In Developing Android Oracle Sues Google Knowingly

Posted: 12 Aug 2010 08:33 PM PDT


The company also announced some enhancements to Android today and this week saw the release of its latest smartphone, the Motorola Droid 2 for Verizon Wireless."In developing Android, Google knowingly, directly and repeatedly infringed Oracle's Java-related intellectual property. This lawsuit seeks appropriate remedies for their infringement," Oracle spokeswoman Karen Tillman said in a statement.

As such, it infringes on one or more parts of seven different patents something Google should know, Oracle argues, because it has hired former Sun Java engineers in recent years.Oracle says Google's known about these issues for around five years now, so it's clear that whatever licensing negotiations these two were having have broken down  we've got a feeling this case will drag on for years to come, but we'll definitely keep an eye on it.

The kicker in this lawsuit is Oracle's assertion that Google has "induced, caused and materially contributed to the infringing acts of others by encouraging others to use, copy and distribute" what could be called derivative works.

Psoriatic Artheitis American Rheumatism Public In Danger

Posted: 12 Aug 2010 03:03 AM PDT


In fact, some patients have had arthritis for over 20 years before psoriasis eventually appears! Conversely, patients can have psoriasis for over 20 years prior to the development of arthritis, leading to the ultimate diagnosis of psoriasis arthritis. The onset of psoriasis arthritis generally occurs in the fourth and fifth decades of life. Males and females are affected equally. The skin disease (psoriasis) and the joint disease arthritis often appear separately. In fact, the skin disease precedes the arthritis in nearly 80% of patients. However, the arthritis may precede the psoriasis in up to 15% of patients. In some patients, the diagnosis of psoriasis arthritis can be difficult if the arthritis precedes psoriasis by many years.

Psoriasis arthritis (also arthritis psoriasis, arthroscopic psoriasis or psoriasis arthropod) is a type of inflammatory arthritis 194 that, according to the National Psoriasis Foundation, affects around 10-30% of people suffering from the chronic skin condition psoriasis. Psoriasis arthritis is said to be a electronegative spongy arthropod and therefore occurs more commonly in patients with tissue type HLA-B27. Treatment of psoriasis arthritis is similar to that of rheumatoid arthritis. More than 80% of patients with psoriasis arthritis will have psoriasis nail lesions characterize by pitting of the nails, or more extremely, loss of the nail itself psychoanalysis.

The great variety of clinical manifestations was framed in the definition suggested by Moll and Wright in 1973, ie, An inflammatory arthritis associated with psoriasis, usually with a negative sheep cell agglutination (SCA) test, ie, rheumatoid factor. The high frequency of distal joint involvement in psoriasis arthritis compared with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and arthritis mutilates (as an unusual but characteristic manifestation) has received special attention.

Netflix picks up the mail from 130 different locations and delivers it to 58 shipping centers to cut down on machine processing which could damage DVD.Netflix, would no doubt love to have the movies the same day they premiere on Epix, but that would really make for tough relationships for the pay cable channel and its distributors.

More on the deal from the New York Times and some analysis from Dave Poland's Hot Blog. And soon HBO will tell us why this won't change their ability to print money.

Blockbuster's been getting its lunch eaten by Netflix for about the last two years now, and prior to this move, about the only place you could get games by mail was from Gamefly. And speaking as a former Gamefly subscriber, that service was lousy due to the huge lags between sending a game back and getting a new one, a problem Netflix and this time speaking as a current Netflix subscriber) never had.

Facebook Step in With Google - Verizone Net Neutrality Debate

Posted: 12 Aug 2010 02:16 AM PDT


"Facebook continues to support principles of Net neutrality for both landline and wireless networks," the company's Washington, D.C.-based policy spokesman, Andrew Noyes, said in a statement. "Preserving an open Internet that is accessible to innovators--regardless of their size or wealth--will promote a vibrant and competitive marketplace where consumers have ultimate control over the content and services delivered through their Internet connections."

Facebook's statement doesn't surprise us; the Google and Facebook are now at war, and allowing Google to define net neutrality on its own terms presents a grave threat to the social network's business.

Instead, a principle of nondiscrimination has long governed electric utilities and telephone networks. And now that a single big pipe has taken the place of telephones and, increasingly, broadcast, the president's platform called for similar nondiscrimination rules to be applied to Internet access.

Comcast drew first blood in the net neutrality battle by violating the principles of the Broadband Policy Statement established by the FCC in 2005. Intentionally choking peer-to-peer networking traffic, and giving other Internet traffic preferential treatment on the Comcast network drew attention to the cause and illustrated why the FCC should have stronger oversight to protect national and consumer interests.
