Goldman Sachs.

I'm confused. Bloomberg and others had these documents
already, they just didn't release them because Goldman
claimed confidentiality. But it sure sounds like the
documents show that Goldman was engaged in criminal violation
of securities law, not to mention simple fraud. There's no
confidentiality protection for criminal conspiracy. Why not
make that argument, or at least turn over the documents to
prosecutors?

The linked article is 1 year old. May 15th. So where are all the criminal
proceedings resulting from this?

Bowman vs Monsanto Opinion

Supreme Court opinion for Bowman vs Monsanto.

Side note: I love the fact that the Supreme Court has been creating public pdf's and making them available - for free - to the public.

Samsung & 5G
Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, May 13 2013 @ 01:57 PM EDT
clicky

As there is not 5G standard how do they know that 'theirs' will be anything like what is adopted by the ITU?

How Do they know that the various Governments around the world will open up this frequency to them and others to use?

Won't they be patenting the bejabbers out of this tech so we will be into all the FRAND law suits again?

I'm not berating the progress but frankly

putting dates against the introduction of the technology is doomed to failure. The capital investiment that will need to go hand in hand with this is HUGE, really HUGE. Unless they start buying the major carriers around the world they can't be sure that 1) their tech will be used and 2) the backhaul networks can handle this speed.

I think that you can add another 5-8 years from their planned introduction. The carriers are going to have to rethink their pricing as well. It is not use exhausting a monthly/daily download quota in a few seconds.

All in all, there are a lot of really big hurdles to overcome before this can be introduced.

On key software decision, top patent court grinds to a stalemate
Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, May 13 2013 @ 04:02 PM EDT

The article is a bit misleading.

First misleading item: the Title. They didn't grind to a halt, they reversed the decision of the Appeal and decided the District Court was correct - the patents are invalidated.

Second misleading item: the Decision. It speaks to a 5-5 split (which would normally indicate no change) and says:

the lower court decision will stand
After moments previously having read the Appeal reversed and found the patents valid, unless one is paying attention one won't realize this means the first Appeal was reversed.

Of course - not being part of the Legal field - I could easily be wrong on the second misleading item. Is En Banc decision considered merely a review of the Appeal Court decision? Or is it considered an official "third ruling" in the process?

If it's an official "third ruling" then presenting it as a 5-5 split without clarifying it was not a split and it was sufficient to reverse the Appeal ruling - is misleading.
