I don't know what Honda offers for war ante coverage, but Toyota gave me an 8 year warranty on the hybrid part of my power train (battery system, hybrid energy system, etc). I wish I could get a laptop battery with an 8 year lifespan.
I think the trade off is while a turbo deisel or a 2 banger can get 50 MPG, you have constant emmissions on the Diesel (and here in the USA diesel costs much more then regular gas) or low power out of the ultra efficient engine. Also keep in mind supposedly US diesel is super dirty compared to what the rest of the world uses.
If you read Nintendos patents they go back to 1995 as well. Specifically the Japanese patent for the rumble pack.
Seems like it is a close call but Nintendo either beat Immersion to the punch or implemented a significantly unique design that Immersion cant touch them.
Since they actually submitted technical diagrams and designs I suspect Nintendo would win in court.
Nintendo does not need to fight it because they have their own patent filed before Immersions patent in question. Aparently they implemented a different design and have their own patent for it.
According to TFT, the patent covering 2 motors built into the controller, was filed around 1996 and kept having continuences placed on it so the final aplication was in 200 or 2001. Some call this a submarine patent since it is launched "under water" and has features added to it as time goes by, usually they seem to match common or useful advances made by others in the field.
Can you cite some proof that Nintendo had Immersion develop the rumble technology they use? All the patents I can find specifically are assigned to Nintendo, Corp. JP
The release of the Rumble Pack was in July 1997 along with Star Fox 64.
However the patent in Japan that seems to cover this device was granted in Oct 1995, I am having trouble getting the filing date, as the USPTO has only partial information.
Read this link for the US version of the 1995 patent. There is one other patent that is a continuation of this one.
I believe Nintendo patented a method both for the pluggable Rumble Pack as well as controller with the rumble built in. The reason Immersions scam cant touch em is they got a patent in first and Immersions method is different.
I may be wron as to who files first for patents, but I do know Nintendo was granted first.
Your cannon reminds me of the Pentax my wife and I just bought. 3 MP, 3x optical zoom, closeout price was $150 and the replacement model (4MP) is about the same as yours.
Takes good pictures and the guys at Pentax seem to have gone out of their way to create a good set of features intot he camera to help you take good pictures.
I gota call BS on this if it was LackLuster. The most Anime they had back then was Akira, and maybe tapes of Robotech. Wizards and Rock and Rule are not Anime.
Blockbuster never carried anything that would break it's so called "family" image, hence no adult section. I know this because I worked for the chain during the timeframe you mention and was well versed in operations.
MArketplace PM did about the same kind of puff peice, only interviewing people who infringe copyright and not a single person who shares legitimate stuff.

Nintendo did not license anyones technology for the Rumble pack. They have a petent of their own, I posted a link to in in another response.

wjay=what (dont ask).
From wjay I just looked up, Nintendo specifically patented the method they use and it pre-dates the specific Immersion patent in question.

Nintendo seems to have come up with it well before Immersion patented the process.

Reminds me of the Turbo Express. It also took native carts and had a TV tuner. Color nice machine, but sucked energy.
MRI (Management Recruiters International) calls it a time saver.

And lovely Flushing County Ohio. I cant remember where Fly is but I think it's an Ohio city.
From what I read in the scouring of the shire, I would not want to be on the wrong side of any weapon that is attached to an angry hobbit.
For all the cheese of Van Helsing, I think I liked The Monster that was shown there, I think he was more of a character then the rest of them.
The GC vid chip is not an ATI RADEON. IT is a different design made by a company that was bought by ATI, thats why ATI's name made it on the box.
This was well gone over back before the GC release.
And for a while Burger King kids club.
