As patents are government granted monopolies, if a company or person abuses that monopoly, the government should be within its rights to invalidate that said patent and thereby placing it in the public domain. The government shouldn’t seize the patent, which keeps the monopoly alive with potential repeat abuse. Although, if federal funds were used, an argument for seizure over simply invalidating and placing into the public domain could make sense.
So if I use my laptop for Skype with cellular data plan, it is like my cell phone (looks like a duck); therefore, they need a warrentl at the boarder to that it.
In the late 80's Linoel Playworld waited till Christmas morning, or. The day after, to call the managers and tell they to not reopen the stores. There by full sales, no returns.
This is why I did not push to investigate what happened to my son's PS3 which was stolen out of his checked luggage. I made one call and was told there was no way a TSA employee could have taken anything out of a bag. Total BULLSh?T
They did this with urokinase a few years ago. The new alternative tPA was too expensive compared to urokinase. Since urokinase was made from cultures of uroepithelial cells, someone suggested there might be a infection risk, although no had been reported in the 40 million administered doses.
Google and particularly Google Scholar make it much easier to find the article that you read a few months ago "somewhere" but can't quite remember all of the details. My partners and I use it multiple times a week. In fact, just yesterday, two of us were just discussing how useful Google was and how much it would have helped in residency.
As mentioned above, historical, we checked reference books, which are usually 5 to 10 years behind current practice due to the time it takes to publish. Journals are more up to date, but have not been as easily searched and read. May doctors would tear our interesting articles to file them in a cabinet for "easy" reference, but the filing system was frequently inadequate.
Now with Google we can search many more journals than before. The only problem is DRM which sometimes prevents us from reading what appears to be the prefect article for a particular case, but all we get is the abstract. The rest is locked behind a pay wall.
Also as mentioned above Wikipedia is a great starting point for some of the less common esoteric diagnoses and to refresh ones memory.
Radiologists interpret MR's and other imaging studies, and they are MD's(or other licensed medical doctor). Technologists run the machines to produce the images.
I live in SC half way between Charleston, SC and Savannah, GA. The local area rules say we are in the Savannah, GA market; therefore, we cannot the charleston channel's on satellite, and none of the over the air broadcasts are strong enough. This means that we miss a lot of SC state news and politics.
The early higher price slowed demand slightly thus reducing the number sold on Ebay. Plus Apple got the money that would have gone to the Ebay sellers. They sold 6 million phones in less than a year, and they ran out a month ago.

Seizure vs invalidate
As patents are government granted monopolies, if a company or person abuses that monopoly, the government should be within its rights to invalidate that said patent and thereby placing it in the public domain. The government shouldn’t seize the patent, which keeps the monopoly alive with potential repeat abuse. Although, if federal funds were used, an argument for seizure over simply invalidating and placing into the public domain could make sense.

iPhone and wifi
With millions of iPhones (and other wifi enabled phones) hitting the streets, the enforceability of these laws seems to be approaching zero.
Backfire?
