A lower court kicked out the patent, and now CAFC has upheld that ruling, making use of the Alice ruling to make it doubly clear this isn't patentable. You mean CAFC actually did the right thing for a change instead of upholding a bad patent with an extremely convoluted ruling? Hey, there's a snowball fight going on in Hell right now!
The diagrams clearly show that Netflix demands and requires a substantial amount of bandwidth above and beyond what was reasonable use twenty years ago. So Verizon need to update their network. Your point?
As a customer, I am paying the shipping company to deliver my package. If a few million people order stuff at the same time, it's understandable that there may be some delays. However, it would be completely ludicrous for the shipping company to blame Amazon or whoever for sending out too many packages.
I think he's either trying to say that we need to cleanup the FCC, or stating the fact that the Internet wil be less useful than a dishwasher if we don't get working Net Neutrality (i.e. for the peole, not corporations).
You know what would make EA the best company? Getting rid of the DRM completely. Let's face it, honest customers are simply pissed off at putting a game into their PC, only to find they can't play it because the DRM on the disc prevents it being fully installed, and the DRM removal patch offered by the game's developer to solve the issue can only be used on a fully installed game. All the while, the pirates are laughing at the honest customers who got burnt while playing games that they removed the DRM from. Stop pissing us off, stop putting DRM on games.
Normally I hate SonĀ„, but you gotta admire their honesty and courage in holding their hand up to this screw up and apologising for it instead of passing the buck and generally blaming others like a certain other corporation I'm not going to mention. *cough* EA! *cough*
Here in the UK we can already unlock phones. IN fact there is a large industry of small local shops that offer this services. Why bother? I just go to Carphone Warehouse or Phones 4 U to buy mobile phones that have never been locked to any network. The easiest problem to solve is one that never existed in the first place.
Way back when, in the dawn of mankind, 3M sold a product that they called 'duct tape', but which had no cloth in it unlike actual duct tape. Maybe that's the type they're selling now, or it may be that they changed its name to masking tape. I know they sell that.
I suggest that anyone who wants to create such derivative works can simply do it in the UK - and then wathc the Conan Doyle estate try to keep such works out of the US. I'll try and write something and publish it online for you, okay?
The whole 'real name' policy is a nonsense, any way. If I make a new Google account in which I call myself 'Mike Jones' (not my actual name) then go on Google+ with that, how is Google to know that my real name is actually something entirely different? Then there's the fact that Facebook's 'real name' policy never stopped griefers vandalising users' memorial walls. The stupid, it burns!
In the UK right now, it is illegal to remove or otherwise circumvent DRM except where it protects no copyrights. You gotta love European courts sometimes.
