More fallout from Jimmie Saville
Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, December 27 2012 @ 02:34 PM EST
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.

Tablets rule!

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.

The Guardian 'smears' PJ for her awareness of a "smear campaign"?
Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, December 27 2012 @ 04:21 PM EST
Boot up: what RIM paid Nokia, the dwindling PC future ... Plus 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'!

Ohio anonymous bloggers case
Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, December 27 2012 @ 06:55 PM EST
sfgate.com

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.

CPU Architect and Designer at Intel does Reddit AMA.
Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, December 27 2012 @ 11:35 PM EST
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!

Murdoch's Pirates ..
Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, December 28 2012 @ 05:41 PM EST
"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."

squarcles - now with patents
Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, December 28 2012 @ 06:20 PM EST
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.

[Moxley Confidential] CSI Games: If DNA Evidence Doesn't Fit in Orange County, Alter It?
Authored by: Anonymous on Saturday, December 29 2012 @ 10:47 AM EST

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!

[Moxley Confidential] CSI Games: If DNA Evidence Doesn't Fit in Orange County, Alter 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.
