This is somewhat related to this article, but not exactly, hence I'm posting in
the Off Topic thread.
Pacer shows some filings by Apple and Samsung in Apple
v Samsung II responding to Judge Koh's order that they streamline the case by
reducing the number of patents, claims, and accused infringing devices. (As
mentioned in this story on
Groklaw)
I'll leave it to PJ to eventually post the PDFs of the filings
so you can have them from a trusted source, but here is the gist, the list of
patent claims being dropped and being kept in the case by Apple and by Samsung.
I notice that unlike the streamlining that Judge Alsup required in Oracle v
Google, these are being dismissed without prejudice.

The pilots involved in the Asiana Airlines
flight 214 crash in
San Francisco told federal investigators
that they set the automatic throttle
controls on the plane
for a proper landing speed and then discovered to their
surprise that at the last moment, the plane had slowed far
beyond that
setting.
Why weren't they watching the speedometer? I use the
cruise
control on my car quite a bit on the open highway.
Even so, I take a moment to
verify my speed from time to
time. - Gringo [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Less than four weeks before an import ban on popular Apple products will take
effect, the iPhone maker is asking the International Trade Commission to stay
the ban while a court considers an appeal.
In a motion filed Monday
with the ITC, Apple said the ban, set for August 5th, will “sweep away an entire
segment of Apple’s product offerings,” and also harm its phone carrier
partners.

Way off topic, but you are my go-to guys for lawyerly stuff.
In the Zimmerman trial today, the judge asks the defendant, Zimmerman if he has
decided whether or not he wants to testify. He says he doesn't know yet (more
or less...).
The surprising part to me was that the judge had Zimmerman sworn in and
continues to ask him about when he will know whether or not he will be
testifying.
If she has him sworn in, isn't he already testifying? Do they usually follow
this sort of procedure in a criminal trial.

I learned today that 2 - 1 = 7.
It had to do with an un-anticipated
implicit conversion on a date with regards UTC and subtracting an hour.
I
couldn't help but think of the A&C math where 13 * 7 = 28.

BBC I don't see
anything there that will save M$, in fact the opposite is
true. The "One Microsoft" strategy would seek to bring together
diverse areas such as Windows, Windows Phone, Xbox, Surface, Office 365 and
others. Much the same as the failed Gates strategy, where he saw
Windoze on washing machines, where it was complete and utter overkill as well as
a nuisance, and on aircraft, where fortunately it was utterly uncertifiable,
otherwise the BSOD would have taken on a new meaning.He said:
"Today's announcement will enable us to execute even better on our strategy to
deliver a family of devices and services that best empower people for the
activities they value most and the enterprise extensions and services that are
most valuable to business," he said. So people are empowered by
vendor lock-in? I don't think so. What empowers people is freedom to choose what
they want to use, and that comes only from free and open data formats so that
files can be acccessed, read and edited anywere.I predict that Ballmer will
be gone within 18 months, as the death spiral of M$ is seen to accelerate
and the investors get even more nervous than they are right now. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

BBC That is not
going to save the company. Analysts who have tested the device said
that it was "without doubt" the best smartphone camera on the
market.
But they added that was not a guarantee that it would be a
bestseller. Pointless having so many pixels when the real problems
are the small, cheap and nasty lens that has to be used in phones, and the laws
of physics which work against small pixels at low light levels.(On the other
hand, 41Mp in a large sensor, with a good lens, in a proper camera, is extremely
attractive.) This is going to be yet another of Mr. Elop's Flops.
