Are there websites out there that allow common-folk to provide proof of prior
art to the patent office in regards to specific patents? I seem to remember a
link posted here on Groklaw a while back, but I can't find it (my imagination,
perhaps?).
Thanks.

In the recent Apple-Samsung patent suit, Business Week reports
that Apple did
not find out about the jury foreman's suit against Seagate until
Samsung
complained of it post-verdict. Apparently Apple found out about
Velvin Hogan's
bankruptcy on July 30 (after jury selection) but did not get the bankruptcy
file
until alerted by Samsung's filing. This blows up Apple's
argument
that
Samsung should have found out about the matter earlier, and that therefore
Samsung cannot complain about it now. ---

The New York Times has been studying Government Subsidies to
Corporations in the United States, and has put the information online.
Subsidies are usually granted based on a promise of jobs for the local
economy.
Canada also has subsidy problems. Caterpillar bought a
Canadian
locomotive plant which had received subsidies, and then closed it,
moving
the jobs and technology out of the country. Needless to say, Caterpillar
did
not volunteer to pay back the subsidies.

The theology behind a battle over
RFID tags
By now, you've probably heard the story: exemplary
student Andrea Hernandez has decided to fight her San Antonio high school's plan
to outfit every student with an RFID-equipped badge in order to better take
attendance and track students while on school property. (Radio frequency
identification tags are short-range tracking tags that can be scanned by local
readers, though they don't enable any sort of GPS-style location tracking of a
student's movements around town, at home, etc.)
Hernandez objects to the
plan, which the district instituted in order to better recover its daily
per-pupil funding from the state of Texas, on the grounds that it was a terrific
invasion of her privacy—and of her religious
liberty.
