This week on Continuum Milton Scheuermann and Thais St. Julien present a live recording of a recent Musica da Camera concert about Love.
The music is of diverse places and times and includes selections by medieval composers Petrus de Cruce, La Comtessa de Dia, Guillaume de Machaut and, of course, the ubiquitous Anonymous. The program is from the Musica da Camera's CD, Love Is Where You Find It, Belle Alliance BA007.
What do you get when you combine modern jazz, the music of Woody Guthrie, Delta blues, and Antonín Dvořák's "American" String Quartet?
You get Luke Winslow-King.
Born and raised in Michigan, a crime landed him in New Orleans. But, ever the optimist, Winslow-King decided to stay. And yet, the road has been more of a home in recent years. While he's back home now, Winslow-King spent the final months of 2013 on a European tour.
This week on Continnum Milton Scheuermann and Thais St. Julien present early music of the Ars Nova (the musical style which flourished in France and the Burgundian Low Countries in the Late Middle Ages).
Included will be a performance of the anonymous 14th century Mass of Tournai and the music of Guillaume de Machaut (c.1300-1377). Performers include The Clemencic Consort, Ensemble Organum, and The Hilleard Ensemble.
The music is from the CD, Harmonia Mundi — Century 6, from the ten CD set of Early Music on the Harmonia Mundi label.
It's easy to tease out the artists who've inspired A.J. Croce's singing over the years — Ray Charles, Paul McCartney*, Buddy Holly, even Ray Davies of The Kinks. He loves early rock n roll and R&B. So perhaps it's ironic that A.J. rarely sounds like his father, singer-songwriter Jim Croce, who made his mark on music in the late 1960s and early 70s.
With nine albums to his credit and more than 20 years as a touring musician, A.J. Croce is his own man, performing his own music. And a devoted fan base has shown its appreciation for the genre-busting of the younger Croce.
This week on Continnum Milton Scheuermann and Thais St. Julien present dance music that may have been heard in The Garden of Mirth (a garden of love) from the 13th Century poem, The Romance of the Rose, an allegory of courtly love. Lovers were supposed to have met in the garden, enticed by Cupid.
Performers are members of the English early music ensemble,The Dufay Collective. The CD, A Dance in the Garden of Mirth, is Chandos CHAN 4320.

Six months ago, we brought you the story of the Edna Karr High School marching band in New Orleans. Two members of the band in particular, snare drummer Charles Williams and tuba player Nicholas Nooks, or Big Nick as his friends call him, earned scholarships to Jackson State University in Mississippi — their dream.
The marching band at Jackson State is known as the Sonic Boom of the South. Band camp began in August with 164 freshmen. But after weeks of late nights and early mornings, musical training and also push-ups, 24 had quit.
This is not John Philip Sousa's band music. Don't get us wrong, Sousa is in the pantheon of them-who-haul-brass-through-the-streets, but we suspect the maestro might be surprised by the music today. Which, if you think about it, is good.
Otherwise, there would only be the old-timey brass band idiom and the genre would have lost touch with the people.
Which is precisely where this music has always lived. With military bands and civic orchestras and parades and funerals and weddings, brass band music has always been popular music.
And in New Orleans, it still is.
This week on Continnum Milton Scheuermann and Thais St. Julien present harpsichord music by the French composer and harpsichordist, Francois Couperin (1668-1733).
His most intriguing harpsichord work without a doubt is "The Mysterious Barricades". Music historians and scholars have never been able to give a reason for the name of the composition. Perhaps Couperin had a future vision of the many streets in uptown New Orleans now being closed by barricades and repaired as a result of hurricane Katrina, nine years ago.
An Hour with The World's Greatest Drummer
The only thing more fun than talking to Shannon Powell is listening to him play. Powell is one of the most charismatic drummers to ever grace a stage. His secret? "I'm happy," Powell tells Music Inside Out. "I was a happy child. I'm a happy spirit."

In certain New Orleans music scenes, there is a special sound — a signal — that lets players know it's time to pick up their instruments and strike up the band.
"It's a bugle call, or a band call, to assemble," trumpeter Leroy Jones says.
"It's like: C'mon, rally," musician Matt Bell adds. "Come to the bandstand and be ready to do it. Let's go."
The four-note phrase, however, doesn't belong to musicians alone. Another common New Orleans species, the mockingbird, also produces the call.

Kuwait's Global completes 1st year of debt rescheduling
Kuwait's Global Investment House said on Saturday it had completed the first year of its debt rescheduling after making a principal payment of $27 million.
December 11, 2010 4:18 by Reuters
Kuwait's Global Investment House said on Saturday it had completed the first year of its debt rescheduling after making a principal payment of $27 million.
"With this payment, Global met its first year repayment commitment stated in the debt rescheduling agreement signed with 53 lending banks on 10 December 2009," the company, one of Kuwait's biggest investment firms, said in a statement.
The company reached a deal with creditors a year ago to reschedule $1.7 billion in debt.
"Since signing the rescheduling agreement, Global has made interest payments of $82 million in addition to settling the 20 million Kuwaiti dinar ($71.1 million) bond on its due date of 23 December 2009, less than two weeks after signing the debt rescheduling agreement," the statement said.
"Following repayments of $28.9 million on 21 April, $50 million on 21 July and $72.5 million on 21 October this year, the company has now repaid a total of $178.3 million which is $5.8 million in excess of the agreed repayments due in the first year," it added.

I have been trying to solve this in different ways, but haven't make it work as expected, I feel it isn't so big deal (I really hope so) but my experience and skills with Ajax and jQuery are kind of limited that's why I am appealing to your expertise!
I am working on a chart similar to the one here http://www.jqplot.com/tests/data-renderers.php. but in my case the json file is generated depending on a value that the user choses from a select box. I am using 2 files and ajax calls to accomplish this:
-AnnualB.html is the file where the select box is located and the chart should be displayed.
-Index.php is the file where the query to the database is made (using the value obtained from the selectbox in AnnualB.html) and the json array is generated.
In AnnualB.html I use the GET method to retrieve the value from the selectbox and send it to Index.php, which generates the json data. Based on that json data the chart has to be created in AnnualB... Here is where my problem comes. The function to generate the chart is working fine and the call to send the select value and return the json is also working (have checked with Firebug), but I know am missing something (but don't know what yet) because I don't manage to pass the json data to the function that generates the chart.
My codes in AnnualB.html goes like this (abbreviating some irrelevant information with ...):
Function to generate the chart (Is working ok if the json data is passed)
function CreateGraph() {
var ajaxDataRenderer = function(url, plot) {
var ret = null;
async: false,
url: url,
success: function(data) {
ret = data; }
return ret; };
$.jqplot.config.enablePlugins = true;
var jsonurl = "./index.php";
var plotData = ajaxDataRenderer(jsonurl);
var series = ...
plot1 = $.jqplot('Chart1', series,{...}}
Ajax Call (PROBABLY WHERE MY MISTAKE/OMISSION IS)
function LoadGraph(int)
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
{xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();}
{xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");}
Select box
<select name="tasel" size="1" onchange="LoadGraph(this.value)">
<option value="">Select accounts type:</option>
<option value="3">Tuloslaskelma</option>
<option value="2">Tasevastattava</option>
<option value="1">Tasevastaava</option>
The related code in Index.php goes like this (Is working ok when the value of the select box (tasel) is passed)):
$tasel = $_REQUEST['tasel'];
if ($tasel == ...2)
echo "[",$selite, ",";// These 2 variables create the json array
echo $finaljson, "]";
Thanks in advance for your patience and help!

CHERRY HILL, N.J. - The Loyola University Maryland rowing teams turned in strong performances at the highly competitive Knecht Cup in Cherry Hill, N.J., on Saturday afternoon.
The men's varsity four had the best showing of the afternoon, qualifying for both the semifinal and petite final round on the Cooper River.
Joe Wawrynski, Bryan Carney, Walter Horan, Craig Spicer and coxswain Patrick Flynn won an automatic bid to the semifinal round, after finishing in the top-six with a first round race time of 7:06.03.
"Coxswain Pat Flynn says the boat has been pushing themselves to race more efficiently at a higher tempo and he can feel the improvements," said head coach Al Ramirez. " We had the same lineup as last weekend hoping to make improvements, and the boat was able to rise to the occasion and record the highest speed thus far of the season."
The Greyhounds flew through the semifinals with an even better time of 7:05.14. The men will take on Fordham, Pittsburgh, Fairfield, Wentworth, and Drexel Sunday morning in the petite final.
On the women's side, Shannon Connelly and Kathleen Sweeney recorded a pairs time of 9:17.46, while the varsity four boat tabbed a time of 8:26.38.

NEGATIVES: you only get 1 toilet roll your entire stay! you have to buy your own!, which is unbelievably shocking, the rooms are only cleaned 3 times a week, which means the bins are not emptied for days, which is disgusting considering you can't flush your toilet paper, (well i stay cleaned the bins are emptied and beds are made thats all)floor was never even swept the entire week. cleaner left the patio door open after she had been in so when we arrived back to the hotel hours later we found the room was left completely unsecured. was not impressed! there is no microwave. there is a bike hire shop opposite which can be very noisy but not the hotels fault and really handy if you want to hire one. there is no hook to hold the shower up in any of the rooms. very hard to shower when you have to hold the shower head the entire time. we stayed in room 7 which was annoyingly right next to a pink noisy house, every 30 secs there water tank (im guessing it was) made a annoying loud noise which could be heard even when all doors and windows are shut and had to listen to it for 7 days, the pillows are wafer thin and you only get one, was so glad i brought a travel pillow with me

My trip to Raleigh, lot of pics
Still on the job hunt and relocation dream. I spent the last week in Raleigh with a short visit to Columbia, SC while on several interviews. Hopefully getting closer to moving. While there I couldn't resist the opportunity to visit JC Raulston Arboretum when seeing the sign. All in all, I was pleasantly surprised to see all of the plants there that grow unprotected, you would never know it by driving around Raleigh. I saw 2 trachies there the entire time I was there outside of Raulston. One was a 6-7 foot trachy at a house in Cary, 1 was a 2 foot trachy in a pot at a hotel I interviewed at. I may have been the first person to tour the place in a suit and tie. I didn't get a whole lot of time there, I was on a mission to find a job, so I toured the whole place in about 20 minutes. Between the humidity, the suit and the pace at which I was walking, I was sweating quite profusely!
I also brought down and planted a few things at my buddy's house at which I stayed in Holly Springs. He graciously allowed me to stay with him for 6 days so I brought him down a few extra plants that I had, that certainly won't make it here, plus I won't feel like moving a bunch of plants when I will most certainly be renting for awhile.
Anyways, on to Raulston, definitely worth a visit, I will definitely take my time there next time.
I believe this is a Birmingham
I don't know what this is but while it looks like rostrata, it was HUGE! Much larger than the rostratas they had there, the pic doesn't do it justice.
5 trachy clump
No idea what the plant on the right is?
On the way back from Columbia to Raleigh, I just had to stop!
This is what I planted at my buddy's, I don't remember genus and species, but I believe it's a holly fern?
I honestly don't remember, I though I put an alocasia in this pot, but apparently a colocasia.
Trachy, can't wait to grow gardenias when I move!
I also can't wait to have my rosemary look like this in a couple of years!
OT: I was here 3 times throughout my stay. I'm a big foodie and love farmers's markets. My wife made a comment that it is our next supermarket. This Farmer's Market at NC State is the best I've ever been to. This is only a small portion of what is available under the NC grown only section. I bet there were also at least 20 plant vendors, fish market, pork stores, and all sorts of other stuff.
Awesome pics from a very nice climate! It definitely would be nice for you to move down there, I'm sure there are a lot more plants you'll be able to grow there!

Next time you are in Raleigh, visit Pullen Park. There are (or were anyway) quite a few very tall Windmill palms there last time I was there but that was also about 8 years ago. If you google "pullen park palm trees" a good number of photos of them come up. When I was there there was also TONS of seedling windmills growing all over the place as well. So many people grow this palm from the mid Atlantic states, southward it would not shock me to see them start to naturalise in some areas especially from South Eastern Virginia southward. Maybe even in the DE/MD/NJ coastal areas as well. Nice pics! Thank you for sharing!

It has nothing to do with force, it has to do with consequences. Those who reject paying their taxes and our system of peaceful central banking accept the opposite, choas and disorder.
Which leads to corruption and suffering for billions. Thus those who caused such corruption and suffering in America will do the maximum time in prison. Or do you think that they should benifit like those who were good serfs and paid their taxes for America?
I must admit, this post in particular points out how sick you people are. If you aren't a Christian, you are the cause of all evil in the world and deserve to be tortured forever. Gee, why is the world messed up mommy? Xenophobia, hate, division, sadism. All the fine qualities of the hell-based christian religeon.
You want "consequence?" Our world is a mess because of diseased ways of thinking like this. Institutionalized, hate filled ologarchal collectivism at our very roots thanks to this.

Fertilizing with 10-10-10
I talked to a person that had a beautiful lawn the other day and asked what he used. He told me he used the cheap stuff from Home Depot. It is 10-10-10. He said I can put down as heavy as I want every 8 weeks. He said that was all he did and has beautiful grass. Is this fertilizer any different than the 4 step I'm on now? It is defenitely cheaper, but if it works I would love to try it.
Dear Sharp claws
Thank you very much for your inquiry. Fertilizer is fertilizer we like to say, it will all work and none will work if you know how (or donÂt) to use them. A product like 10-10-10 can work, but it going to require frequent reapplications, as noted. The biggest plug for some of the turf fertilizers is the combination of nitrogen sources that provide a longer type control. But, if you can go to your lawn every 3-5 weeks with a regulated dose of a soluble nitrogen source then it will work fine.(now you are treating your lawn like the golf course and stadium guys). Please remember that s fertilizer with a highly soluble nitrogen source (like10-10-10) will have burn potential and will need to be watered in and not used when it is really hot and dry outside
Again, thanks for the question and let me know if you have more.

The Yard Doctor
I moved into a new home last year with a huge backyard (8,000 sq ft.) it came with no grass. I was told the seller had seeded the yard but I waited and waited. It is now March of 2011 and I desire to have a yard full of grass. I do have that nasty VA clay and I was told to get about 10 bags of lime and lime down the yard until it was gray - over seed and water. I was further instructed to use one bag of 10 10 10 for the entire yard. Will that's all I need for that amount of sq footage? Thanks.

WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2011
ECW in Universe
If I put a bunch of people on ECW and turn Superstars into ECW myself will the CPU book matches for them and place them in the rankings or am I free to control them as I please?
Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast!
It will have to be all your control.
From: Sephiroth311 | Posted: 11/20/2010 5:34:20 AM | #001
Unfortunately, no. The only way you will see people show up in Universe mode is if you assign them to the RAW or SmackDown brands. If you assign them to any other brands, they simply won't show up in Universe (unless you manually put them there in each and every single show you want them to be in).
Sucks, I know.

X-Box Live Gamer Tag (feel free to add me): darb yelur
Actually, free agents and people set to ECW show up in Universe if you use them. They just don't appear in rankings and aren't eligible for CPU set title matches... But they will randomly appear on any show.
From: Viking_Funeral | Posted: 11/20/2010 1:06:17 PM | #004

I had an ECW brand for awhile, and dedicated the Superstars program to those wrestlers.
GT: TenaciousBobby
I havent tried yet but can you freely defend the ECW title?
Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast!
^ Not in Universe as far as I know.
I was under the impression Superstars was a mix of Smackdown and Raw superstars. It doesn't have it own title or rankings so I think it's best to put your ECW guys on Raw or Smackdown myself then the CPU has no choice but to book ECW guys how you want it to. I'm not sure how the CPU you deal with it on superstars though.
Although the rankings and title for that brand thing might not bother you been as you still will go up the rankings and be able to get title shots at PPV's.
One who knows nothing can understand nothing - GamerTag: wwinterj/PSN wwinterj add me :D
Yeah, I wish that they would let you do your own brand or at least let you do either WCW or ECW and chose the day. Why have the brands, sets, and titles when you really can't use them like this?

Gay Head - Aquinnah Waterfront Vacation Rentals(14)

Recent Gay Head - Aquinnah Reviews
Breathtakingly beautiful views, amazing house
I didn't think the house and views could exceed the gorgeous pictures posted, but they do! First time to Martha's Vineyard, myself, my 2 sons and their girlfriends (from NY, NJ and MA) were looking for a beautiful place to spend our Thanksgiving holiday (including cooking the Turkey dinner). Our family experienced a loss recently, so we wanted a very special place to gather for this holiday. We wanted a place overlooking the ocean with that wind-swept, alone-with-nature, no neighbors feel, and it is exactly that, and more. The house is wonderful, period. The kitchen is fabulous and very well equipped, the bedrooms great, the living areas fantastic and the deck wonderful (even in the cold!). Long walks on the amazing beaches, long conversations on the couches overlooking the ocean - no matter what the weather this house is amazing. Sunsets to endlessly photograph. We feel so snuggled in when it's storming, with dramatic seascapes from every window - and when it's sunny it's equally amazing. Completely exceeds the rather high expectations I had. My son, not given to effusive compliments, said 'Mom, I'll remember this week forever'. So will I. The owner, Adam, is great. Responsive, and interested in us having a wonderful time - he called after we got here to make sure we knew how to get to the more out-of-the-way, breathtaking beach walks. His family has furnished this home wonderfully in an interesting, eclectic way, which increases the experience - no hotel furniture-type house - it really does elevate enjoyment of our vacation. He responds immediately to any emails or requests and really cares about not only Martha's Vineyard, the area and the house, but that his renters enjoy it as much as his family does. I feel very, very fortunate to have stumbled onto this complete gem, and will rent again from Adam in the future. FYI: The WiFi Internet works great (I own an Internet business and can't be disconnected, even on vacation), our cellphones, AT&T and Verizon, work fine enough. There is one -only one- neighbor pretty close, but you can't see the neighboring house from 90% of windows
Secluded Gem
This is one of those very special places that you're hesitant to write about because you don't want the secret to get out. Aquinnah is a beautiful part of Martha's Vineyard, and Anne and Andy's spot is truly magical. It's located on a dirt road, near the Western tip of the island, surrounded by trees, with a commanding view of the Sound - I can't imagine a better location. The house itself is simple in the best possible meaning of that word. It has a classic beach house feel, and is more spacious than the pictures imply. I could go on about the lovely house, the spectacular location and the gracious owners, but you get the idea. Just go, and be prepared to feel sorry for everyone in the world who isn't you.
La casa dei miei sogni
Sono tre anni che affittiamo questa casa per il gruppo FLY ANGLING CLUB MOSCA CLUB D'ITALIA Milano per la nostra vacanza di pesca agli striper bass. La casa è in ottima posizione, a 100 passi dal mare. E' ben tenuta, con tutti i comfort.

The Iogear GVE320 HD Audio/Video Extender System With CAT5e/6 And HDMI extends the connection between a media source and a display unit by up to 200 feet at 1080i and 130 feet at 1080p via two Cat5e or Cat6 cables.
The sophisticated system supports HD and 3D, and 12-bit deep color. It offers Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio pass-through support and features manually-adjustable equalization.
Useful for home-entertainment, commercial, and security purposes, the GVE320's sender and receiver units are each equipped with two Ethernet ports that the Cat5e/6 cables connect into. Each unit also has one HDMI port -- an input on one, an output on the other. Via HDMI, a media source connects to the sender, a display unit to the receiver, and the sender and receiver connect via Cat5e/6. A Blu-ray player and a TV can thus be connected yet kept in separate rooms, with the TV on display in one room, and the Blu-ray out of sight in another.
The sender and receiver are metal-cased and conveniently rack-mount and wall-mount with included mounting kits. The units are backward compatible with DVI devices by way of HDMI to DVI adapters. The system is HDCP-compliant.
Please note that HDMI and Cat 5e/6 cables are not included. Two identical, solid Cat5e or Cat6 cables would be required. And extension range may vary with different devices and different Cat 5e/6 cables.

Morosi: Santana could lift Blue Jays' chances to 'conceivable'
MAR 08, 2014 4:31p ET
DUNEDIN, Fla. -- Last year, the Toronto Blue Jays were a popular pick to finish first in the American League East. This year, they're a popular pick to finish last. One lousy season was all it took to change the perception of essentially the same group of players.
The reality: The 2013 Blue Jays weren't as good as the expectations suggested nor as bad as they looked during a 74-88 slog. Consider the players who have departed since the start of last season: J.P. Arencibia, Emilio Bonifacio, Rajai Davis, Mark DeRosa, Henry Blanco, Josh Johnson, Darren Oliver and Brad Lincoln. With all due respect to their respective abilities, I wouldn't describe any of them as exceedingly difficult to replace -- aside from what Johnson was supposed to be.
If, before the blockbuster trade with the Marlins, you had told Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos that Johnson would go 2-8 with a 6.20 ERA in only 16 starts, the deal wouldn't have happened. In acquiring Johnson, Mark Buehrle and R.A. Dickey, the Jays validated the notion that they needed three proven, reliable starters atop the rotation to compete in the AL East.
Therein you have the rationale for the Jays' pursuit of free agent Ervin Santana.
"It's not the same players: We're missing Josh Johnson, who was supposed to be a big key to our rotation," Toronto right fielder Jose Bautista said of the 2013-2014 comparison. "One-fifth of your rotation shouldn't be overlooked. That's important. That's why it's so important that we add (Santana)."
Bautista has followed the Santana negotiations closely. The two friends were on the same side of a recent shakeup at the Proformance sports agency. Jay Alou, former head of Proformance's Latin American division, resigned from the agency within the last several days and is now representing clients on his own. Bautista confirmed Saturday that he, like Santana, is now represented by Alou, the son of former major league outfielder Jesus Alou.
One industry source told FOX Sports 1 that Santana has not set a deadline to make a decision and is prepared to wait "days" before signing with a club.
Even with Santana, questions would persist about the Toronto rotation. But if the Jays spend $14 million on a one-year deal for him, as they would like to do, they will buy a chance to dream again. Their chances to contend in baseball's most brutal division will be upgraded from "remote" to "conceivable."
What if Santana repeats last year's showing in Kansas City -- 9-10 with a 3.24 ERA in 211 innings? What if Buehrle delivers his usual 200-plus innings with an ERA near 3.80? What if Dickey adapts his knuckleball to the AL East and lowers his ERA from last year's 4.21 to around 3.90?
What if the injury-prone Brandon Morrow and Drew Hutchison, who is coming back from Tommy John surgery, each give the Jays about 120 decent innings? What if Ricky Romero, who has battled severe control issues since an All-Star season in 2011, continues the progress he showed in Friday's outing?
What if prospect Marcus Stroman, who isn't major league ready yet, refines his changeup and contributes in the second half?
It's not farfetched to predict that three or four of those scenarios will come to pass. And if that happens, well, the Blue Jays have a chance. After all, a visitor to Red Sox camp at this time last year wouldn't have looked at the Boston rotation and declared that team a lock to reach the postseason.
Surely, there must have been something to all of the optimism for baseball in Toronto last year. Right?

An Occlusion-Reduced 3D Hierarchical Data Visualization Technique
Free registration required
Executive Summary
Occlusion is an important problem to be solved for readability improvement of 3D visualization techniques. This paper presents an occlusion reduction technique for cityscape-style 3D visualization techniques. The paper first presents an algorithm for occlusion reduction. It generates bounding boxes of 3D objects on the 2D display space, moves them to reduce their overlap, and finally reversely projects their movements onto the 3D space. The paper then presents an application of the algorithm to our own hierarchical data visualization technique, and a music browser based on the technique. The paper also shows several numerical evaluations that denote the effectiveness of the presented technique.

EU Charges Samsung With Abusing Vital Telecoms Patent 96
from the jig-is-up dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
they do nothing to Apple and their rounded corners?
Indeed, "such rights should not be misused". So why granting bogus patents on obvious features that lead to such abuses? They should fix the system, not try workarounds!
Apple tried to lowball the licensing at less than a quarter of the rate others were paying. Of course Samsung is going to say No to Apple.
Comment on OSnews:
http://www.osnews.com/thread?546002 [osnews.com]
Apple sue nearly every manufacturer over generic shapes and actions, and the government just give a green light for dumb intellectual property to be registered.
Samsung sue Apple over actual inventions, and they get investigated.
This world is going to the shits.
(yes I know Samsung's patents were dubious because of being FRAND, and in an ideal world they shouldn't have used them. But in an ideal world they shouldn't have had to counter sue because Apple generic design patents).
I agree. This is what patents are for after all. Why only have shitty patents for things not important and punish people who've got the real stuff? Make sense? Remove them already.
Why does this stupid fandroid argument still get modded insightful on
The basic concept is essential vs non essential patents. Essential patents are supposed to be licenced out so as not to be used as a monopolization tool, where as stuff that isnt essential to compete , not so much.
Considering "rounded corners" wasnt even a patent, and its entirely possible to put out a phone with other shaped corners, then no this is not a legitimate comparison at all.

The Florida Panthers prospect pool has seen significant turnover at the minor league level over the last six months. Some players have graduated to the NHL while others have been traded. Several new faces have joined the professional ranks for the first time. After all of the movement is accounted for, what remains is perhaps the strongest minor league group of prospects the Panthers have had in a long time, if ever.
