8 May 2012 | 10:40 amCOLUMBUS, Ohio, May 8, 2012 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Today a Federal court denied the appeal of Leader Technologies in the Leader v. Facebook patent infringement case.

According to McKibben, a lower court held that Facebook violated Leader's patent on 11 of 11 claims, but then invalidated Leader's patent by finding that Leader had tried to sell its technology too soon ("on-sale bar," in legal parlance.)… -

Parking Lots and PCI Compliance

Not because I necessarily wanted to learn them PCI Compliance is one of those things I’ve encountered a handful of times during my tour of duty at Check Point. I don’t even pretend to play an expert on PCI on the Internet, which stands for Payment Card Industry (i.e. companies that process credit cards).

How to fix Location Services on the iPhone 3GS with iPad Baseband (06.15)
20 Apr 2012 | 2:24 amMany moons ago, I installed the dreaded iPad Baseband on my iPhone 3GS. I did this for one simple reason: I wanted to be able to unlock my iPhone with Ultrasn0w. Unfortunately, as I was warned when I did it, this was a one-way street unless Apple releases a baseband for the iPhone 3GS with a version above 06.15 since the iPhone does not allow you to downgrade the baseband. While the iPad Baseband had worked pretty well for a while, funny things started happening after the iOS 5 upgrade. Namely: my GSM radio and WiFi would crash when Location Services was active. And, to make matters worse,… -
NAT is Coming to IPv6. Whether We Like It Or Not.

If you are really concerned about hiding your addresses or disguising your MAC address, you can look into the idea of Temporary Addressing. In the middle of writing this post, Paul Reganasked me about using NAT to translate when you move from one provider to another. That might… -

BlackBerry 10 Jam rocked, because of you!
7 May 2012 | 6:09 amLast week was a whirlwind for BlackBerry developers. BlackBerry 10 Jam was the official launch of the BlackBerry 10 platform to the developer community – SDK’s, tools, and of course the BlackBerry 10 Alpha device. This was a moment we’d been working toward since before DevCon Americas in the fall. I know there was a lot of pressure to show a phone last fall, but until the SDK’s were ready, and developers could actually use them, there would have been little point. Instead we steadily built first the PlayBook OS 1.0 SDK, the PlayBook OS 2.0 SDK, and the PlayBook OS 2.0 software… -
It’s time to hang up the spurs, Alex.
17 Apr 2012 | 2:03 pmLast Friday, YouMail released their latest visual voice mail client for BlackBerry. At the same time, they put up a blog post telling the world that this was end of the line for the BlackBerry customers – no new work would be done on BlackBerry. I thought it a little bizarre. As publicity stunts go, it was the equivalent of a drive-by-shooting — guaranteed to generate coverage from gawkers and bystanders. And it sure has. It even made CNN! The basic premise behind the post is wrong, though. Although BlackBerry has some challenging times ahead during our BlackBerry 10 transition,… -
Chatting with @Scobleizer about RIM
17 Feb 2012 | 4:02 pm“So, did you see what I wrote?”, he asked? And that’s how my conversation with @scobleizer started. I had dropped him a note a couple of weeks ago when our Alex Kinsella and he were having a little dust up on twitter, and suggested we grab some time. Today was the day. “Yes, I saw what you wrote. And I disagree. There’s no money, Robert, in being just another undifferentiated Android handset.” “But developers are abandoning BlackBerry, everywhere”, he said. And when I countered that wasn’t the case, two sell-out developer conferences in Asia and Europe being the… -
Try Something New Today!
9 Jan 2012 | 9:19 amI’m in Las Vegas for CES. I’ve been coming here for industry events for 25 years now. Yesterday, however, I did something I had never done in all that time. I rented a car, and drove out of the city to see what else Nevada had to offer besides gambling, hotels, and shows. An hours drive north led me to the Valley of Fire State Park, where I took in the sunset, and the rising of the moon over Lake Mead to the east. It was stunning. I’ll go back there again, just to see the rock formations along the 20 mile scenic route through the park. So, what does that have to do with… -
Five Killer Travel Apps for BlackBerry Users

Placing a Valuation on Skype Premium’s Video Conferencing
16 May 2012 | 9:18 amWhen Skype announced that Group Video Calling would require a Skype Premium subscription, there was questioning as to why this service was not another free one. On the other hand I have encountered many Skype users who have recognized the value and taken up a subscription. A couple of recent posts that review the entire group video conferencing market space demonstrate that Skype Premium with Group Video Calling is actually a significant business disrupter for some of the major players in this market. Scott Wharten, CEO of Vidtel, has been developing video calling products for the past… -

This comes after a year of using an original iPad, which I have found to be the equivalent of an “electronic briefcase”. Over the past three years the device I take away from my home office for day trips has gone from a 15″ Dell Inspiron to a MacBookPro to an iPad; and now to trial a PlayBook. While iPad dominates the tablet market in this role, we have started to see the emergence of purpose-based…

Do You Have a Best Friend at Work?
15 May 2012 | 2:43 pmIt’s the only question I can remember from any employee satisfaction survey I’ve ever taken. And it was over 10 years ago.“Do You Have a Best Friend at Work?”I remember it because at the time it just seemed so out of left field. Employee satisfaction surveys were supposed to have long and boring questions like “On a scale of 1 to 7, how would you rate the interdepartmental communication effectiveness of your manager’s manager as it relates to the eight core values of our company?”“Do You Have a Best Friend at Work” was simple to answer. And apparently effective. According… -
Has the Internet Changed Your Brain?
9 May 2012 | 10:28 amInside your skull there are upwards of 30 billion neurons. Each neuron is connected by synapses. And each neuron might have several thousand synapses. Now that’s a big network!For the first half of the 20th century it was believed that once an individual had moved from childhood to adulthood those brain connections were set. As soon as we stopped growing it was thought our brains ossified. In fact the brain was likened to a mechanical device.Although Sigmund Freud, in the late 19th century, suggested otherwise the fixed-brain view persisted until the late 1970’s. Research then started to… -
Internet Television…Help!
8 May 2012 | 11:09 amOver the last two years we have received a huge number of requests from rights holders for help getting their content on to the Internet in the form of Internet Television.

Television and Internet are the key words here. The content is usually also shown on traditional broadcast networks. The delivery of the content makes use of the Internet and no other network. -
Is 2 Seconds the Right Target?
18 Apr 2012 | 12:36 pmThere is a massive amount of data that shows that faster web pages lead to better returns for the web site owner; returns measured in the revenue generated, the customer satisfaction achieved or number of click-throughs achieved. The specific return depends on what the web site is designed to accomplish.But it turns out that this relationship is actually somewhat counter-intuitive. And that may explain why not enough web site owners are placing the appropriate focus on speed.As a browser of web sites I tend to think that once a web site reaches a certain speed it becomes good enough. And that… -
