Cronkite Rolling in His Grave - CES tells CNET/CBS: You’re fired!
Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, January 31 2013 @ 10:13 PM EST
CES itself has put out a press release slamming CNET's behavior and announcing that CNET won't be allowed to produce the "Best of CES" awards anymore. Those awards are produced by CNET under contract with the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), which puts on CES. CEA said it will work to identify a new partner to run the Best of CES awards.

"We are shocked that the ‘Tiffany’ network which is known for its high journalistic standards would bar all its reporters from favorably describing classes of technology the network does not like," said CEA President Gary Shapiro in the statement.

dailymail.co.uk: The first ever e-reader?
Authored by: macrorodent on Thursday, January 31 2013 @ 11:53 PM EST
"Forward-thinking Ángela Ruiz Robles invented her Mechanical Encyclopedia in 1949 - more than half a century before the advent of Kindles, Kobos and Nooks."

(Of course not an e-reader but a mechanical reader. M-reader? The device as shown looks clearly impractical, but the idea is what counts, it was not her fault the required technology was decades in the future... Also note her device has rounded corners :-)

The Battle For The Stationary Cupboard
Authored by: ailuromancy on Friday, February 01 2013 @ 12:32 AM EST
Susan soon learned that "No one is to open the door of the Stationary Cupboard" was a prohibition that a seven-year-old simply would not understand. You had to think and rephrase it in more immediate terms, like, "No one, Jason, no matter what, no, not even if they thought they heard someone shouting for help, no-one - are you paying attention, Jason? - is to open the door of the Stationary Cupboard, or accidentally fall on the door handle so that it opens, or threaten to steal Richenda's teddy bear unless she opens the door of the Stationary Cupboard, or be standing nearby when a mysterious wind comes out of nowhere and blows the door open all by itself, honestly, it really did, or in any way open, cause to open, ask anyone else to open, jump up and down on the loose floorboard to open or in any other way seek to obtain entry to the Stationary Cupboard, Jason!"

Terry Pratchett

I think patent laws will have to be written by someone like Susan Sto Helit or we will end up with software patents being called "computer implemented inventions".

Nokia is leading the electronic firms within the Graphene Flagship Consortium, which includes 73 other companies and academic institutions from a number of mediums. The Finnish handset manufacturer has received a grant of $1.35 billion to research and develop graphene for practical applications, with the European Union for the Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) providing the grant itself.
