A record 40% of all households with children under the age of 18
include mothers who are either the sole or primary source of income for the
family, according to a new Pew Research Center analysis of data from the U.S.
Census Bureau. The share was just 11% in 1960.
These “breadwinner moms” are
made up of two very different groups: 5.1 million (37%) are married mothers who
have a higher income than their husbands, and 8.6 million (63%) are single
mothers.
The income gap between the two groups is quite
large.
[...]
Other Key Findings
Both groups of breadwinner
mothers, married and single, have grown in size in the past five
decades.
The total family income is higher when the mother, not the father,
is the primary breadwinner.
Married mothers are increasingly better
educated than their husbands.
Most people reject the idea that it is
bad for a marriage if a wife out-earns her husband.
Today’s single
mothers are much more likely to be never married than were single mothers in the
past.
Never married mothers have a distinctive
profile.

Heading seems to be deceptive, but the verdict of the Hoge Raad, the supreme
court in the Netherlands, says that Samsung did not copy and did not violate the
design with the Galaxy Tab. Their conclusion says: The design is made up on
designs similar to that of other makers of similar products, including Apple.
Also they came to the conclusion taht an informed buyer would see the difference
between a product of Samsung and Apple, so that was also a reason to reject the
appeal, thereby confirming the conclusion of a lower court.
This will also give similar cases in Europe a new input, due to the fact that
this conclusion will be taken into account for running cases.
Caveat: there is the possibility for Apple to appeal to the European Court, but
if they take this step, it will be a few years later before we finally know what
is legally possible in Europe.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

What do you do when the USPTO grants a patent on something
that is literally nothing more than a translation into English
Legaleese from Latin, and French?
Seriously, the drawing are from a book published in England in
the mid 1950s. About a quarter of the text is a translation from a
book published in Latin circa 1600. About a third of the text is a
translation of a book published in French sometime around 1880.
The rest of the text is pure legalease.
The numbers used for the diagrams are either from a book that
was published in the early 1990s, or else a talk given at one of the
major conferences in the field, in the early 1980s.
Or am I, as an expert in the field of endevour covered by the
patent, not supposed to recognise the books that the cut and
paste came from, when writing the patent?

“The deficiencies in the warrants and, as a consequence, the
searches, were more than merely technical,” she said. “The defects in the
warrants were such that the warrants were nullities.”
“The warrants could
not authorize the permanent seizure of hard drives and digital materials against
the possibility that they might contain relevant material, with no obligation to
check them for relevance,” Winkelmann added.
In addition the Judge notes
that the warrants did not permit the police to ship the 150 terabytes of data to
the FBI.
“They could not authorize the shipping offshore of those hard
drives with no check to see if they contained relevant material. Nor could they
authorize keeping the plaintiffs out of their own information, including
information irrelevant to the offenses.”
Ernesto, TorrentFreak
Justice Winkelmann was appointed
a High Court judge in July 2004 and appointed as Chief High Court Judge in
September 2009 with effect from 1 February 2010.

If
carpenters were hired like programmers.
This would be funny, if it weren't
so true.
Also shows why lawmakers have no clue with software patents
either.

Should we label
them?
I'll have to disagree with the conclusion.

A thread about Raspberry Pi ended up on the front page
of Reddit today, and it’s a doozy.
There are thousands of people taking
part, and some Pi projects mentioned that we’d never even imagined people taking
on. Some of them made our little hearts swell with pride. Teaching machines for
schools in Ecuador, prosthetic knees in the USA, musical instruments controlled
by eye movements for disabled people, solar flare detection, wood engraving,
pocket-money analyser – there’s something here for everyone.
You guys are
brilliant.

Windows 8.1 brings variable, continuous size of snap views. You
will have more ways to see multiple apps on the screen at the same time. You can
resize apps to any size you want, share the screen between two apps, or have up
to four apps on screen. If you have multiple displays connected, you can have
different Windows Store apps running on all the displays at the same time and
the Start Screen can stay open on one monitor.
- Remove a lot of features
- Put them back
- Claim that the
software is a lot better now
