COLUMBIA, S.C. (Business Wire) -- Affinity Technology Group, Inc. (OTCBB: AFFI) today announced that the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (the "Appeals Court") has published its opinion in the cases of its subsidiary, decisioning.com versus Federated Department Stores, TD Ameritrade and HSBC Finance Corporation. The principal issues decided by the Appeals Court involved the definition of certain terms which were the basis for the summary judgment order issued by the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina in which the cases against Federated, TD Ameritrade and HSBC were dismissed in 2007. The terms in dispute were the result of a Markman hearing held in December 2006 and included the terms "remote interface," "verify the applicant's identity" and "compare.

Professional football is, in my opinion, the most enjoyable spectator sport. College football is too hard to keep track of -- way too many teams, leagues, divisions, whatever. And I'm not going to get into my opinion of other professional sports since honestly, I'm just pretty indifferent towards them, and I also see no reason to upset any readers of this review who are fans of professional baseball, basketball, hockey, golf, auto racing, soccer, whatever. Nothing wrong with any of those sports. They're just not my cup of tea.

On June 9, 2008, in a 9-0 unanimous opinion in Quanta Computer v. LG Electronics, the Supreme Court once again overturned the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and issued an opinion that limits the rights of patent owners, this time under the patent exhaustion doctrine. Under this longstanding doctrine, the first authorized sale of a patented item terminates the patent owner’s patent rights in that item. In Quanta Computer, the Supreme Court extended the patent exhaustion doctrine to method patents and held that the authorized, unrestricted sale by a licensee of components embodying the essential features of a patented apparatus and patented method and having no reasonable use other than to practice the patented inventions exhausts the patent owner’s right in the patents.

IconI read something in one of the comments for an OSNews posting a couple weeks ago that sent me thinking. It wasn't an original or profound thought. In fact, it's a rather commonly-held opinion that happens to be quite misguided. It's an opinion summed up by the "open source = communist" meme that gets thrown around in thousands of flamewars all over the internet. In this essay, I will explore why this idea is wrong and demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of economics.

In the area of shareholder proposals, a company is required to include any proposal that meets procedural requirements unless the subject matter of the proposal falls into one of 13 categories. Two of those categories -- found in rule 14a-8(i)(1) and rule 14a-8(i)(2) -- permit the company to exclude a shareholder proposal if the proposal is improper under state law or if the proposal would cause the company to violate any state, federal, or foreign law to which it is subject. A company that believes it can exclude a proposal on one of these two bases is required to write to the SEC staff and demonstrate the reasons for that belief. As part of that submission, the company must include a supporting opinion of counsel. As a general matter, the SEC staff will rely on such an opinion in considering the submission.

IconDuring the majority of my time working with computers, Windows was the operating system of choice. Reason being, it's all I've known. In 2002, I took a college course titled "Linux Administration" which entitled me to a few cd-roms of Redhat 7.x. While this course was nothing more than a few extra credits for me, I fell in love with Linux and went through the entire textbook a week into the class. It was a nice feeling to use something "different" than what I was used to.

However, given that you are likely to be inundated with Apple marketing I figured it might be a good time to refresh what the problems with the device initially will be and for folks to realize that no product is perfect for every person. The iPhone feeding frenzy that will soon kick off may have as the first one did people buying this version of the iPhone who probably would be still be happier with something else.
