Wow... Apparently I need to re-read Foundation. This trailer bears no resemblance to what I imagined or envisioned the story to be.

Apple needs to step up or this will result in yet another lawsuit... potentially class action. I have worked on industrial designs where we had to take significant precautions to prevent cracking of a clear plastic lens. While a notebook computer…

Hmmm... both of my kids have a BittBoy for playing retro games. At $179, the price is rather steep too. I am not sure what problem this device is trying to solve, or what niche it is trying to fill.

Some of these suits baffle me. My memory of patent law is ideas cannot be patented, only the specific implementation of an idea. Dolby labs patented their method of tape noise reduction, but could not patent the basic idea of noise reduction. dbx…
