Or, if you are very confident in your patents and ability to successfully sue, go after the market leader so that when you win, the rest of the market will fall into line without much sabre rattling.
Cisco's payment and licencing sends a very strong message to those faced with this new series of suits.

yet us Canadians can't even see it on TV yet.

"Trains entering curves at high speeds are subject to centrifugal forces that can cause passenger discomfort. Typically, there are two ways to reduce centrifugal forces. The first is to improve the track curve radii or super elevation; this is a physical change to the tracks themselves. The second is the use of train tilting.
JetTrain high-speed rail coaches are equipped with a patented advance tilting system that allows the train to take curves at higher speeds on existing alignments. This improves travel times with no compromise in passenger comfort. The Bombardier advance tilting mechanism reduces centrifugal forces by almost 60%."
So why is the card only available for the T3 and Zire 72, and not other models with SD slots? The official answer from palmOne is: Following market and development-cost analysis, palmOne wanted to develop a Wi-Fi card that will be applicable to its Zire 72 and Tungsten T3 handhelds. These solutions require very tight integration between hardware, firmware and custom software, as well as access to propriety technologies for the level of tight integration necessary to give the customer an excellent experience. In other words it sounds like the differences between other models SD slots and other factors such as power draw and battery capacity, made is cost prohibitive to develop it for other handhelds.
hmmm, I'm thinking they are just pushing their newer products.
The department I work for is so underfunded that fully half our PC's (so around 300) are STILL running Win95b... 200 of the PC's are P166's.

The Wideband-OFDM also shows lots of promise: from patent holder Wi-LAN:
http://www.wilan.com/technology/main1.html
Wi-LANâ(TM)s Wideband Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (W-OFDM) is a transmission scheme that enables data to be encoded on multiple high-speed radio frequencies concurrently. This allows for greater security, increased amounts of data being sent, and the industries most efficient use of bandwidth. W-OFDM is the basis of the IEEE standard 802.11a, which is the foundation of the proposed IEEE standard 802.16. It is a patented technology in the United States under patent number 5,282,222 and in Canada under patent number 2,064,975. W-OFDM technology is currently used in Wi-LAN's broadband wireless access systems.
W-OFDM enables the implementation of low power multipoint RF networks that minimize interference with adjacent networks. This reduced interference enables independent channels to operate within the same band allowing multipoint networks and point-to-point backbone systems to be overlaid in the same frequency band.
you know, when I read this headline, I was wondering why the RIAA would be making such a big deal about a Canadian artist, David Usher (http://www.davidusher.ca/) former lead vocalist of the Vancouver band Moist (http://www.moist.ca/).
Then I clicked on the link and found it to be another crappy, overproduced rapper. No wonder the RIAA is striking out to protect this 'asset'.
I remember anxiously waiting for the following week's series of panels on Detonate's Matrix bastardization... I absolutely roared with laughed on a few of them.

-the record companies will stop promoting anything that might be experimental and push the brittanies and N'sync's in their quest for dollars.
-by not signing new bands to restrictive and costly (to the bands) contracts, more players in the indie scene will appear, more artists will take control of their own destiny
-CD's and mp3's will become promotional material available on artists' websites (already happening now) for the real money making venture - touring! (which is definately the place to hear your favourite bands)
Clear Channel and Ticket Master will be the corporate pimps in this new business model

The CIA had their fingers into this software prior to 9/11 - I wonder what logs they are looking at nowdays...:(
"Software that promises users anonymity on the Web has caught the eye of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency's nonprofit venture capital company, In-Q-Tel, which says the technology can help the spy agency fulfill its mission."
If you are wondering what 'mission' they are referring to:
"Internet May Threaten National Security:
Wars of the future may be fought with viruses and hack attacks, not with guns and bombs, studies say. During the next 15 years, the U.S. will face a new breed of Internet-enabled terrorists, criminals, and nation/state adversaries that will launch attacks not with planes and tanks, but with computer viruses and logic bombs, according to two reports released last month."
"Forgent and a national law firm, who has made and continues to make a significant investment to develop Forgent's IP licensing program, are the sole beneficiaries of the patent license revenue. "
So here we go, plugging up the courts in a grab for cash... I'd sure be interested in what the law firm's percentage is on whatever they get awarded/negotiate.
"The program will involve the millions of American workers who, in the daily course of their work, are in a unique position to see potentially unusual or suspicious activity in public places."
"Operation TIPS will be phased in across the country to enable the system to build its capacity to receive an increasing volume of tips."
