Quote:The United States Patent and Trademark Office has upheld a key Apple multitouch patent in a move that could have real ramifications for companies like Samsung and Motorola moving forward. The USPTO issued a certificate on September 4th confirming the patentability of all 20 claims of US patent number 7,479,949. An initial ruling back in December of last year had rejected them, but this latest reexamination certificate basically walks that back in its entirety.
The '949 patent covers multitouch functionality, such as the ability for a device to interpret a diagonal downward swipe as a purely vertical gesture in order to allow pages to scroll smoothly and consistently for users. It's a patent of particular note as it's been used by Cupertino against both Samsung and Motorola. In fact, it's one of the patents at issue in the ITC's recent ruling to ban the import of some Samsung products into the United States. As a result of that ruling, Samsung will have to ensure that the devices it sells in the US do not infringe upon any of the involved patents — and with this latest USPTO action, one avenue through which to resolve that issue has been shut down for good.

You might or might have not heard of the Silk Road before. If you have not then you just need to know that it was basically the largest online market for drugs. As of today the Silk Road is no more (unless some other site takes its place but I doubt it).
Reuters Wrote:U.S. law enforcement authorities have shut down "Silk Road," an anonymous Internet marketplace for illegal drugs like heroin and cocaine and criminal activities such as murder for hire, and arrested its alleged owner.
Quote:A Grand Theft Auto fan was hit with a brick, stabbed and robbed of the new computer game moments after queuing to buy it.
The 23-year-old was attacked as he made his way home from a supermarket in the early hours of this morning.
He had been to the Asda superstore in Colindale, North West London, which had opened late for the worldwide release of the fifth version of the notoriously violent game at midnight.
A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "Wee were called at 1.20am to Princes Avenue, Colindale. A 23-year-old man was shopping, then on his way back home he was hit with a brick and stabbed.
"He was robbed of items he had bought from a nearby Asda supermarket, including a copy of Grand Theft Auto."
Police believe the attack was carried out by multiple suspects but said it remained unclear how many were responsible.
The victim was taken to a north London hospital, where he was in a stable condition this morning.
Detectives have asked witnesses to contact Crimestoppers with any information on the attack.
Twitter users meanwhile expressed their shock at the violent mugging, with one writing, "It's just a game".
The release of Grand Theft Auto V was expected to break sales records after hitting the shelves today.
Amazon, the online retailer, has already sold out of the game, which reportedly cost around £170 million to make and market.
Experts estimate it could generate £1 billion during its first year on sale when gamers are predicted to buy some 25 million copies.
Kevin McFeely, from the GAME store, said the company opened as many branches as it could last night.
GTA V has received rave reviews from critics across the board, who have labelled it "one of the very best video games ever made".
Sony revealed a ton of stuff tonight at its pre-TGS press conference, but perhaps the biggest surprise (well, other than a PS Vita redesign) was the unveiling of an all-new piece of Vita-related hardware. It’s called PS Vita TV, and it lets you play Vita games on your television... and do a bunch of other stuff, too.
PS Vita TV is a tiny piece of hardware. It’s about as big as a deck of cards, measuring 6cm by 10cm. It’s the smallest PlayStation hardware ever.
The idea of PS Vita TV is to let you play Vita games on the big screen using a DualShock 3 controller, but there’s actually more to it than that. While PS Vita TV has a card slot for Vita games, and accepts Vita memory cards, it will also let you use video streaming services (such as Hulu) and more. It will even let you play your PlayStation 4 via Remote Play with DualShock 4; this functionality will come later via system update.
It will also let you play PSone Classics and PSP games through it, again using the DualShock 3. And it will connect to PlayStation 4 so that you can play Vita games through PS4, as well.
PS Vita TV launches in Japan on November 14th, and will cost 9,480 Yen ($95). A special verison of it, packing an 8 gig Vita memory card and a DualShock 3 controller, will cost 14,980 ($150). It sounds like it will eventually be released in the west, though a specific release date (as well as pricing information) is still unknown.
Now I got Atelier Totori Plus and was kind of disappointed, or more like pissed simply because it was digital only and you couldn't delete individual save data so in order to have one total save data you had to constantly back it up to your computer and the game was 3gb's so it took half an hour to back up your current save and was ultimately a pain in the donkey.
Well I am happy to say, although still pained as it is once again, Digital Only. Atelier Meruru Plus does have a individual save data delete option, so you can rejoice and get the game, without having to be furious about your messy saves.
Now if only Gust would update Atelier Totori Plus to have the same option.
Another thing to note, Atelier Totori Plus had some severe slow down moment's when loading character models into an environment, this has been fixed by the addition of loading screens, instead of just throwing you right into the next environment you'll have to wait at a black screen for a little bit, but it's a lot more pleasant, then lagging about.
And Here's a wallpaper I shopped up for those of you who have both Atelier Totori Plus and Atelier Meruru Plus
Apple has lodged an audacious Australian trade mark application for the term ‘STARTUP’, covering a whole host of products and services.
The ‘STARTUP’ application was lodged yesterday, August 27, by the Californian headquarters of Apple and a Sydney-based legal representative, Baker & McKenzie.
If accepted, Apple would hold the trade mark of the word ‘STARTUP’ under various retail, computing, mobile and educational classes. Specifically:
Class 35: Retail store services, including retail store services featuring computers, computer software, computer peripherals, mobile phones, and consumer electronic devices, and demonstration of products relating thereto
Class 37: Maintenance, installation and repair of computer hardware, computer peripherals and consumer electronic devices; consulting services in the field of maintenance of computer hardware, computer peripherals, and consumer electronic devices
Class 41: Educational services, including conducting classes, workshops, conferences and seminars in the field of computers, computer software, computer peripherals, mobile phones, and consumer electronic devices and computer-related services; providing information in the field of education
Class 42: Design and development of computer hardware and software; technical support services, namely, troubleshooting of computer hardware and software problems; installation, maintenance and updating of computer software; technological consultancy services in the field of computers, computer software and consumer electronics; computer diagnostic services; computer data recovery
...
The trade mark application is at the very early status of ‘Filing – Approved’, meaning it has not been seen by an IP examiner.
Huh. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll be off eating an oblate red temperate-tree-growing fruit.
