Google demuestra en los tribunales que Android no violo patentes de Java

Java Sun de Oracle

Oracle hab?a demandando al gigante de Internet por la supuesta violaci?n de dos de sus patentes de java al incluirlo en Android. Despu?s de un largo proceso Google sale victorioso y reafirma la legalidad de su sistema operativo para m?viles.

Java Sun de Oracle

La demanda data del a?o 2010 cuando Oracle se hace de los derechos de Java al comprar a Sun Microsystems. Google hab?a utilizado Java dentro de su sistema Android para dispositivos m?viles, por lo que la compa??a de Larry Ellison argument? que se utiliz? c?digo de Java sin tener la licencia necesaria.

El gigante de Internet quiso llegar a un acuerdo con Oracle, cedi?ndole parte de sus ganancias de Android si demostraba la violaci?n de patentes, pero la empresa detr?s de java declino la oferta y llev? el asunto hasta los tribunales.

En una primera etapa del juicio el jurado dictamino que Google si violo el copyright de java, que era otra de las cuestiones por las que Oracle inicio la demanda. S?lo que no pudieron determinar con unanimidad si se produjo ?conforme a derecho?, que es lo que argumento Google en todo momento.

Este hecho hizo que a?n con la vulnerabilidad al copyright, no tuviera que pagar ninguna indemnizaci?n.

En la segunda etapa se trato de la violaci?n de dos patente de java al usarlo en la construcci?n de Android pero no se pudo demostrar bajo argumentos por lo que Oracle pierde la demanda y se queda sin indemnizaci?n alguna.

Por su parte Google demuestra que Android es un sistema operativo legal y comentan al respecto:

?El veredicto de hoy del jurado de que Android no infringe las patentes de Oracle fue una victoria no s?lo para Google, sino para todo el ecosistema Android?.

You Can Sell Your Commercial Property Quickly And Easily | Honest ...

Commercial real estate relationships are very important. Even more so than residential real estate relationships. Commercial real estate deals are usually quite large ? and many people cannot handle buying a million-dollar building on their own, so you will need partners. Commercial buildings typically sell before they ever get listed as well, so you will need relationships to find out about properties for sale.

Before you start renting your buildings, make sure you have renter?s insurance. Renter?s insurance is usually a legal requirement, and will cover you in case something happens to your property. Make sure you understand your policy, and be open with your renters about what your insurance covers. Encourage them to get additional coverage if your policy does not cover their possessions.

When investing in commercial real estate, you should look over the financing and know if the mortage payment is simply interest, or whether it includes principal and interest. In addition, you should know the amortization schedule that is used to figure the principal payment. The best way to grow equity is having principal and interest payments over a short amortization period.

Get your financing taken care of in advance. Down payments on commercial properties are normally higher than on residential properties. That being said, lenders are more lenient about where you get the down payment money from, often allowing you to borrow the money from someone else. But before making an offer on a commercial property, talk to a number of different lenders, as you may not qualify for a loan from all of them. The last thing you need is to have your offer accepted, only to find that you can?t get a loan.

Try to learn what the insiders already know. To be successful in commercial real estate, you need to think like a professional. You need to know that commercially property has different values than that of residential. The income of commercial property is immediately related to usable sq. footage. This is not so with individual houses. There is much bigger cash flow to be seen with commercial property too.

What goes up, must come down has a corollary in the real estate market. What goes down, must come up. If the markets are severely depressed, you can get property for a song. If you have the means to hold on to a property until the market recovers, go ahead and buy, buy, buy because you will find yourself holding some high value properties compared to your investment when all is said and done

When considering a commercial real estate property to purchase, think about how the neighborhood will do in ten or twenty years, or an even longer period of time. You?ll want to invest for the long-term to ensure that you continue to have a strong income from any location you buy. If you think the neighborhood will only be hot for a few years, skip it.

Commercial real estate is big business. If the market is good. Be aware of your assets and liabilities and make sure that if things take a dip, that your commercial property will be safe from fore-closure. Also, double check if you have lessees that they are stable.

Using the information that you have learned from this article, you should find that getting started in the real estate market, is not quite as difficult as it may seem at first. You will also find that there are some great opportunities out there, if you just know how to find them.

Cardinal among plotters in Vatican scandal?

Paolo Gabriele (bottom left), the pope's butler, was arrested three days ago for allegedly feeding documents to Italian journalists.

By msnbc.com news services

VATICAN CITY --?The worst crisis in Pope Benedict's pontificate deepened on Monday when Italian media said at least one cardinal was among those suspected of leaking sensitive documents as part of a power struggle at the top of the Catholic Church.?The pope's butler, who has been arrested, has pledged to cooperate in the probe.?

Leading Italian newspapers Corriere della Sera and Il Messaggero reported Monday that the pope's butler ? arrested three days ago for allegedly feeding documents to Italian journalists ? clearly did not act alone, and that an unidentified cardinal is suspected of playing a major role.?

The scandal exploded last week when within a few days the pope's butler was arrested, the head of the Vatican's own bank was abruptly dismissed and a book was published alleging conspiracies among the cardinals or "princes of the Church."

Vatican cops arrest pope's butler over leaked papers alleging corruption

However, the Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, denied the reports that a cardinal might be the next target of the "Vatileaks" probe. He said many Vatican officials were being questioned but insisted: "There is no cardinal under suspicion."?

Meanwhile, the lawyer for the pope's butler says his client has pledged "full cooperation" in the investigation and wants the truth to come out.?

On his final day in Cuba, Pope Benedict noted that the Cuban government has taken steps to allow greater freedom of religion, but still has room for improvement. Vatican analyst George Weigel talks about the Pope's message and his meeting with Fidel Castro.

The commitment by butler Paolo Gabriele to cooperate raises the specter that higher-ranking prelates may soon be named in the scandal. Leaks of confidential Vatican correspondence have shed light on power struggles and intrigue inside the highest levels of the Catholic Church.?

Gabriele, the pope's personal butler since 2006, was arrested Wednesday evening after documents he had no business having were found inside his Vatican City apartment. He remains in detention in a Vatican detention facility, accused of theft, and has met with his wife and lawyers.?

The 46-year-old father of three was always considered extremely loyal to Benedict and his predecessor, John Paul II, for whom he briefly served. Vatican insiders said they were baffled by his alleged involvement. Gabriele's lawyer, Carlo Fusco, reported Monday that Gabriele was "very serene and calm."?

So far,?Gabriele?has been the only?one arrested, but Lombardi stressed that the investigation was continuing.?

Pope at Easter vigil: Technology without God is dangerous

The probe is working on two separate tracks. Vatican magistrates are pursuing the criminal investigation, and Gabriele was arrested as part of that. Separately, Pope Benedict appointed three cardinals to form an investigative commission to look beyond the narrow criminal scope of the leaks.?

Those cardinals have the authority to interview broadly across the Vatican bureaucracy, Lombardi said, and can both share information with Vatican prosecutors and receive information from them.?

The Catholic Church accused the nation's largest organization of American nuns of espousing "radical feminist" ideas. MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell discusses the charges with Sister Jeannine Gramick, who was once silenced by the Vatican, and Jeff Stone, communications director of Dignity USA.

They report directly to the pope, who Lombardi said, was being kept informed of the investigation.?

Like a Dan Brown book? Vatican allows mobster to be exhumed

Benedict has not commented directly on the scandal.?

Meanwhile, hundreds of demonstrators marched to St. Peter's Square on Sunday to demand information on Emanuela Orlandi, the daughter of a Vatican messenger who disappeared in 1983 at the age of 15.?

Various theories have surrounded her disappearance, linking her kidnapping to an attempt to free the Turkish gunman who shot John Paul in 1981, or to alleged Vatican financial dealings with a Rome criminal gang.?

The march came a day after an Italian prosecutor told CNN that a priest who used to run a church in Rome is under investigation on suspicion of complicity in her?abduction.

Reuters and The Associated Press Press contributed to this report.

Nano vacuum tubes could give a second life to the guitarist's best friend

Pretty much the only place you see vacuum tubes any more is inside a quality audio amp. But, once upon a time, they were the primary ingredient in any piece of electronic equipment, including computers. The glass tubes have since been replaced with the smaller, less fragile and cheaper to manufacture silicon transistor. There are, however, disadvantages, to transistors. For one, electrons tend to move more slowly though the semiconductors, and two, they're highly susceptible to radiation. The second of those problems doesn't affect us much here on Earth, but for NASA it poses a major obstacle. Engineers have finally managed to combine the advantages of both vacuum tubes and silicon transistors, though, in what has been dubbed "nano vacuum tubes." They're created by etching tiny cavities in phosphorous-doped silicon, bordered on three sides by electrodes that form the gate, source and drain. The term "vacuum tube" is slightly misleading however, since there is no true vacuum in play. Instead, the source and drain are separated by just 150 nanometers, making it highly unlikely that flowing electrons would run into stray atoms. In addition to their space-worthy hardiness, they can also potentially operate at frequencies ten-times as higher than silicon transistors, making them a candidate to push terahertz tech from experimental to mainstream.

Sony Removes Xperia PLAY From ICS Update List

Owners of the PLAY will no longer receive ice Cream Sandwich.

Sony has removed the Xperia PLAY device, from the list of handsets that will receive the Android 4.0 OS.

Back in December 2011, Sony released the Android 4.0 update roadmap, which listed all of the current devices were set to receive the Android 'Ice Cream Sandwich' 4.0 update.

Sony has now announced in a blog post that "after extensive in house testing with our developer teams and working with our partners, we have concluded that a consistent and stable experience, particularly with gaming, cannot be guaranteed for this smartphone on Ice Cream Sandwich - therefore, we will not make the Android 4.0 upgrade available for Xperia PLAY."

The following handsets are still listed in the queue for the ICS update; Xperia arc, Xperia arc S, Xperia neo and neo V, Xperia mini and mini pro, Xperia pro, Xperia active, Xperia ray, Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman.

The Xperia PLAY shipped with a slide-out PlayStation-esque games controller, a 4in display, 512MB of RAM and 400MB of internal memory. The device also comes with an 8GB microSD card to increase the phone's available memory, but users can extend this with a 32GB card.

The device features a Qualcomm 1GHz Scorpion processor, a five-megapixel camera capable of 720p video recording, and it ran from the Android ?Gingerbread' 2.3 OS.

A Better World | The Four-Way Test ? personal ethics, business ...

If everyone used the 4-Way Test the world would be in perfect harmony. Everyone would tell the truth and never tell a lie. Everyone would be fair and share. People could work out their problems like what they should do first and last when two people want to do something different. Everybody would be nice and not fight. More people would be friends, not enemies. It would be beneficial because people would be nice and trustworthy. People would be all the previous.

People would help people in need and help people with work. We would have more schools, better schools, better colleges, and better jobs. Also the black wouldn?t fight the white and the white wouldn?t fight the black. There wouldn?t be war. Many deaths wouldn?t have happened. There would be many deaths avoided. There would be no slavery. Stuff would be finished sooner. There would be no use for weapons. There would not be any school fights at all, and I mean at all.

Mich. wildfire grows to more than 21,000 acres

This photo provided by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources shows a wildfire in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The fire grew by 17 percent to more than 21,000 acres Saturday, May 26, 2012, as officials warned of tough conditions and welcomed help from water-dumping aircraft from the Michigan National Guard.

NEWBERRY, Mich. (AP) ? A wildfire in Michigan's Upper Peninsula grew by 17 percent to more than 21,000 acres Saturday as officials warned of tough conditions and welcomed help from water-dumping aircraft from the Michigan National Guard.

Wind gusts were predicted at 15 mph and high temperatures were in the 60s in a dry, remote part of the state where access has been tricky because there are few roads. Tahquamenon Falls State Park, a popular destination for campers seven miles from the fire, was closed.

The fire, known as the Duck Lake Fire, was 20 percent contained in Luce County, about 75 miles northeast of the Mackinac Bridge, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources said. The fire was described as long and narrow, stretching 11 miles north to Lake Superior.

Fewer than 100 people have been evacuated, said Dean Wilson, a spokesman for the fire management team.

More than 40 structures have been threatened and at least six are lost. It's not clear whether they were homes or outbuildings. Wilson said he didn't have an update Saturday.

"Structure protection is high priority and is being closely monitored from the air. ... Potential for blow-up conditions" continues, the Department of Natural Resources said in a statement.

The Rainbow Lodge, which includes a campground, motel and cabins near Lake Superior, was closed. A recorded message by co-owner Kathy Robinson said she had been evacuated and that the property may have been damaged by fire.

"I'm sorry," she said.

Some people more than 100 miles away in the northern Lower Peninsula reported smelling smoke. The Michigan National Guard dispatched four aircraft and 40 people to the Duck Lake fire and another in Schoolcraft County.

"The Blackhawks typically hoist 900-gallon buckets to unload water on fires. This method has proven very successful in wildfires in other regions," said a spokesman, Capt. Aaron Jenkins.

Wilson said curious people on all-terrain vehicles must stay away.

"It's not a big problem but it does exist. If the wind picks up, the ignition of dry fuel is almost instantaneous," he said.
