Apple sued over iPhone caller ID {Engadget}
Feb 28th 2008 3:04PM @andy,
you make a good point. the drug industry is definitely a bit different and should have different rules, and to an extent i guess technology is the same way. maybe the answer is to study how long it takes, on average for a tech company to recuperate R&D costs... and tack a few years on to the end of that. Maybe thats a good measurement. but its definitely not that simple to just say 5 years, I agree.

yeah, but the iphone has been out for awhile... he could have sued whenever... but his patent life is coming to an end, so he better do it soon! so he did...
maybe apple should have licensed it. i'm not arguing that. but to me, all this patent junk is annoying... lets make the length of patents shorter. Come up w/ something cool? good, we'll award you a patent for a handful of years, then come up w/ something new or make your product even better to differentiate it from the rest.

Feb 28th 2008 10:13AM how convenient on the timing... his patent (according to my calculations assuming this patent: http://www.google.com/patents?id=84IjAAAAEBAJ&dq=Romek+Figa) is set to expire in May of this year...

funny you should say that... i happen to be in the architecture field... and I use my 17" macbook pro as a mobile workstation... works like a charm! also one of the top Autodesk consulting guys also has the same machine and works heavily in the architecture field (freedom tower, etc.), seems to work well for him as well!

Feb 19th 2008 2:08PM This is rediculous... someone tries to add a little bit of humor and suddenly the whole board is up in arms about an even from 50 years ago... i'd venture to bet alot of you (as well as myself) weren't even alive yet! chill... it was supposed to be light and funny... not a commentary on the correctness of the original action at all
geez...
How-to get Windows XP past the June 30th cutoff (or not) {Engadget}
Jan 29th 2008 10:03AM Doing great! love it. what? were there issues? i must have missed them. Now Vista on the other hand, is a different story. Starting running that a week before consumer release, and thought how cool it would be. Well, i've stuck with it til now, but finally have decided to go back to XP. Its too bloated, has too many issues in games, cad, file transfers, etc. for me. I'm hoping maybe SP1 and giving it a little bit more time to mature before I load it back up will make it usable.
