If it lands safely and becomes functional as planned, THEN I'll get excited. Until then it is Schrodinger's probe... both dead and alive until it is observed. Kind of hard to get excited at this point.
I think it is a patent on searching for and showing unified local and web search results. And I think it is a mater of time before prior art shows up to invalidate.
Within hours of the update first rolling out on Sprint the.apk file for the original was circulating in the usual places. Sideload and install. If you are rooted it can be made permanent, otherwise you might need to re-install after a reboot.
What exactly are the criteria for being a "real artist"? Is there some sort of accreditation board? Is it a one time thing or would I have to re-new every year?
We have a principle in the US embodied in the Fourteenth Amendment of the US constitution, "no state shall... deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." Neither you or I or the courts get to determine who is a real artist for purposes of applying the DMCA nor should we ever want that to happen. When we start granting the power to decide to whom the law applies or not it would be the end of everything this nation stands for.
I tried it from a chrome incognito window, and the first result was a review site (toptenreviews), second was mozilla, third was chrome, and fourth was opera. In a non incognito the 3rd and 4th results were switched.
My mother-in-law can help with that. She is a veritable Blendtec of mixing metaphors. My wife gets pissed when I correct her, but I will not have my daughter speaking like that.
Actually that did change, there was a time when my previous comment was true, I just hand not kept up. Thank you for the correction leading me to further research the current situation.
Tom Doherty Associates, publishers of Tor, Forge, Orb, Starscape, and Tor Teen, today announced that by early July 2012, their entire list of e-books will be available DRM-free.
For Amazon the DRM is to lock you to their ecosystem, not protect the content per se. Since there are a lot of kindle users with a lot of kindle DRM ebooks, when it is time for their device to be replaced they will have to replace it with a kindle to access their old content (or break the DRM). There have been authors that wanted to distribute ebooks through Amazon without DRM and Amazon said no.
Kind of like 3-4 years ago when tech articles declared that mySpace won the social media war...;)
As long as some geek somewhere thinks he can build the better widget there will never be a single platform. A platform may dominate for a time but eventually will fall to a better one. I just want my purchased media to be able to follow me from one to the next which DRM generally prohibits.
FWIW, I've read many novel length works on my old Palm IIIxe at 160x160 pixel 3.35" (excluding the graffiti area) 4-bit greyscale. More on a Palm T|X 320x480 pixel 3.9" 16-bit color display. I now prefer to read on my Kobo eReader but still can read on my smart phone, and do if I'm stuck waiting in line somewhere without my reader handy.
While I have read Ender's Game and some of the sequels, I haven't read all of them. Plus the ones I have read were dead tree versions I borrowed from my sister. Since I might like my daughter to read them I may end up buying Ender's Game to whet her appetite.
Video is intriguing. I can just imagine what is going to be uploaded there.
Not the generic "Video" it's "Movies" and it is Google's movie rental service. Near as I can tell there is no uploading, although you would think they would wrap YouTube in there somehow.
An additional 2-milliamp current will be run through the pleasure center of the brain for every target correctly identified and eliminated.
In related news, application to sniper school hits a all-time high.
Palm didn't even have a tablet design when HP bought them. Palm had released the original Pre, had the plans for the Pre2 but needed the cash infusion from HP to actually get it produced.
They also changed CEO after buying Palm. New CEO (Léo Apotheker) came from SAP. SAP is an enterprise software company. Léo Apotheker is remaking HP into a company he knows how to run. Somewhere else (hacker news maybe, or precentral) someone made the analogy of a new coach on a sports team recruiting new players that play to his style rather than working with the players he inherited (aka it's a rebuilding year).

I assumed it to mean they were fed a diet of vegetarians. Go figure...

But still counts as prior art

Hooking it up to a portable back-scatter x-ray?

A trivial amount, there just are not that many "rich" people. I got nothing against means testing for SS but it would be a drop in the bucket.
