In my RSS reader, the subtitle and byline merged to read: “Manager’s Amendment of S. 515 Would Eliminate Most Suits By Kevin E. Noonan.” Which is not inaccurate.

Thank god. I’d considered installing boot camp on multiple occations just to play Portal.

I agree with Wil and most other people who’ve commented on this case. It’s just very un-Apple to sue someone for patent infringement, unless the other person sued first.

I don’t think anyone wants to see another Pippin, but it would be pretty cool if you could turn on your TV, and use your iPhone or iPod touch as your game controller.

Say what you will about the price and success of the cube, but it was tiny, dead sexy, and didn’t have a fan.

Oh, baby. Don’t make me choose. I love both of you.

How cool is this?

(1) The CAFC had a copyright case
(2) It was on appeal from the Court of Federal Claims
(3) It involved the USPS and Fair Use.

I’m in nerd heaven right now.

Damn. I hope citibank doesn’t read any of my blogs and disable my credit card.

Good luck clearing the rights with Lucasfilms.

I’ve long argued that most, if not all laws, should have built-in sunset provisions. It’s a lot easier to let a law expire than it is to repeal it, especially criminal laws for incredibly stupid crimes. For example, Massachusetts still has laws against Blasphemy and Fornication.

Neither of these laws is constitutional, and neither has been used in decades, but they remain because no one wants a challenger to run an ad that says the representative or state senator voted to make fewer things crimes.
