The device sports a 336 MHz processor, 2GB of flash memory, microSD
slot, head phone jack, USB device and 850mAh Li-ion battery. It boots Linux
out of the box and also boots over USB. It’s targeted squarely at developers who
see the promise of open hardware and want to roll their own end user
experience.

This LinuxInsider article is still touting Oracle's BILLIONS of damages for
the 9 lines, which is really 3 statements + a header.
Oracle's Java Case Takes Another
Battering With API Ruling
In particular, this is one of the leading
paragraphs:
Further, the nine lines of Java code Google was found to
be responsible for having used in Android could cost it well over the US$1
billion in damages Oracle had originally sought.
I thought
LinuxInsider would do better than continue to repeat the billions of dollars in
damages mantra, especially given the Judge's statements on the
matter.

Rep Howard Berman (D-CA) is pushing his record on "Intellectual
Property" as a reason to vote for him.
To me, that's just another reason not to do so.

Venus will block out some sunlight on Tuesday and
Wednesday. The start of
the transit will be visible
from the USA on Tuesday at sunset. Japan gets the
entire
transit. The UK gets the end of it on Wednesday at
sunrise (might not
be cloudy :-). Sorry South America,
you have to wait for the next one in
2117. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

According to Cnet.com, two of our favorite bullies are now going to be fighting
each other over patents:

| Sometimes you read a news story that is just so weird, you
have to link it here...
A Dutch artist owned a cat named Orville (after
Orville Wright, one of the two brothers credited with building the world's first
successful airplane). His poor cat was run over by a car and killed. So he
decided to get it stuffed by a taxidermist, and with the help of an RC
enthusiast, he then turned it into a remote-controlled flying quadrotor
helicopter.
There's pictures, and youtube video, and everything. The
determined expression on the cat's face is just awesome. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
