About 5 years ago, I wound up spending $500 just to watch the Spurs in the playoffs.
I needed a solution where I could watch on my PC.
So, I bought an HDHomerun($100), renting a CableCard monthly, had a spare PC but had to buy a legit copy of Windows 7($199).. I get everything up and find that my monitor isn't DHCP compliant! I spend $200 more on a new monitor.
After all this, I still wound up with driver issues and DRM software update issues.. took me weeks of frustration to get it all working.. right in time to see them lose their last game from my PC.
on the product and actor. For instance, the wife and I thought the Kevin Bacon ad for the Logitech Revue (?) was clever.
It was a tongue-in-cheek approach that i thought worked well. I believe that if more advertisements poked fun at themselves, it would go a long way for their image
I just don't understand why the TV companies aren't paying attention.
I think the vast majority of Hulu users wouldn't mind paying $5-10/month if we felt we were getting something in return - Easily accessible, No commercials, longer retention period of shows, access from ANY device, etc....
They're shooting themselves in the foot with these ridiculous restrictions. They need someone with vision who will actually listen to what consumers want.
yes, i agree. the article doesn't make it clear if the newspaper bought 1.3 million CDs and handed them out.
If so, I don't see a problem with that & the estate should be happy someone bought so many CDs.
None of this information is personally identifiable. There is no way to 'disaggregate' the information to correlate it with a specific buyer without further information. Unless, you know, you're the only one that lives at that particular postal code.
Are you kidding me? are you new to this site or just haven't been paying attention. It has been reported time and time again about how supposed non-identifiable information can lead straight to the "non-identifiable" person.
We had a conference in Dc last week. Some answers were pulled out during Q&A, but we're achieve much more through the contacts we made with other companies in similar situations.
I read this in our local san antonio newspaper a couple of days ago - in the comments section, developers actually argued that this would incentivize them to invest MORE in the development area and community.
I almost spit diet coke all over my keyboard when I read that.
Recently, while on vacation in Minnesota, I spoke with the mother of a patent attorney. She told me her daughter often travels to East Texas for trial.
She says that the local economy sees a tremendous influx of money due to the patent lawsuits. This makes the judges very friendly, encouraging more lawsuits/money flowing into E. Texas.

how exactly was he "tricked" into tweeting the code?
I think it really depends

I thought those instructions looked familiar when I read it...
my feelings on this lawsuit notwithstanding, we ordered our Thanksgiving turkey from Greenberg this year and it was really good.

reminds me of my GEICO car insurance payments..
Can't afford to pay the entire 12 month policy at once? That's OK, we'll split it up monthly and charge you a fee for that.
Re:
In no way does it state that it's perfectly OK to plant evidence.
He was drawing parallels to the (hopefully) infrequent illegal planting of evidence by some police to enhance their cases.
If you don't think this has ever happened, i have this bridge in san francisco for sale.. cheap.
where's my nearest dollar store? I have some patent/anti-patent trolling to do....
Gene, I with you. I see way too many posts that read, "Well, if they're not smart enough, they deserve to get taken advantage of..".
That's just plain wrong.

conference attendence

Re:
the problem is that attorneys want dumb people on the jury so they're more easily led by the nose.
I was called to jury duty and was appalled at the quality of "peers" who were chosen(I was not) to be on the jury.
So, even if it does go to court, it's a crapshoot

Re:
This is probably the most ridiculous statement i've seen in a long time - right there with Bush saying "either you're with us or against us".
It is NOT black & white.
