Owning an invalid patent is like having a forged property deed.
It's not worth the paper it's printed on, except for its value to a criminal.
I suspect, and hope, the Supreme Court refuses to here the case.
/. readers are also too highly technical to provide a meaningful response on what "average" users are interested in.
Though, frankly, "average" users don't read release notes.
Wide spaced keys are closer to a desktop keyboard layout.
Manufacturers consider this a feature, not a problem.
The smaller the laptop, the tighter the key spacing. If you want tight keys, you need to look at a small screen.
Most wireless keyboards have tight key spacing. You might look at those.

There is no such thing as a safe backdoor.
If it's there, especially if knowledge of it is public, criminals will get access.
It will drive everyone who has any sense to use non US encryption products.
Musk has done in weeks what the federal government was incapable of doing by any means.
This may have something to do with the idiot in charge.
It's also the first real nail in the fossil fuel industry's coffin. For remote sites, solar generation, with batteries, is cheaper that any other source.
It may not be long before you can remove the remote from that statement.
The EIA is a oil industry funded group!
Sorry, the whole premise the the US government is doing this is BULL$#1T
why did this get posted. This same crap was posted a couple weeks ago!
That is SO true!
Of course the altered footage never shows a beating. You can count on those being valid.
With current tech, the camera could be a button, or a shoulder pip, the cop might not know.
To be useful, they need to do a study where police misconduct is rampant.
Like St. Louis, or Baltimore.
At least the mayor of Cleveland had the guts to fire the cop caught on video.
if you were working for a company, your code is proprietary. You can't share it.
Simple answer: you can't legally share your code.
If they balk, tell them they are being unprofessional.
In 32 years I've never been asked to provide code. Good thing with the number of NDA's I've signed.
If they're asking you to write a code sample, that's a different story. Make something up.
If you need to have a secure site you can't use cross links.
Anything financial needs to have a secure site.
These "business" decisions are penny wise, pound foolish.
How many more CEOs have to resign in disgrace for the idiots to catch on?
Google did this by trading. They generate energy one place, use it in another.
Nothing wrong with that, but they're still dependent on other sources.
The fact that they generate as much as they used proves some pro fossil energy anal-cranial-submersion to the point of suffocation proponents need to move on.
15 years ago, I worked for a well known company, and wrote an innovative set of privacy algorithms.
Didn't happen, long story; but sadly typical
This is, to my mind, stupid. But the current generation doesn't seem to mind.
Need hearts and minds to effect change
Having written anonymizing algorithms, all I can do is cringe.
If you wan't privacy, don't opt in.
(At least google is giving an opt in)
Welcome to the Brave New World
This case has not gone to trial.
These are only pre-trial motions.
The judge you've sited is not the trial judge.
This case will probably never go to trial. All of this is just posturing!
Shady business deals? What's new?
Racketeering? That's a stretch.
He may have been screwed. Maybe not. This is a case of contract law, not organized crime.
The judge will laugh him out of court.
The police, or at least the DA have to be involved to file a racketeering charge. Not going to happen.
Unless you can get free or cheap wi-fi, a decent internet connection costs more than the tablet.
Perhaps this will drive making low price internet service available to low income households.
The author of this piece has an agenda, lying by omission. There are several large telescopes on Mauna Kea. The "sacred ground" is already highly developed. The new telescope will be built on the site of one of the existing telescopes, which will be remove.
The original plan was to build on a new site. The compromise is to build on an existing site.
The summit of Mauna Kea isn't sacred like a burial ground. The native Hawaiians never went there. It's sacred like Mount Olympus was sacred to the ancient Greeks (they never went there either).
Until the internet, dating services weren't free.
Now you give some info, and get something that used to cost real money.
you're getting something of established value for your information.
Trading information for a service. You're being paid very directly for your information.
perhaps the services aren't that transparent about how your info will be used. Be careful!
There are FAR more people employed in the sale and instillation of solar panel than there are in manufacturing.
Raising the price of panels will kill those jobs.
Stupid and shortsighted. Protect a few manufacturing job at companies that can't compete, and lose orders of magnitude more jobs in sales, and instillation.
The only way US manufacturing can compete is through automation. Which means almost no one will be employed in manufacturing.
"The International Trade Commission" is a US group, it has no international mandate. Enacting tariffs will result in the affected countries enacting retaliatory tariffs on US made goods. More US jobs lost. "Dumb and Dumber"
When I'm looking for something at Target, I go to their web site, and I can find the isle location where I can find it. Once I showed what I had to a Target employee helping me. They were amazed at the detail I was able to access. Along with a few other larger retailers, they've built a good site.
