I am not talking about transferring credit. I have done that. It is a pain for anything not taken at a community college. I'm talking about an actual multi campus regional/national program. Something that turns classes into a commodity at similer schools.
When are we getting college degree programs not tied to a campus. I want to enroll at Midwest States University. Take some courses at Illinois State some at the University of Kentucky, some at University of Tennessee, and graduate with a BA after 4 years.
Ice doesn't mean cold water. Ice is solid water. Water is liquid, solid, or gass depending on temperature and pressure. There is alot of pressure at the core of Jupiter.
Google is a business. All your relationships with Google are business relationships. When you posted your videos you agreed to a EULA. EULA stands for End User License Agreement. An agreement by nature creates a relationship. The price you paid may affect damages if you won a lawsuit.
Most peoples internet connections don't do HD streaming very well. People who own a Wii are also less likely to own an HD TV than people who own a PS3. So it doesn't matter that it can't do 1080p.
I wonder if any phones will get more recent versions of Android because of this. Some phones may get moved from Ecliar to Froyo or Froyo to Gingerbread.
Ruling not about retouching photos. NAD doesn't care about using photoshop to remove models blemishes. This is about an advertisement that makes a specific claim about mascara increasing eyelash volume. The eyelash volume was made bigger using photoshop. NAD doesn't care if an advertisement for lipstick uses photoshop to make the eyelashes bigger.
If they don't have a copyright claim wouldn't this be Tortious interference? From Wikipedia
"Tortious interference with business relationships occurs where the tortfeasor acts to prevent the plaintiff from successfully establishing or maintaining business relationships. This tort may occur when a first party's conduct intentionally causes a second party not to enter into a business relationship with a third party that otherwise would probably have occurred. Such conduct is termed tortious interference with prospective business relations, expectations, or advantage or with prospective economic advantage."
This wasn't the federal goverment. "National Advertising Division (NAD) — the advertising industry's self-regulating watchdog"
It is a trade group that acts as a regulator.
The biggest downside with this is the risk for catastrophic failure. Who cares if you save on a few launches if you lose your entire station to a fire. Manufacturing is avoided on the station because it is dangerous. Keeping the station simple is a good way of keeping it safe. There is also the issue of quality control for your parts. A part created on the station will not have been tested the same way as a part made on earth.
How does it compare to scifi.wikia.com? It seems from the description that this encyclopedia is released in editions and is not user generated. Don't think I will be that impressed with it.
There may not be a private right to sue. It is possible that the goverment can bring the suit. That is why Fedflix is making a public stink about it and sending documentation to the Archivist of the United States.
I think Corey Doctorow expecatations are too high for Googles ContentID system. It is an automated system. It shouldn't be handling ownership disputes. This dispute can only be handled in court. If I were Google I wouldn't create a 1 click lawsuit button either.
Amazon isn't named in that suit.
The European Commission's investigation specifically targets five e-book publishers who may have been practicing anticompetitive tactics with the help of Apple and its e-book store iBooks. The five publishers in question are Hachette Livre (Lagardère Publishing France), Harper Collins (News Corp., U.S.A.), Simon & Schuster (CBS Corp., U.S.A.), Penguin (Pearson Group, United Kingdom) and Verlagsgruppe Georg von Holzbrinck (owner of inter alia Macmillan, Germany).
From what I have read on J.A. Konrath's blog the royalties and terms are better. The big downside is the exclusive ebook rights. Your book won't appear in the nook store. Konrath deal included physical book publishing with Amazon. So his books will be printed by Amazon. Personally I think Amazon is making a mistake with the exclusive books. This kind of thing will keep some people from buying digital. If they gain enough market share from it they could be looking at a Anti Trust suit.
A patent has a section where you make claims about your invention. In it you state things like. "This drug reduces blood pressure." "This drug cures cancer".
This narrows the scope of the patent. Here there were two patents.
1 "This Drug A reduces blood pressure"
2) "Using Drug A with Drug B is safer than Drug A"
Patent 1 has expired patent 2 still exists. The FDA states that the drug must be labeled stating Drug A should be used with Drug B. The drug company thinks patent 2 should keep generics off the market that are labeled like the above.
The FDA controls what label appears on the drug including generics. If the label includes a patented use then it is patent infringment to sell the drug as a generic.
Yeah but its more complicated than that. It is not price fixing if the Publisher sets the price. The publisher is the seller, they are allowed to set the price. Its only price fixing if publishers conspired together to set the same prices.
Amazon is allowed to discount the prices of physical books. Amazon isn't allowed to mess with the prices of ebooks because of the agency model. So Amazon discounts the physical book below the cost of the ebook. Then people get pissed off at the publisher or author. Amazons market share was built on being the lowest price. They lose money on some books to keep reputation as the lowest price.

Plenty of people sit in their parents basement all through college and have their parents do their homework, taxes, and chores.

Wouldn't this kind of think anger any judge who hears your case. It is harrasment.

The compiler part is an issue because Firefox is open source. They don't want to force the Firefox development community to upgrade to new computers.
Don't need to load the level or even the games code. Just need to stream the video. The next xbox could follow the Onlive model and be a dumb client.

Amazon has had hardware products since 2007. They have been in the tablet buisness longer than Apple has.

I like this metric better than the old "number of apps" metric. I'm sure all the wallpapers, quizes, and sound boards don't add up to many downloads.
