    Good try, but in fact the reverse is true: APM is deprecated, and ACPI is the new standard.

  13. Possibilities are few =( by jeremyf · · Score: 2, Insightful · on Electronic Paper

    This doesn't seem exciting to me compared to OLED (Organic LED).. OLED is also supposed to be cheap (although there are no good estimates for either technology) but production is already getting started and it already uses very little power.

    The major selling point for e-paper is that it is "bendable"... eg, you can make a t-shirt out of it :) They'd have to get the power consumption really low, like the article said, for it to be more worthwhile for "flat" technology (eg, holodeck walls) than OLED.

    Philips' e-paper will probably have a monopoly in Internet basketballs though.. :-\

    It may be unenforceable, but -- given that you've "agreed to the terms", it essentially puts you on the defensive, instead of them. If you go to court, the initial question is probably going to be "you agreed to it, so why should we ignore it", rather than "Are they trying to fleece you?".

    All of a sudden a probable slam-dunk becomes quite non-trivial.

    IANAL -- but I like pissing them off.
