The
England and Wales Court of Appeal have just published their HTML version of
November 1st
judgement of Apple's non-compliance regarding the publishing
of their 'first' acknowledgement.
"I hope that the lack of
integrity involved in this incident is entirely atypical of Apple.
"
Judgement

Didn't see this here yet.

ded-rectangle/
"On Tuesday, after review by a patent examiner, the United States Patent
and Trademark Office awarded Apple an additional design patent relating to the
iPad's "ornamental" design. The ornamental design feature encapsulated
in US Patent D670,286 for a "Portable display device" appears to be a
literal rounded rectangle."
Did I misunderstand something? Did I dream this? Don't know. Really.

It bad enough that the aliens have to put up with our inane
TV and radio broadcasts. Now they will have to deal with
all the spam in their email inboxes! But then again, I'm
sure they will be able to find some good deals on eBay.

Heh, comparing this test with the internet is a huge stretch. This article
doesn't even talk about the biggest issue that really makes internet protocol
unsuitable for satellite and inter-planetary communication. Instead, they make
it sound as if internet protocols we use cannot deal with "errors and
disconnections" :p.
The real problems with this kind of communications are the limited bandwidth
(due to energy constraints), and the enormous lag (Anybody know how to transmit
through a planet :p? Anybody know how to go faster than the speed of light
:p?).
The protocols we use on the Internet tend depend on timely replies on the
internet protocol (packet) level, which makes the enormous lag a huge problem.
Also, the bandwidth limits to conserve energy would be a no go for many services
we use on the Internet (even if you can overcome the lag issue) :p.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
