There's no content in the article about which four patents are at issue or what their significance is. There is a link near the start of the article to groklaw's coverage of lodsys and their patents. http://www.groklaw.net/staticpages/in

They don't need to sue anyone, but their customers have asked for protection as they are being threatened by Lodsys for using Oracle products, as far as I can tell. So this is a mixture of customer service, P.R. and flyswatting.

Unlike the situation with the PS3, the next generation of consoles are not going to be as powerful as their PC counterparts. And the current generation consoles have got keyboards and mice available, but have not imploded the PC gaming mark

Pringles ones are crap, but I can attest to the power of Illys based antennas, having done one exactly like this for a half mile line of site link to a public wifi hotspot about 8 years ago. Eventually I swapped it out for a sky mini-dish w

Not the sole cause of cultures' rise or falls, but one of the main causes of many cultures' fall, often due to those particular cultures becoming deeply interconnected and unprepared for large scale changes. The fates of individual polar ex

And if you must put on sunglasses you found on the street, do not stare at the skull headed people, point at the signs saying 'breed', or shut down the big weird radio transmitter thingy.

I think of this as more of Patent Law's 3d Printing Morass.

by ktizo 14y ago
Printing for your own use is non-infringing anyway, and a 3d model of an object is effectively a drawing of it and so therefore the creator of the drawing holds the copyright, not the holder of any patent of the object. Copyrights can be in

I think part of the judgement involved in going after Kim was in trying to find someone who didn't fit a nice cuddly image that was easy to defend. What they didn't apparently factor in was that perhaps he might be bright and better than th

There is surface water on the moon that is constantly replenished when the sun rises. Not loads, and most of it gets boiled off again as the sun gets higher in the sky, but it is there. Is formed by hydrogen ions in the solar wind reacting

I'm thinking about some metal tubing welded a bit like a splayed out capital 'H', that is the width of the bike and hinged along the middle bar of the 'H', which you can push forward with your foot and has a spring on it. Attach rubber ends

Some of the sentencing was also a problem, like the guy who was jailed for the crime of stealing Argos catalogues. (for those who are unaware, like the judge apparently was in that case, Argos catalogues are freely given away)
