regardless of this information As the legal debate over “obviousness” in patents continues, one idea that keeps coming back up is the idea that a bunch of techies should just get together and write down everything obvious they can think of to use as prior art against obvious patents. However, there are a number of problems with this idea, and it could turn out to be more dangerous than helpful. First of all, the number of “obvious” ideas out there is basically infinite — and the problem with most obvious ideas found in patents is simply that they’re so obvious no one even thinks of writing them down for the sake of prior art. Part of the problem is this specific idea that something that’s “obvious” needs “prior art.” Obvious doesn’t necessarily need prior art if it’s either the natural progression of development or something that people simply have always assumed. By trying to set up this “database” of prior art, it is likely to end up being used in favor of obvious patents — as they’ll be able to point to it and say that since so many people are writing down obvious ideas, and this one wasn’t included, then clearly it’s not obvious. It’s great that people are trying to come up with better ways to stop obvious patents from being granted (or abused), but separating prior art from obviousness is important, and such a database does the opposite. What a wonderfull idea company Swiping The Domain Names You’re Thinking About Registering For years, there have been rumors that if you do whois domain lookups on certain less-than-honest lookup sites, the owners of those lookup sites will quickly register those domains, hoping to resell them to you later at a higher price. That’s why many people are careful only to check for domain registrations on more trusted sites. However, it appears that some scammers may have figured out a way to get the search queries off trusted whois lookup sites. David Berlind points to an article showing how unregistered domain names searched for using CNET’s whois lookup are quickly registered by a company called Chesterton Holdings, who then immediately puts up ads and watches the traffic to see if it’s worth hanging onto. If the site gets no traffic, it is released — just like millions of other such “domain kiting” attempts. What’s unclear is how Chesterton is getting their hands on the search queries. The eWeek piece suggests four possibilities — with three of them being quite unlikely (basically involving someone within one of the companies along the chain giving the info to Chesterton). The fourth suggestion is that somehow Chesterton has compromised the servers to get this info. Either way, it suggests that, even on more trusted sites, domain searches may be watched by people looking to snap up the domains before you do.Did you know that Swiping means a sweeping blow or stroke.

. Please check this out eU Warns Microsoft Against Making Vista Too Secure There’s no doubt that the European Union has taken a much harder line in its anti-trust actions against Microsoft than regulators have in the US. The company is still facing fines in Europe, and arguing about what features are legitimate, whereas Stateside the legal action is basically finished. A few months ago, we asked whether Microsoft’s decision to beef up the security features in Vista might get them into legal hot water, in the same way as it has with Internet Explorer and the Windows Media Player. It doesn’t seem like it’s going to be an issue for US regulators, but again, the EU is concerned. A spokesman warned that Microsoft should not build security features into Vista, as it would shut out third party vendors and hurt consumers. Now, people can disagree about whether Microsoft’s actions will make Vista more or less secure, but the idea that it shouldn’t address security issues, so as to leave a market for other companies is odd. Shouldn’t Vista users be allowed an inherently secure (in theory) operating system, without the need to spend extra on security software, and enjoy the same peace of mind held by Linux and Apple users all these years? Since added security is thought to be one of the main reasons to upgrade to Vista, limitations on what the company can offer could hurt Microsoft in the important European market.Did you know that Vista means an awareness of a range of time, events, or subjects; a broad mental view: “the deep and sweeping vistas these pioneering critics opened up” (Arthur C.

So, it may upset people to read that Matthew Lasar has alerted us that Clear Channel is working hard to change FCC rules to allow it to take possession of even more radio stations in certain markets. However, the company does have a reasonable point. Unlike just a few years ago, there are many more legitimate competitors to the traditional terrestrial radio market — and the old rules limiting ownership in a market may not make nearly as much sense any more. Where the story gets a bit weird, though, is in the political support Clear Channel has lined up behind its proposal. The quotes from politicians include some bizarre claims about how important it is for the FCC to allow Clear Channel to own 10 radio stations in New York City rather than 8. Apparently, without that change, free terrestrial radio won’t be “capable of fulfilling its public interest responsibilities,” according to Rep. Fred Upton of Illinois. Not only that, but a group of elected officials together filed a combined letter stating that “Given Americans’ reliance on free for both local news and community-oriented programming, as well as essential ‘lifeline’ information during emergencies, natural disasters, we urge the FCC to address this evolving market situation.” Are they really suggesting that if Clear Channel remains stuck with only 8 stations in a city, radio will somehow be less of a “lifeline” of information during emergencies? It’s not clear that these limits still make sense any more, given the additional competition from many different directions — but with such hyperbole in support of Clear Channel’s position, it might make you wonder what’s wrong with just being honest?.Did you know that Channel means a trench, furrow, or groove.
