When attorneys realize that they're seeking costs, they tend to ask for billed hours that they normally would write off. The hours were actually expended, but usually are not billed to keep the client happy. If you have a shot at having your opponent foot the bill, you do not write those off. The court normally reduces them. Of course, it should go from $114K to $68K so I guess someone really padded the bill.
Regardless of our biases, Sony has a good cause of action here. The company sold Sony a lock, and Sony sold the lock relying on the company's representations that it worked, and was safe to use. Then the lock exploded and blew the customer's houses up. Sony paid up, and now it's suing the provider for product liability.
The interesting angle here is that a software manufacturer is being held responsible for the failures of its software. It would be interesting if this suit was allowed.
Push mail is unavailable on the iPhone, along with support for SecurID. There is no Opera Mini, Google Maps, or Google Mail apps (not access via the web interface from Safari) for the iPhone the last time I checked.
Or "I do legal things I would rather stay private." As in, contraception, pornography, bad dates, choice in music, scratching myself (albeit briefly) in public, etc.
The Blackberry 8830 works with RSA SecurID, Google Maps, Google Talk, and Opera Mini. I can push my Gmail account to my Blackberry via the POP3 support. It's really awesome. And I'm not buying the software, so why do I care?
And all this functionality IS UNAVAILABLE ON THE IPHONE, YOU APPLEFANBOI!
I got a Sprint Blackberry 8830 last week. It's about the same size as an iPhone, but it has high speed Internet access, Blackberry push mail, and off-the-shelf interoperability with my firm's servers. The phone works very well, I can text people, and webbrowsing through Opera Mini is great.
Google would run an airline if doing so would give its computers access to all of the mail and data emanating from random users. Postini software screens the e-mails received by thousands upon thousands of employees of huge corporate entities. Depending on the licensing agreement Postini has in place with its customers, Google may be acquiring a huge database of mail to run its search algorithms through.
Yeah, those rape victims really should try harder next time not to get raped.
Unfortunately, we all know that rape victims are not going to be the major users of this drug if it ever comes to the market. It will be the new Prozac of this decade.
The iPhone has a larger screen that is touch-sensitive, and can handle widescreen formats beautifully (automatically senses the orientation of the screen). You would assume it would have longer battery life than a regular iPod if you do not use the phone/wireless functionality at all.
The French heavily partake in industrial espionage. That's why they know to be afraid of others stealing their information.
Incidentally, the United States used Echelon-obtained information to step in and break up an Airbus bid to Saudi Arabia. Airbus had bribed a Saudi official. Boeing could not pay a bribe because of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which creates severe criminal liability for American companies that bribe foreign officials even if such actions are legal or expected in the foreign nation. In this situation, the U.S. government stepped in and disclosed the information of the bribery to the Saudis. With no small amount of political pressure, the United States was able to get the Saudis to accept the "fairer" Boeing deal.
My Blackberry 7290 has survived multiple falls from 3-4 feet onto solid concrete subway floors, or hard-tile bar floors without being worse for wear. I haven't dropped it on any objects with protrusions, however, so time will tell.
The law firms probably did not rely on this website at all when making employment decisions. Interviews at law firms last for a few hours at most, and no one bothers to Google the applicant's name because there's really no incentive to do so (with sexual harassment training and everything, you don't want to get stuck sending photos of the applicant's revealing Facebook photos).
Discovery in this case against the plaintiffs will be interesting. The firms she applied to would probably have to answer why they did not hire the applicants. Lawyers are not stupid enough to trust what an anonymous web forum says about a person, contrary to public opinion. However, lawyers are pretty good at picking up antisocial behavior. If you read the complaint, one of the plaintiffs was unable to go to school and had to leave the country because of the website. Personally, I would not want to hire someone who could not separate their personal life from their work life, and I can't be alone.
The new kilogram ball is not meant for widespread use in laboratories. Right now, there's only one standard ball and it's impossible to make another ball that is exactly the same as that ball aside from a balancing act. (Literally.)
This new definition of a kilogram will allow each country or agency interested in having a ball to make their own ball with a very high precision.
Your proposal to bar all patent infringement lawsuits three months after the allegedly infringing devices reach the market is gong to lead to lots of frivolous suits. It takes more than three months to build a good case of patent infringement. You have to recognize that a competing product may be infringing. Then you have to take it apart and analyze it to make sure that it is infringing. Then you have to retain counsel to investigate the whole thing again, usually while hiring third-party experts because your employees will not make good expert witnesses (bias, etc.) Then management has to make a decision whether to commit a few million dollars to a lawsuit. If they do, you have to send a letter to the suspected infringer and offer a license; he needs a few weeks to respond and negotiate. In short, this sounds like a good idea only you don't think about the issue.
Anyway, patent damages are limited to the period after the infringer is actually aware of the patent (you sue him or send him a letter warning him of your patent), or constructively aware of the patent (there is a product on the market practicing the invention that is marked with the relevant patent numbers). This actually limits damages quite a bit especially for patent trolls who do not have any products to mark. And the eBay case teaches that it is harder to get a preliminary injunction in a patent infringement suit.
The parent refers to the following exchange from Arrested Development:
Tobias Fünke: Michael if I may take off my pants and pull my analrapist stocking over my head, I think George Michael may be suffering from what we in the soft-sciences call "Obsessive Compulsive Disorder", or the "The O.C. Disorder." Michael: Don't call it that.
Theoretically, in order to get a patent, you would have to enable a person of ordinary skill in the art to practice a quad-layer disc. Even if the patent issued, anyone you accuse of infringing the patent would hire experts to say that you did not possess the invention at the time you filed the patent application, and that you didn't describe the invention sufficiently. This requirement of enablement and written description is in addition to the requirement that the patent not be obvious, or anticipated by the prior art.
Incidentally, improvement patents are a normal part of business in patent law. As long as the improvements meet the requirements of novelty and utility, an inventor can improve upon the work of others -- that's what the patent system tries to foster, in fact. Disclosure in return for patent rights is meant to let others improve on the work, or even try to design around the patents (to practice the essence of the invention without infringing the patent).
You know how Firefox turn the address line yellow when there is a https connection? Maybe you can make it turn green and highlight the.bank extension to show the bank's name. You could also create a new icon that goes in the bottom right-hand corner to accompany the lock icon. You could create a bank icon.
Of course, browsers have to standardize on this, and of course, websites cannot be allowed to write on these areas.

I thought it was the backlight that kept on glowing. But it is impressive how well the optical glass seems to protect the screen.

I do not think so. Data plan is $40, which includes tethering.

And it only cost $225 after rebate.

Tell that to the Dancing Jedi Knight Boy.

How would the police officers know that there ISN'T another bystander recording everything on a camcorder?

It's a feature, not a bug. Firefox will cache the last few sites you visit in RAM so you can quickly move back. You can disable it if you want.
