I agree with you. At some point the patent system is going to have to be updated. If you look at devices made 1900 they would list applicable patents on the back of the device. Usually. just one or two patents and maybe "patent pending". If Apple had to list all the applicable patents on the back of a iphone it would…

Your example of Cars and TVs illustrates another great point. Those products were always marketed based on new or improved features such as color TVs, TVs with remote controls, or smaller bezels. Cars were marketed with bigger engines or improved fuel economy. The companies didn't care that they all used the same…

For someone cross-shopping between the Droid RAZR and the Galaxy Nexus its very newsworthy and much appreciated!

I for one hate the feel of cheap paperback books. The pages feel like sandpaper and the thicker ones always want to break down the spine. Medium sized books and hardcovers are nicer, but aren't fun to travel with.

I can't agree more, when I listened to my Etymotics IEMs for the first time, it instantly reminded me of getting my first set of glasses. I never realized how bad my eyes were until I saw through glasses.

17 years and 500,000 miles later, and it still looks better than anything Acura is currently selling!

The grenade probably didn't go off because she was too close to the shooter. That type of grenade has a safety system that prevents the grenade from being armed until its gone a fixed distance from the shooter. (It does this by counting rotations). In training and in combat, stuff happens and they are accidentally…

400 horse power make anything look better to me!

Well if its anything like the books, the player will be able to win every battle and still be defeated ;)

I wish some billionaire would buy the rights to the Duesenberg name and start making cars in America that would rival Bugatti. I don't care that I would never be able to buy one, but I would be proud to say that the greatest cars in the world were built in America.

Cool at $35 not $150.

Wow, its about time Nikon got into the mirrorless race. What size is the sensor? What lenses will be available at launch?

I believe the biggest breakthrough was the ability to interpret "conversational" English. Jeopardy didn't rephrase any questions for Watson, the computer had to decipher the sometimes cryptic questions and figure out what the questions was really asking. I'm sure we've all had experiences where we searched Google…

Health Insurance PR Speak translation: " Watson will be used to detect fraud, deny claims, and second guess doctors"

I have carpal tunnel and I've found my nook 2nd edition, much more comfortable for extended reading sessions. Before my nook my wrist would always start to hurt after more than 20 minutes. I was also anal about not over opening the book and messing up the binding. Now I don't have to worry about it and can read pain…

My dad put 370,000 miles on one of these. I was nearly totaled when new, then wrecked again at 350,00 miles. My dad put some more miles on it, and sold it to a friend. As far as I know its still running today. About the only problems were occasionally with the AC and couple new clutches.

Does it get old going through life looking for ways to get insulted? I assure you I'm not stupid, and I also insure I've improved the lives of far more "modern southern Black persons" than you ever will.

Well I will have to tell half the people I work with they are perpetuating a racist stereotype. The fact is real people talk like this. They aren't stupid, or lazy, or dishonest, but this the way many people talk. My biggest problem with that character is that her tone of voice doesn't match her age. She sounds like a…

Those balls can be dangerous :)

Basically they both argued that without the merger they would be out of business within a couple years leaving a market segment unserved. They further argued that they weren't just competing against each other but against music streaming and local radio stations.
