  1. I'm sure spotify has been planning this for some time. Just good timing, but maybe there was some interaction.

  2. Check Out the Prosecution History, It's intersting on Did A US Navy Scientist Just Invent A Room-Temperature Superconductor? (phys.org) · · Score: 1

    So, go to PublicPair.com and enter 15/678,672 to see the Office's response to the invention. The Examiner has rejection the claims because they no known room temperature super-conductivity is known. The Inventor's filed an affidavit with their research paper regarding the invention. It's all public.

  3. India Landed On The Moon Too! on Israel Launches Spacecraft To the Moon (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    Crash landed.

  4. We buy stuff from U.S. suppliers and companies that, along with all their parent companies and subsidiaries and auxiliary partners, have employees that totals 450,000 which together support making their products in China.

  5. Re:Software already has IP protection on Software Patents Poised To Make a Comeback Under New Patent Office Rules (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    With patents there is the longstanding common-law Experimental Use Exception to Patent Infringement. As long as there is no explicit or implicit business purpose. So personal use for research purposes is allowed.

  6. Getting Deliveries When Not Home, duh on Amazon Buys Smart Doorbell Maker Ring For a Reported $1 Billion (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Ring is a mediocre device for a consumer, but for Amazon it's perfect for their unattended delivery service. But a kit with a video doorbell, and a smart door lock. When you get a delivery, the deliverer shows a unique QR code (unique to that delivery), the doorbell video authenticates, unlocks the door, package delivered, ensures the door is closed, then locks the door. Yey, reduction in human interaction/intervention for deliveries.

  7. NOT A GOD DAMN PATENT on 'Breakthrough' LI-RAM Material Can Store Data With Light (ctvnews.ca) · · Score: 1

    I am so sick of slashdotters throwing around the word PATENT and not knowing what it is. They filed a god damn PATENT APPLICATION. Get it fucking right next time.

  8. Obviously California has no Non-Compete Clauses on Seattle Tech Engineers Are More Loyal Than Those in San Francisco, Data Shows (geekwire.com) · · Score: 1

    Duh

  9. ITS NOT A PATENT on Samsung's Latest Patent Is a Foldable Phone (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    ITS IS A PATENT APPLICATION. GET IT FUCKING RIGHT SLASHDOT. I'm so sick of these stupid journalist who think an application and a patent are the same thing.

  10. Unenforceable Non-competition in California on Why Some Cities Get All the Good Jobs (chicagotribune.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Why does California have all the tech job? It is because non-compete clause are difficult to impose which allows talented individuals to roam around the industry. NAFTA took away the manufacturing jobs, but the high tech jobs are all still here, and they are concentrated in California mainly because of one piece of legislation: Edwards v. Arthur Andersen.

  11. Hi-res Displays Look Better with Flatter Designs! on Android 5.0 'Lollipop' vs. iOS 8: More Similar Than Ever · · Score: 2

    Holy crap, doesn't any one realize that the high resolution displays don't need shading and dithering to make objects look nicer. That was a necessary evil for low resolution displays to make things look nice and pretty. Tiles and objects on UI's are still the same size, but the resolution has double/tripled/quadrupled in some cases. So we don't need rounded, shaded objects any more. Flat designs look like crap on low resolution displays because we see the jagged edges, so shading was used to soften edges.

  12. When I was at the USPTO..... on Every Day Is Goof-Off-At-Work Day At the US Patent and Trademark Office · · Score: 1

    As an examiner it was the managers who were screwing over the examiners. The would wait till the last minute to review applications and then force examiners to scramble at the end of the quarter to catch up on work that managers weren't approving. Hell, after I left my manager took credit for my work that he wouldn't approve. That honest work would have netted me 2 promotions and a nice bonus. Using software to monitor examiner work is pure bullshit.

  13. No Ebook Reader Innovations on Have eBooks Peaked? · · Score: 1

    Once we get 8" ebook readers with flexible capacitive touchscreens and very light weight, we won't see any growth. These ebook reader innovation is stagnant so the ebook market is stagnant. Too much focus on Android tablets and Ipad development vs. eink tech.

  14. "Non-use" Clause on How Intellectual Property Reinforces Inequality · · Score: 1

    Innovation is moving faster than the laws. Just as in Trademark, one should have to prove actual use of patented material in the course of ordinary trade.

  15. Re:Why patent? on Patenting Open Source Software · · Score: 2

    You can register it to ip.com as prior art. Who may not want to patent something, but don't want their competitors to get a patent on it so they submit it anonymously to ip.com

  16. Too much lag on $5 Sensor Turns LCD Monitors Into Touchscreens · · Score: 1

    This is very cool and rather unique solution, but there is considerable lag between the input and the registration of the input. I don't see it being much useful beyond pause/play video or music or to wake up a computer from sleep. That being said, I love the spelling mistake in the powerpoint in the youtube video.

  17. Bluetooth 4.0 LE on From 'Quantified Self' To 'Quantified Car' · · Score: 1

    The only advantage this device has over other much much much cheaper variants is bluetooth low energy capabilities. Its also geared towards non-techies, so essentially not the slashdot crowd.

  18. Repeals Telecommunications Act of 1996 on Ask Slashdot: What Planks Would You Want In a Platform of a Political Party? · · Score: 1

    Unlock the swathe of dark fiber running through this country that telecommunications companies laid with our tax dollars and regulate broadband internet under the “rate of return” model.

  19. Re:KEVIN MITNICK! on 7 Hackers Who Got Legit Jobs From Their Misdeeds · · Score: 1

    He is self employed now, but after he was released from prison and was allowed to use a computer again he became a consultant. I don't think he was self employed at the time, but even if he was, as a consultant you get hired for your services.

  20. KEVIN MITNICK! on 7 Hackers Who Got Legit Jobs From Their Misdeeds · · Score: 3, Informative

    Come most you should remember the "Free Kevin Mitnick" campaign. He is the original hacker/cracker turned "consultant".

  21. Margi Presernter - SD to VGA device on Micro-SD Card Slot Abused As VGA-Port · · Score: 2

    I don't remember the details, but this device came out a few years ago. Only difference between MircoSD and SD are a few ground pins, right? The margi probably used a ucontroller for the signal generation, now that devices are more powerful, the software implementation is now plausible.

  22. Re:Yes They Are! on Hiding Backdoors In Hardware · · Score: 1

    Seriously? First my real name is actually embedded in there (Coward). Second, i've had that handle since the mid 90's. Third, I had an intimate relationship with an employee of one of those organizations. And they admitted not just PCI style intrusions. They described that most Chinese electronics, e.g. mp3 players, dvd-rom drives, thumb drives, all have some soft of malicious code.

  23. Yes They Are! on Hiding Backdoors In Hardware · · Score: 1

    Chins is absolutely doing this and the DoD, NSA, and CIA are aware of the activity. Honestly, they don't care about regular consumers, but govt. officials and employees are banned from having Chinese manufacture equipment during official business/work.

  24. F' privacy, ITS DANGEROUS on Inside a Full-Body-Scanning X-Ray Van · · Score: 1

    Look, I work in medical imaging, which includes X-ray imaging. I don't care what they say, the backscatter radiation imaging they are using is dangerous. Mark my words, if the tech become ubiquitous in airports, those with the most frequent fliers miles will have a greater incidence of tumorous growths.
