  1. Senate Committee Follows Suit on Patent Reform Bill Approved by House Committee · · Score: 3, Informative

    The Senate Judiciary Committee passed their own version of the bill (S. 1145) yesterday afternoon. The bi-partisan bills now move to a vote in the full House and Senate. Trolls beware...

  2. Re:Those who can, do. on RIM Rejects More Patent Infringement Allegations · · Score: 1

    Wait a minute... I read the story and these guys seem like a different animal than NTP. They have contracts with major carriers to sell the product and claim to employ 400 people. If I remember correctly NTP just bought their patents and went hunting--without running a traditional business. If these guys actually invented this stuff as they claim, and have been making a go at it for 10 years, you'd think entrepreneurial folks on this board would support them.

  3. Best Collection Method? on Faster DNA Testing · · Score: 1

    I would be happy to leave my DNA sample in the hands of a stewardess!

  4. Re:Individual rights vs. business rights on iTunes Might Lose Labels · · Score: 1

    What if the individual entrepreneur is organized as a C corporation? Corporations themselves are not evil; they are a form of business entity.

  5. High Security Areas Fuzzed Out on Google Adds Satellite Imagery to Maps · · Score: 2, Interesting

    As a DC resident I noticed that the White House and Capital are presented without detail and fuzzed out. Check it out with zip code 20513. What's missing in your town?

  6. Peter Hamilton on Do You Want to Live Forever? · · Score: 1

    British Author Peter Hamilton has explored the possibility of super extended lifetimes through repeated rejuvinatons in his novels Misspent Youth (2002) and Pandora's Star (2004). The procedure leads to lots of randy old people packed in teen bodies. Bring it on.

  7. A telling story on VIA Announces Lead-Free Motherboard · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The House Small Business Subcommittee on Regulatory Reform and Oversight held a hearing today on "Green Gazelles." The term is used to describe a fast growing business that utilizes environmentally friendly processes in its operations. Look for this trend to contine as a niche market for consumers who are willing to pay more for "green" products. Of course, there is no official certification to determine whether your business is "green" or not so feel free to turn off some lights in your store and advertise away!

  8. Pay more for a limited product? on Downloaded Music Gets More Expensive · · Score: 1

    Why would I want to pay more for an album from the Apple music store than a copy from Amazon when Apple places restrictions on how I can use the music?
