Obama Finally Appoints IP Czar... Puts It In The Wrong Department | Techdirt

"Why Office of Management & Budget? No good reason. The position doesn't fit there at all... but putting it there keeps it away from those darn "copyleftists" in Office of Science and Technology Policy. So where did the position end up? Yup... it's a part of Office of Management & Budget, just like Hollywood wanted."

BetaBatt, Inc. Direct Energy Conversion Technology

"BetaBatt is a Houston-based company in the business of developing long-lasting reliable power sources. The Company has researched and patented a novel 3D energy conversion architecture named the DECTM Cell, based on nano-scale porous silicon. The DECTM Cell is able to convert decay electrons to electricity 10 times more efficiently than conventional 2D devices using standard semiconductor manufacturing methods. The company's first commercial product, a quarter size battery with a 12-20 year lifespan and mission critical reliability, has performance characteristics that address current problems faced by medical implant, oil and gas, and remote sensing industries, as well as military and space organizations. Going forward, BetaBatt intends to apply its novel architecture to Micro-Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS), Mesh Networks, Smart Dust and other micro/nano architectures requiring long-lasting reliable power sources."

Debunking Apple vs. Psystar Myths

"Unless Psystar employees are walking into Apple office buildings or Apple Stores to actually take Apple-owned items without permission, Psystar isn't stealing. The truth is, of course, that Psystar is buying fully legal copies of Mac OS X from Apple retailers or even directly from Apple itself, and reselling those copies. I've lost count how many times I've resold legally purchased copies of software. Heck, I even resold legally purchased retail copies of Mac OS X several times. If that's considered stealing, then I - and a lot of you, too - belong in jail. "

PySide – Python for Qt

"Although based on a different technology than the existing GPL-licensed PyQt bindings, PySide will initially be 100% API-compatible with them. In addition to the PyQt-compatible API, a more Pythonic API will be provided in the future. While the PySide project has been initiated and the first set of code provided by Nokia, PySide will be run as a true open source project. Nokia will provide multiple developers working on the project, but contributions will be encouraged and the contributors need not transfer their copyright or accept a code reuse license; merely providing code under the LGPLv2.1 license will be sufficient."

Bokode - Camera Culture Group, MIT Media Lab

"Current optical tags, such as barcodes, must be read within a short range and the codes occupy valuable physical space on products. We present a new low-cost optical design so that the tags can be shrunk to 3mm visible diameter, and unmodified ordinary cameras several meters away can be set up to decode the identity plus the relative distance and angle. The design exploits the bokeh effect of ordinary cameras lenses, which maps rays exiting from an out of focus scene point into a disk like blur on the camera sensor. This bokeh-code or Bokode is a barcode design with a simple lenslet over the pattern. We show that an off-the-shelf camera can capture Bokode features of 2.5 microns from a distance of over 4 meters."

A Photo Editor - JPG Magazine Profit And Loss

"the demise of the magazine was contributed to by CEO Mitch Fox and his $500,000 a year salary, the expensive salespeople he hired, launching a travel title called everywhere and preparing a fashion magazine. If that’s true, it’s simply run of the mill magazine making hubris where people assume something that works at one level can be scaled to the next. Maybe this is also the end of an era where a powerful sales staff with serious marketing dollars can bring in more advertising than great content and loyal readers on its own."
