Under the Bar has an excellent explanation of what happened in
Mississippi and it doesn't match the reporting in the media.

Interesting because it involves the conduct of the jury in the jury
room."Can a juror come to a verdict based on a reason that was not
presented in court and has no facts or evidence to support it either from the
prosecution or defence?" OK, this was a criminal trial, nothing to
do with patents, but it does remind me very much of a certain case which we saw
here on Groklaw, where a rogue juror did indeed introduce his opinion, which was
actually incorrect anyway, in addition to the facts presented in court.BBC [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

"Nasuni, a Natick-based maker of software that provides data storage as a
service for enterprises, said Tuesday it has raised a $20 million Series C
round led by an unnamed strategic investora".
"Also taking part in the
Series C round were previous investors Flybridge Capital Partners of Boston,
North Bridge Venture Partners of Waltham and Sigma Partners of Boston".

Border agents don’t need probable cause and they don’t need a
stinking warrant since they don’t need to prove any reasonable suspicion first.
Nor, sadly, do two out of three people have First Amendment protection; it is as
if DHS has voided those Constitutional amendments and protections they provide
to nearly 200 million Americans.
Those numbers come from the ACLU’s
estimates of how many people live within 100 miles of the United States border,
since Homeland Security’s Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties (CLCR)
concluded that border searches of electronic devices do not violate the Fourth
Amendment. Previously, the ACLU called this area the Constitution-Free
Zone

Understanding how and why diversification occurs is important for understanding
why there are so many species on Earth. In a new study published on 19 February
in the open access journal PLOS Biology, researchers show that similar—or even
identical—mutations can occur during diversification in completely separate
populations of E. coli evolving in different environments over more than 1000
generations. Evolution, therefore, can be surprisingly predictable.

The newest version of Windows installed on it — Windows 8 — will not run old
DOS-based (Disk Operating System) software without the use of an emulator
program such as DOSBox, which the Frankenfields said will not run
WordPerfect.
My suggestion is they keep their old computer with Windows XP
and WordPerfect for whatever uses they need.

The long-awaited makeover of Yahoo.com’s home page is the most notable change to
the website since the Internet company hired Marissa Mayer as its CEO seven
months ago. The new look debuted Wednesday in the U.S., although it could take a
few more days before everyone starts to see it.

Since Twitter doesn’t want patents to impede the innovation of
others, we developed a new type of patent agreement between an inventor and a
company: the Innovator’s Patent Agreement
