Google's bid for an injunction halting the sale of Microsoft products based on Motorola Mobility's standard-essential patents (SEPs) has failed.
A federal judge in Seattle last Thursday said the SEPs, which in this case cover video decoding, can't be used for injunctions.
He's the same judge that wouldn't let Motorola enforce its German injunction against Microsoft's Xbox, Windows 7 et al for the same reason. That order - already upheld by a US appeals court - has been reaffirmed in this latest "worldwide" decision.
Judge James Robart said monetary damages for any infringement are enough of a remedy.
His summary judgment found that "Motorola's obligation to grant such a RAND (reasonable and non-discriminatory) license to Microsoft far preceded the onset of this litigation, meaning that at all times during this litigation, the issue was not if, but when and under what terms, a license agreement would be established between Microsoft and Motorola. Thus, because Motorola has always been required to grant Microsoft a RAND license agreement for its H.264 standard essential patents, as a matter of logic, the impending license agreement will adequately remedy Motorola as a matter of law."
The judge also held that Motorola "has not shown it has suffered an irreparable injury or that remedies available at law are inadequate to compensate for its injury" since "Microsoft will pay [court-decided] royalties under any license agreement from the time of infringement within the statute of limitations."
Judge Robart, who is expected to decide the amount of the royalty early next year, came to kind of the same conclusion as Judge Richard Posner in an earlier Apple-Samsung case. Posner basically said that someone who makes a FRAND promise can never ask for more than monetary compensation but that was without a license agreement in the offing.
Google has said it spent $12.5 billion buying Motorola Mobility for its patents and has demanded Microsoft pay a royalty of 2.25% of the retail price of each product, which Microsoft reckons would amount to an over-the-top $4 billion a year.
Like Apple, it has refused to license Motorola's SEPs on terms that aren't FRAND and sued Motorola for breach of contract. Robart has already ruled that Motorola had a contractual obligation to license its SEPs on fair terms.
Judge Robart made his decision "without prejudice" but the only way Google can reopen the issue is if the circumstances change. Presumably Google will appeal.

For those of us that have been practicing SOA for over a decade, it's surprising that there's so much interest in microservices. In fairness microservices don't look like the vendor play that was early SOA in the early noughties. But experienced SOA practitioners everywhere will be wondering if microservices is actually a good thing. You see microservices is basically an SOA pattern that inherits all the well-known SOA principles and adds characteristics that address the use of SOA for distribut...

Microservice architectures are the new hotness, even though they aren't really all that different (in principle) from the paradigm described by SOA (which is dead, or not dead, depending on whom you ask). One of the things this decompositional approach to application architecture does is encourage developers and operations (some might even say DevOps) to re-evaluate scaling strategies. In particular, the notion is forwarded that an application should be built to scale and then infrastructure sho...

Microservices are the result of decomposing applications. That may sound a lot like SOA, but SOA was based on an object-oriented (noun) premise; that is, services were built around an object - like a customer - with all the necessary operations (functions) that go along with it. SOA was also founded on a variety of standards (most of them coming out of OASIS) like SOAP, WSDL, XML and UDDI. Microservices have no standards (at least none deriving from a standards body or organization) and can be b...

Right off the bat, Newman advises that we should "think of microservices as a specific approach for SOA in the same way that XP or Scrum are specific approaches for Agile Software development". These analogies are very interesting because my expectation was that microservices is a pattern. So I might infer that microservices is a set of process techniques as opposed to an architectural approach. Yet in the book, Newman clearly includes some elements of concept model and architecture as well as p...

Microservices, for the uninitiated, are essentially the decomposition of applications into multiple services. This decomposition is often based on functional lines, with related functions being grouped together into a service. While this may sound a like SOA, it really isn't, especially given that SOA was an object-centered methodology that focused on creating services around "nouns" like customer and product. Microservices, while certainly capable of being noun-based, are just as likely to be v...

This is a handy wrench in a sort-of stubby size. The locking mechanism adds some length, making it longer than a regular stubby or non-locking flex stubby wrench, but it's still handy when you need a shorter wrench at an odd angle. Made in USA.

You kneeled down to her level and kissed her on the cheek before tightening up one of her blonde pigtails that drooped from her nap in the car. She turned when you were done and faced you, putting her hands to your cheeks to pull you forward and kiss you on the nose with a "mwah!"

You turned to your left to see Arthur spying you and making his way over. To your right, you heard footsteps and turned your head in that direction to see Antonio making his way over to you also. You groaned, already expecting their banter.
They both gave you a smile, sweet and genuine. When they saw each other, they gave each other horrendous glares. Both of them each took one of your hands, claiming some sort of possessiveness over you.
"You both seem like you have something important to say." You looked at each of them whilst glaring at each other. They heard your words, but they were just waiting to see who would respond first.

The frigid snowstorm was coming too quickly. You looked around but the snow was so thick, you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. You had been wandering around in the blizzard for God only knows how long. It could have been hours, it could have been minutes. The piercing shrill of the wind rang in your ears and slowly stung at your face. You didn't know how much longer you could keep going. Your feet were numb from exhaustion and your body wracked with a permanent chill. As the freezing wind encased you, it set a reminder there was no escape from this icy hell.

Christmas shopping was one of your favorite parts of Christmas. Right now, you were sitting in the food court of "your" mall – you called it that because you went there for just about everything. You weren't shopping obsessed, but when there was something that needed to be bought, this would be the first place you'd check...and they'd always have whatever it was that you wanted. It was close to your house, so getting there was never a problem.
You took a bite of your food as you checked off your mental list of people to get presents for. Almost all of your friends had gotten something, except one. Your phone went off; playing the tone you had set for Netherlands. You smiled and picked it up. "Hey, Neth." You said.

Report: Iran Now Enriching Uranium
Well, if you are RON PAUL!!!!!1!!! you won't care until a nuclear weapon is exploded in Israel or on American soil, but, for the rest of us not living in FantasyLand, this is bad news
(Fox News) Iran has begun uranium enrichment at a new underground site well protected from possible airstrikes, a leading hardline newspaper reported Sunday.
The announcement came as another newspaper quoted a senior commander in the country's powerful Revolutionary Guard as saying that Tehran's leadership has decided to order the closure of the strategic Strait of Hormuz if the country's oil exports are blocked.
Tehran says it only seeks reactors for energy and research, and refuses to halt its uranium enrichment activities.
Kayhan daily, which is close to Iran's ruling clerics, said Tehran has begun injecting uranium gas into sophisticated centrifuges at the Fordo facility near the holy city of Qom.
"Kayhan received reports yesterday that show Iran has begun uranium enrichment at the Fordo facility amid heightened foreign enemy threats," the paper said in a front-page report. Kayhan's manager is a representative of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
True or not true, that is one of the questions. The other is, if they haven't started yet, when will they start? And what will they do with the materials? Quite frankly, I think the US and EU missed a big opportunity to make sure that the nuclear program would simply be for energy production. Both the Bush and Obama administrations could have said, along with the EU and other members of the Non-Proliferation Treaty "oh, sure, hey, we can help you with that, as the NPT lays out, and, since Iran is a signatory of the treaty, we will help you build a nuclear power plant (that is incapable of producing weapons grade material, that will be monitored physically, and will have all sorts of hidden fail-safes that you will not see and would never be able to remove)." Iran would have had the choice to accept and show that they were truly using the reactor for peaceful purposes, or reject the offer and show that they really do want nuclear weapons.

UNICEF and partners continue to support over 140,462 South Sudanese refugees of which 87 per cent are women and children in the districts of Arua, Adjumani and Kiryandongo.
UNICEF working with the Government of Uganda carried out an integrated nutrition screening through expanded programme on immunization outreach points and enrolled 2,254 children in refugee settlements into therapeutic feeding programs.
The total number of South Sudanese refugees who have entered Ethiopia since the outbreak of the conflict in mid-December 2013 is now 192,734, including 4,575 unaccompanied minors and 14,258 separated children. In total 250,000 South Sudanese refugees are resident in Ethiopia, Gambella Region.
The average daily arrival rate of South Sudanese refugees to Gambella Region has remained low during the month of January, with an average of 78 individuals
JUBA, South Sudan/NAIROBI, Kenya, 28 February 2015 – Scores of children seized by armed men from a village in northern South Sudan two weeks ago remain forcibly recruited as child soldiers, despite intensive efforts to locate and free them.
One week ago UNICEF reported that 89 children preparing for exams were forcibly recruited as child soldiers, but the organization now believes the number of children may be in the hundreds. In addition, adult males were also forcibly recruited during the February 15 and 16 raid.
Forced recruitment and other grave child violations continue. Last week, 89 children were forcibly recruited from Wau Shiluk, however, it is believed that the number may be much higher. Some witnesses have noted that at least some of these children are receiving military training. Reports of forced recruitment in other parts of the country were also received this week and UNICEF and partners are now working to verify the number of children who may have been forcibly recruited and to advocate for their release.
JUBA/NAIROBI/NEW YORK, 21 February, 2015 – UNICEF condemns in the strongest terms the abduction of scores of boys, some as young 13, by an armed group near Malakal in the north of South Sudan.
A UNICEF education team reported that 89 children were abducted while doing their exams. The actual number could be much higher.
The incident occurred in the community of Wau Shilluk in Upper Nile State where thousands of people have been internally displaced by the ongoing conflict.

Returning to the classroom is a welcome occasion for students and teachers alike in one town in South Sudan, but continued conflict and displacement mean that their safety remains fragile.
BENTIU, South Sudan, 20 February 2105 – William, a teacher in Bentiu, in South Sudan's Unity State, cannot stop smiling. He has waited for this day a long time. The school where he taught until one year ago is reopening, and he is back in his old classroom, ready for the students.
JUBA/NAIROBI/NEW YORK, 19 February 2015 – Approximately 400,000 children whose schooling has been interrupted by the conflict in South Sudan will have the chance to return to their studies over the next 12 months.
The 'Back to Learning' campaign, which was launched in Juba today by UNICEF and the President of South Sudan Salva Kiir Mayardit, will reach out-of-school children in all 10 states, including areas currently engulfed in conflict.
At the start of 2015, the multiple crises in Sudan remain amongst the worst affecting children in the world today. 3.24 million children are targeted for humanitarian assistance programmes under the Strategic Response Plan (SRP).
UNICEF distributed 16,250 blankets in response to one of the coldest periods in Darfur in the past decade which coincided with increased displacements of people following intensified conflicts in Um Baru, North Darfur and Eastern Jabel Marra.
The release of children associated with the Cobra Faction is continuing, with a further 298 children released during this reporting period (all boys). UNICEF and partners are supporting the released children with immediate interim care – shelter, education, clothing and basic health care as well as counselling and psychosocial support.
Children are increasingly vulnerable to recruitment and use by armed groups as conflicts around the world become more brutal, intense and widespread, UNICEF and the UN Special Representative for Children and Armed Conflict said today to mark the International Day against the Use of Child Soldiers.
JUBA/NAIROBI/GENEVA/NEW YORK, 10 February 2015 – UNICEF and partners are overseeing the release of another 300 children from an armed group in South Sudan.
The children in Pibor, Jonglei State, surrendered their weapons and uniforms in a ceremony overseen by the South Sudan National Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration Commission, and the Cobra Faction and supported by UNICEF. They will spend their first night in an interim care center where they will be provided with food, water and clothing. They will also have access to health and psychosocial services.
· According to FEWSNET, an estimated 1.5 million people remain acutely food insecure, mostly in pastoral and marginal agricultural areas. Compared to 2013, this food insecure population is 75% higher. Key food insecurity drivers are the cumulative effects of below-average rainfall reasons, food prices rising to above their five-year averages, conflicts in some pastoral areas, and crop diseases in the high potential areas.
JUBA, South Sudan, 4 February 2015 – UNICEF urged warring groups in South Sudan to follow up fast on the ceasefire deal reached Monday or face potentially catastrophic food shortages in the conflict areas of the country.
Based on the latest Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) group of experts' report released this week, the ongoing conflict is sharply reducing food supplies and slowing humanitarian access to those who most need assistance.
The release of an estimated 2000-3000 children from an armed faction in South Sudan began today in Greater Pibor, in the eastern part of the country. Saudamini Siegrist, Senior Adviser for Child Protection in Emergencies at UNICEF, recently travelled to the country to assist with the preparations for the release. She sat down with UNICEF Connect to share some of her experiences.

The Temporary Gentleman
"In this highly anticipated new novel, Irishman Jack McNulty is a "temporary gentleman"--an Irishman whose commission in the British army in World War II was never permanent. Sitting in his lodgings in Accra, Ghana, in 1957, he's writing the story of his life with desperate urgency. He cannot take one step further without examining all the extraordinary events that he has seen. A lifetime of war and world travel--as a soldier in World War II, an engineer, a UN observer--has brought him to this point. But the memory that weighs heaviest on his heart is that of the beautiful Mai Kirwan, and their tempestuous, heartbreaking marriage. Mai was once the great beauty of Sligo, a magnetic yet unstable woman who, after sharing a life with Jack, gradually slipped from his grasp"--

This product is great for waterproofing shoes, bags, anything made of leather. Due to the fumes, you really should use this outdoors, but after it dries, I didn't notice any odors at all. I really love how easy this is to use, and the great results. I'll be ordering more to use this on all of my leather items. Please ignore length, width, and arch support as they were required for the review but N/A for this product.
I used this product on my leather/mesh hunting boots to repel water and my feet have been perfectly dry so far. I bought 2 pair of rather high end leather tennis shoes and used this on both pair before I wore them. I have not had either pair in wet conditions, but it gave the leather a nice sheen and feels silky soft to the touch.

It is always so hard to talk about me. I am single with children and grandchildren. I love the time I spend with the little ones but some say I spend too much time with them, so here I am. Trying to make a change and meet new friends. I do enjoy the time I spend with my adult friends so I am seeking new ones. I have not been in a relationship for some time. I am independent and self sufficient and respect and look for the same in others. I like going out and trying new things but have been home for awhile. I am ready to start living life again with the right person. I like trips and drives out to discover new things. I am up to most anything. In my experience I have found that it is difficult to find a person that is confident in them-self. It doesn't matter what the profession, confidence does not automatically come but it is a wonderful thing to have and to see in others. First and foremost what I want is friendship, anything that happens beyond friendship will be great. I don't handle people that lie, cheat or that is into game playing well at all, life is so much better without the drama. Honesty is a virtue and hard to find but I can't give up on that.
