The popular travel website Lonely Planet is now owned by the BBC. Over
the holiday period it has closed its popular user forums. BBC
itself has offered no explanation to users other than the
blue screen message.
That has led to
side stories
elsewhere that
it's a kneejerk reaction to their inability to sanely moderate the site. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Record activations, 49% being tablets. Doesn't give a breakdown of which
platforms, but I'm willing to bet Apple is less than pleased with the numbers.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Pamela Jones of Groklaw
interviewed | Technology
| guardian.co.uk
Guardian
comment on the pj interview maintains their FM
theory of SEPs:Been
a long time since the phrase
"running dogs"
was used seriously in the western
media. The idea that you
could use the ownerships of FRAND patents (which
product
builders are obliged to incorporate) to force sales bans is
unpalatable, though - but that's what Google's Motorola and
Samsung are trying
to do in a number of jurisdictions.
It gets worse! Later on in the
comments section
Charles Arthur (their Tech Editor), in his reply to this comment,
below the article, seems to
impugn pj's
reputation by associating her use of
the term "running dogs"
with Chinese revolutionaries and 'propagandists'![ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

The settlement
is a victory for free speech,
said Scott Greenwood, who represented for free
the anonymous
bloggers on behalf of the American Civil Liberties Union of
Ohio. Anonymous speech has long been protected in this
country, he said, and
it's important to preserve that right,
especially when people are feeling
intimidated about an
issue they're commenting on. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Hello reddit,
I've been involved in many of Intel's flagship
processors from the past few years and working on the next generation. More
specifically, Nehalem (45nm), Westmere (32nm), Haswell (22nm), and Broadwell
(14nm).
In technical aspects, I've been involved in planning,
architecture, logic design, circuit design, layout, pre- and post-silicon
validation. I've also been involved in hiring and liaising with university
research groups.
I'll try to answer in appropriate, non-Confidential
detail any question. Any question is fair.
And please note that any
opinions are mine and mine alone.
Thanks!

"NDS also ran intelligence operations against pirate card
makers and against
New Corporation's competitors. They
infiltrated the internet chatrooms where
hackers would boast
about their achievements, developed contacts and recruited
agents."
"They employed former police detectives and
intelligence
operatives for many nationalities, including a former head
of
Scotland Yard's criminal intelligence bureau. These
agents used their contacts
with state agencies, bugged
phones, burgled homes, set traps and employed every
device
familiar to readers of crime fiction - with apparent disdain
for the
law. As in the high times of maritime piracy, one
man's pirate would be another
man's privateer."

Here come the design patents: new law boosts rights in shapes,
designs
The United States is already struggling to reform an
overgrown patent system. But now the President has signed a law that will make
it easier to obtain patents in shapes and other designs.
One of Apple’s
key weapons in its legal battle against competitors is a special type of patent
that protects the visual appearance of a product. Critics have denounced these
patents as a way to own “rounded rectangles” but we may have to get used to
seeing a lot more of them.
Last week, President Obama signed a law that
will increase the term and scope of so-called “design patents.” The law could
offer US designers a new way to fight knock-offs — but some fear it will strain
an already over-burdened Patent Office and make America’s troubled patent system
even more dysfunctional.

I've always been fascinated with wrongful convictions, since a girl I had
a
crush on did a presentation on Stephen Truscott back when I was in Grade
6.
This one gets a mention because Morrison & Foerster is involved in
trying
to get compensation for the poor guy who was railroaded in spite of
there being
no forensic evidence linking him to the crime!

CSI Games: If DNA Evidence Doesn't Fit in Orange County,

It?
It makes a fascinating read. One wonders why the judge is
still allowed to
try cases (follow the links, this judge has a really bad
record). You also
wonder why the DA is trying o build his own crime lab, when
he has one
that is already doing a good
job.
