"The court concludes that AUO has established by preponderance of the evidence that LGD literally infringes the patents asserted by AUO in this action, and that LGD has not established by clear and convincing evidence that the asserted patents are invalid," wrote Judge Joseph J. Farnan Jr., in a 77-page verdict.
Both are very well established and stable OS's (I've worked with both), but they aren't "consumer" products (unless you happened to buy the "like new" HP-3000 from Prof. Frink's garage sale).
Over the last several years the people at Palm created good software that was delivered on marginal hardware and sold via substandard marketing. HP has the hardware & manufacturing and marketing know-how to re-establish Palm's software lines. The real question is going to be "can HP bring the Palm name and/or technology back to the marketplace in time to be successful?"
What's strangely absent from "Thoughts on Flash" is any explanation for why proprietary technology on the Web is bad, or why free standards are good.
If Mr. Sullivan needs this explained to him then maybe he should hold his comments until he understands it. Does he actually expect *every* article, blog post or story to rehash this basic concept?
Will it be able to hit golfballs like the earlier astronauts? Will it plant a flag? Hell, will it even be able to right itself or free itself from its restraints once it 'lands'?
If they just want to lose a robot, they should send it down the Jersey Turnpike and see how it does in the truck lanes.
This seems like a natural progression down the line of diminishing trust between countries. It's not very surprising, especially since the Chinese government *may* have been 'supportive' of some of the China/Google hacking. It appears the downside of possibly endorsing or supporting security breaches is other people/countries/etc will suspect you of it from that point on.
I can't blame the Chinese government for wanting to have the encryption information... and I can't blame India for not trusting Chinese technology. Nobody wins when no one trusts each other.
That was my first reaction, but then I thought "âÅbee" which sounded like "maybe" and I thought that maybe HP will try to tie their new handheld devices to laptops as a "bundle". Then I thought "boy, that is the stupidest idea I've had in a long time"... which is why I fear HPalm might do it.
I would have much rather seen Palm go to Cisco. AFAIK HP doesn't have a lot of non-MS OS experience in their consumer devices. I wonder how they'll handle this.
My daughter quickly learned that Burger King and McDonalds had toys. That didn't mean I had to take her there. If she really wants to go to a fast food place and get a toy, I take her to Subway and get her a turkey sandwich.
I just love playing with those Subway turkey sandwiches. The best part is that when you're done you don't have to put away your new toy... you just eat it! Mmmm, funlicious!
Electronic computing device that is not made by Apple... handheld device that is or isn't Zune compatible... technilogical advancement that does not include Bob... I'm sure there are others.
Please answer all of these questions with a 'Yes' or 'No':
Are you familiar with Windows? (Yes / No)
Is Linux a computer operating system, a breed of penguins or some guy from Europe? (Yes / No)
When was the last time you rebooted your computer? (Yes / No)
Have you ever had a password you wouldn't share? (Yes / No)
Do you know enough about computer security not to watch porn at work unless it's at lunch or a boring meeting? (Yes / No)
What is the name of your first pet, the town you grew up in or your elementary school? (Yes / No)
Do you post on Slashdot? (Yes / No)
Regardless of what the cause is, if people aren't going to take steps to protect themselves, and if the government has an obligation to protect its people, then the only solution is regulation.
At some point personal responsibility comes into play. If people are not going to protect themselves, or their personal data, then they need to rethink their priorities. If they post anything and everything about their lives on the internet then either they don't care or they don't understand. Does that mean the government should legislate that they be 'educated' about these facts until they 'understand' them?
I'm not a fan of FB or it's social 'fishing' experiment in data mining, but people need to understand that 'privacy' starts at home. If you make everything public you can't cry about it when everyone can read it.
Who is it?
Not a land shark Who?
Oh, for Christ sake, it's Steve F'ing Jobs. Give me my phone back or I'll send the Steve Balmer Chair Delivery Service to wreck the place!
And you expect most Facebook users to discern that difference? To them it will be 'Big Government' telling their Facebook how things should be & stepping on their social networking rights...
How long before a "Stop telling us how to use Facebook, you Senators, you!" group shows up on Facebook? Hmmm, maybe I should have checked before posting this?
... is another Google-like IE 6 attack. I'm not saying this should happen to Google again, just another large public company. That type of press coverage is the only way to get the attention of top brass.

You didn't mention any DRM ... won't someone think of the DRM?

I'd be more interested in a response from Xiph on Job's email concerning Theora.
They have a comment from him here.

The article doesn't mention which patents were "invalidated". Oh well, at least Red Hat & Novell were victorious.
Now you will have an excuse to replace all that crappy old networking equipment "because it does not work with the new secure internet".
I still support 7-bit ASCII, you insensitive clod!
The Australian Christian Lobby can go fuck themselves sideways with a 40-foot barge pole.
I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this, but I believe they've already banned that.
Fucking morons.
Ooh, that one too. Sorry, but thanks for understanding.

What Microsoft Patents does Android infringe on?
Let's see ...
... handheld device that is or isn't Zune compatible ... technilogical advancement that does not include Bob ... I'm sure there are others.
Electronic computing device that is not made by Apple
Don't you?
Sorry. I had chili for lunch. I'll open a Window ...
HTC is hedging their bets (a smart move), but will this lead to disparate Android UI's between platforms?

Clearly it shows that he was expecting some one to beat the passwords out of him or just steal them.

In all seriousness, WTF Apple? Surely this isn't why you strong-armed developers into switching to XCode, is it? To produce this?
