impounded by customs because they were yellow, and apparently Fluke (a big name in DMMs) has decided yellow is its color.

    Right up there with Apple's round corners.

    So Sparkfun has to have 2,000 newly manufactured DMMs destroyed. Let's hear it for reduction of electronic waste.
