Android v. Apple: The Latest Round of Legal Disputes in a Long ...

On April 24, Administrative Law Judge Thomas Pender of the U.S. International Trade Commission ruled that Apple was in violation of infringement of a Motorola patent ?on 3G wireless technology. The violation is in regards to the use of the 3G wireless technology in Apple?s iPhone and iPad devices.?Judge Pender?s initial ruling (available here) is still subject to review and approval by the ITC?s panel of six Commissioners. Apple has already appealed and has sued Samsung (the owner of the Motorola patent) for its own alleged patent infringements.

This latest loss for Apple is certainly significant, but is just one piece in the ever growing patent disputes among smartphone makers. With the technology trend from 3G wireless technology to faster 4G wireless technology, the amount of patents?and subsequent litigation?is only likely to increase. Samsung,?Apple?s opponent before the ITC, also happens to be?among the industry leaders in regards to 4G technology and its patents. This would seemingly?advantage Samsung in upcoming settlements with Apple. However, Apple is one of the industry leaders in user interface technology and has filed suit against Samsung for Samsung mobile products that run the Android operating system, which allegedly infringes on Apple patents. The only thing for certain is that the ITC ruling will not be the last in a continued legal battle between these two technology giants.

Gamify your sweat and make films more exciting

Kat Austen, CultureLab editor

rexfeatures_799264a.jpg(Image: WestEnd61/Rex Features)

Getting really sweaty is not normally a good thing. But imagine if doing so could make the film you're watching more exciting - or even change what happens next. Technology firm Sensum is launching a smartphone app that will use your sweat to make life far more entertaining.

Sensum pairs a wrist-mounted galvanic skin response (GSR) sensor, made by Dublin company Shimmer Research, via Bluetooth to a smartphone with the Sensum app installed. The sensor measures how much you sweat while watching different videos, and sends the data to the smartphone which then uploads the data to the Sensum website. Then you can play back the video overlaid with a graph that shows just what made you jump.

You are also given a score for how much you engaged with what you saw, which you can compare to others'. That gamification aspect is addictive. "You're getting rewarded for taking part," says Sensum's Gawain Morrison. It works - I found myself wanting to be sweatier for the first time ever, just so that I could feel more emotionally sensitive.

But the data isn't just collected and gamified, it can be used to change what you're watching in real time too. Last year Morrison's Belfast-based production company Filmtrip launched their interactive short horror film Unsound at SXSW, which responded to the audience's excitement - measured by their GSR and heart rate - by making the footage even gorier and the music more tense. "The physiology of the user shapes their entertainment experience," says Morrison.

Now that the technology has become mobile it can be rolled out on a much broader scale. "The mobile version allows us so much more room," says Morrison. "You can do proper deep-level immersion stuff and physiology encryption. If you go to a film with one of these devices on you're going to come out of that with data unique to you. For an alternate reality game tied into a film you then have totally personal physiological encryption."

Morrison foresees the platform being used to unlock content - be it games, comic books or extra plot - that is personally tailored for each viewer. "You're getting a personal reward for engaging with the film," he says. "All the further content is led by how you engaged with it."

Bringing it back to its origins, though, Filmtrip is working with science-fiction novelist Ian McDonald on the script of a feature-length film with multiple endings where physiological markers from the audience will change the film's music, special effects, character paths and even the ending.

'Eco-Anarchists' Targeting Nuclear and Nanotech Workers

The author of "The Paranoid Style of American Politics" spends a few pages at the start of the essay stressing that he just means paranoid Style, not clinical paranoia, and that it is hardly limited to America, but has cropped up all over the world.

Well, it sure seems to be alive and well in Switzerland and Mexico, to name two places that have suffered these attacks. The rhetoric in the Mexican note, about nanotech, from the "ITS" ("Individuals Tending to Savagery", at least they're honest) rings with your standard conspiracy-theory stuff about it ending the world. The anti-nuclear rhetoric in the other is similar towards nuclear armageddon, with the deaths from the "European Fukushima" just around the corner. (Amazing how France has avoided them for 40 years of 77% nuke power generation).

From the original "paranoid style" essay:

"The paranoid spokesman, sees the fate of conspiracy in apocalyptic terms ? he traffics in the birth and death of whole worlds, whole political orders, whole systems of human values. He is always manning the barricades of civilization . . . he does not see social conflict as something to be mediated and compromised, in the manner of the working politician. Since what is at stake is always a conflict between absolute good and absolute evil, what is necessary is not compromise but the will to fight things out to a finish."...that pretty neatly explains how they can go around blowing up engineers and professors. Since the "paranoid style" essay has become popular again lately because it also jogs memories of some Tea Party fears about Obama taking away all guns or rounding up Christians into camps or whatever, it's worth noting that this is where that kind of thinking eventually takes you if pursued to a logical conclusion. The author also stresses that the "paranoid style" is not a left or right thing, but found on both sides.

Letter: We must demand that crude oil be taken off the stock market

Folks, it's time to start screaming about being raped by the Big Oil Companies that our taxes subsidize.?

On 02/17/2011, I paid $2.649 for a gallon of gas, I passed the same station 25 minutes later and the price had jumped to $3.399.?

I later found out that a barrel of crude oil still in the ground had jumped from $95.42 to $100.00, however it stayed there for only 20 minutes and closed at $98.90.?

Since that day, crude (still in the ground) has only topped $100.00 per barrel about 50 days, the rest of the time it has been around the $95.42 price that it was on 02/17/2011. On 5/15/2011 a barrel of crude in the ground closed at $94.78, gas $3.899. On 5/17/2012, exactly one year later, crude in the ground closed at $92.81 and gas was $3.749; 5/18/2012 it was $92.56, gas $3.699; 5/19/2012 it closed at $92.48, gas was $3.649; 5/20/2012, $91.48, ?but gas was still $3.679.?

On 5/22/2012 crude was $92.57 but gas jumped up to $3.899, WHY??On 5/23/2012 the crude was still only $89.90, gas still $3.899.

We the citizens of the USA must demand that crude oil be taken off of the stock market and re-regulated. Gas for our auto's must be affordable to all Americans. Gasoline at the pump should cost no more today than $2.50 or less per gallon per the cost of crude in the ground.?

It's not "are you better off today then you were on 01/20/2009." It's "is the USA better?off today then it was on 01/19/2009."?

The answer to that is yes, the USA is.?

However we still have a ways to go and with a vote for D we will continue going forward and will get to "yes you are better off".?

A vote for R is a vote to go backwards, these teapublicans are telling us over and over what they will do, to us, and think we are too dumb to realize it.
