PS2 Controller Suit Goes Badly For Sony
Immersion Corp, which owns the patent on 'rumble' technology, has won another round in its suit against Sony. Sony's 'dualshock' controller has used rumble technology for years, and in 2005 a judge awarded $82 Million to the patent-holder in payment. From the article: "Sony's defence was the alleged nondisclosure of some of the inventions of key employee Craig Thorner. who has been a consultant both for Immersion and subsequently for Sony. But, according to the report, U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken was unhappy with Thorner's testimony supporting Sony, given that he had also been paid by Sony, and so dismissed this line of defence."

Evangelical broadcaster Pat Robertson said Monday on his live "700 Club" television program that Islam wants to take over the world and is not a religion of peace, and that radical Muslims are "satanic."
After watching a news segment about radical Islam in Europe, Robertson remarked that the outpouring of rage elicited by cartoon drawings of the prophet Muhammad "just shows the kind of people we're dealing with. These people are crazed fanatics, and I want to say it now: I believe it's motivated by demonic power. It is satanic and it's time we recognize what we're dealing with."
He also said that "the goal of Islam, ladies and gentlemen whether you like it or not, is world domination."
> Robertson obviously has confused a religion with a war monger.

Havine one unbalanced weight is "obvious", but adding a second is patent-worthy?

To a techie hobbyist guy that gets an idea occasionally, the US patent system seems intimidating. Or at least expensive. But then it there's all these people/companies out there patenting every possible iteration of generic things like "video goggles"... gorsh. I dunno.
Another overrated modding for a post of mine that hadn't previously been rated, courtesy of my Slashdot nemeses. Can't you guys think of anything original?
Wait, let me guess: -1 Offtopic, right?
You guys are so predictable it's not even funny.
