Off Topic but on topic too
Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, April 29 2013 @ 05:50 PM EDT
Just a thought (so few to sort through):). What if RAND or FRAND was appied to
the **IA? Instead of $100K judgements the price would be a portion of the cost
of the product. Just a random thought, probably couldn't go that direction.

BT trolling small SIP users over US patents
Authored by: Anonymous on Tuesday, April 30 2013 @ 08:12 AM EDT
The former British state telecom monopoly is going after smaller SIP operators over US patents covering parts of this VoIP standard. Some comments are asking why some of the patents appear to have been applied for later than the standard that supposedly infringes them. Article

Project Open 4.0 can now round trip to MS Project
Authored by: tiger99 on Tuesday, April 30 2013 @ 12:05 PM EDT
The H

So, now project management is one more area where you no longer need Windoze.

The developers of Project Open, an open source enterprise project management package, have announced they are releasing version 4.0 of the software application after extensive testing of the release candidate. Among the new interoperability features of the package is the ability for projects to be imported into Project Open from Microsoft Project, edited in Project Open and then exported back to Microsoft Project. The software now has a configuration wizard to simplify integrating Active Directory and SharePoint, which will allow projects to store their documents on a SharePoint server.
But why bother integrating with Swarepoint? Not that I should really complain of course, obviously this is a great piece of work, and hopefully will become very popular.

Patent Problem: Those willing to abuse their patent
Authored by: Anonymous on Tuesday, April 30 2013 @ 01:31 PM EDT

One of the big problems I see with Patents is that there are those Patent Lawyers willing to argue the four corners of the patent well beyond what the USPTO has granted a patent on.

In other words: they're willing to abuse their intellectual property grant and claim a grant on a much bigger piece then they were actually granted.

It's a bit lengthy, so I'll attach my proposed solution to this post.

Obama to nominate cable lobbyist to head FCC
Authored by: symbolset on Tuesday, April 30 2013 @ 03:43 PM EDT

The story is on Mashable. Also reported in the Wall Street Journal.

This may be a disaster for folks who want to see rapid growth of Google Fiber, or any improvement in the broadband situation. In addition to wireless spectrum, television and cable, the FCC regulates broadband Internet.

The British incumbent is offering to allow third parties to use the Session Initiation Protocol under a license agreement published here" link
