That was settled out of court. Very few trademark cases go to trial. Even companies with more money than god like Microsoft settle, In fact I believe Microsoft actually paid Lindows money to change their name.
The two markets for nintendo are school kids and maybe dorm kids. School kids generally have their own tv and parents don't splurge for HDTV so their kids can play nintendo. They watch sports and give the kids the small tv so they will be quiet.
Dorm kids don't have room for a big HDTV. Also most college kids move around and generally do not have large TVs.
I would've liked for the new Nintendo to support higher resolutions but I can see the reasoning.
You can't trademark titles of movies, unless it is a series of movies or tied into toys. You can trademark Star Wars, LOTR but you can't trademark Stealth. I believe the MPAA member companies agree to not name it's movies the same but there is no reason Joe Sixpack from releasing an independent movie called Stealth, a movie about ninjas.
Generally, because of first amendment rights you are allowed to use Trademarks in titles, unless there is some sort of confusion.
Not necessarily, it's called reverse confusion. If there are two users of the mark BMW, the more famous user may assert that it has priority. Or that there is a logical connection from a company that makes cars would naturally enter the market for making clothes.
It wouldn't matter as Aliens although mastering the art of space travel and anal probing, cannot master the simple feat of suriving the liquid form of dihydrogen monoxide.
You failed to capitalize English, therefore your post is invalid. Unless you meant that you read someone's poor pool playing skills. I'm starting to dwell how stupid you are, as the topic is about grammar not playing pool.
He probably wants to save and compress and offer them up on the internet to download. Non Firewire cameras have the added expense of an external bridges or imput kits.
That's a nice camera and all but I think the 5k MSRP on that will scare most people away. I like the idea of having multiple cameras. As if one is stolen or lost then you are not out 5k.
ECS is not very good, from my small batch of systems I built. There is a problem with bios corruption and Cmos battery issues. But you get one for free if you buy a processor from Frys. I have a broken ECS board. Shipping for RMA would cost more than just buying another processor at Frys and getting another free board.
yes, kudos for instead of supporting a big mean comgomerate like Amazon, you support your local Barnes and Noble and drinking your locally licensed Starbucks coffee and local Wifi provider.
I actually suggest if you are in the Seattle area, go shop at the University Bookstore, as they have free Wifi, free shipping, and their coffee is only sort of made by starbucks. Also 10% back if you are alumni.
In my tech monkey days during the dot com crash. There was a admin we had to replace he had a masters in History. We had over 100 applicants. Many of them with PHDs. So I can understand why someone with a masters in CS would want to aspire for a job that PHDs are fighting for.
But, you don't know who the customers of this type of software are. I never said open source is a pixie dust that will solve everyone's problems but it is something to consider. And just because this person considered it does not make him non useful or stupid.
I would be concerned if I was a manager at your company for not thinking creatively.
Software development is a sunk cost. Any other use of it is a win unless support costs outweigh the amount of licensing. If they sell 30 software licenses at 10k each then that is 300,000. Also that is 30 companies they will have to support. This may mean hiring more people. If the software usefulfness lasts 5 years, then hiring an extra programmer at 60k a year to do support will nullify the gain of selling the software for cheap.
What this guy is saying. The software is useful but opensource it, so other companies will use it, maintenance needs to be done can be done elsewhere thus saving the company potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars.
In return the company gets free advertising, and goodwill with other companies. And since, he is going after emerging markets, may introduce a way of entering lesser developed countries via a trojan horse.
I'm not saying its a good idea or not, but I think this person is a lot more intelligent and useful than you give him/her credit for.
Most people have a freezer regardless if they use it or not. If you move into an apartment, the freezer is there. An air conditioning unit is an additional purchase on top of the freezer. Now if someone does not have a refrigerator/freezer and is considering whether to get an airconditioning unit or using this freezer hack. Of course this is ridiculous.
If you buy an air conditioner, when the air conditioner breaks, you have all that chemical stuff you have to take care. So in that sense it is more environmentally friendly.
Company A makes these cameras, company B purchases these cameras for resale. company B sells these to consumers. Consumers have to come to company B to get them processed unless company C also processes these cameras. Company A holds a patent on disposable camcorder tech. Company C cannot process these cameras without a license from Company A. Company A knows that it cannot license to company C, because then company B will not buy from company A. So company A sells these cameras exclusively to company B or finds a way to sell to both company B and C.
Sometimes people start out as professional contacts that lead to more personal exchanges of email. Such as email me if you want to discuss our new project, by the way how is your daughter doing?

I believe the Aqua powermacs had an option for a built in super drive. It was a 1.44 mb and 100 mb combo drive. Or maybe i am remembering wrong.
At one point Apple came out with both Motorola and Intel processor computers. Anyone remember the Quadra 630 Dos?

His long life isn't due to radiation, more probably has to do with the fact he got bitten by a spider.

Thomas Jefferson was also a pedophile rapist slaveowner, patent squatter.
Yeah, sad that you have to buy a company you started in order to get a job there.
Company A makes these cameras, company B purchases these cameras for resale. company B sells these to consumers. Consumers have to come to company B to get them processed unless company C also processes these cameras. Company A holds a patent on disposable camcorder tech.

No, fighters create an atmosphere in a vacuum so you can hear sound in space. That's some crazy tech.
