Does Seagate own the patents to the flash hard drive?
,----[ Quote ]
| STEC is a small player. If it wins, other industry players will applaud its
| pluck. If it loses, other manufacturers of flash drives like Intel, Toshiba,
| and SanDisk might decide to line up dutifully to pay Seagate royalties. And
| since there may not be a pre-existing lawsuit, there won't be as much bad
| blood.

Terms and conditions apply: patent deal agreed for LTE

| The big radio network technology players seem to have banged each others'
| heads together in a pre-emptive strike against intellectual property
| squabbles over LTE (long term evolution, the favoured technology for 4G).
|
| Alcatel-Lucent, Ericsson, NEC, NextWave Wireless, Nokia, Nokia Siemens
| Networks and Sony Ericsson (not Qualcomm, although it has committed to
| producing LTE chips) say they’re going to spare us the usual courtroom
| dramas and agree a solid licencing regime for LTE before they start
| producing kit.

Seagate releases workaround for Linux users
,----[ Quote ]
| Papadopulos denied that Seagate was snubbing Linux users. The Maxtor OneTouch
| 4 Plus and OneTouch 4 Mini ship with a Linux boot CD that works in
| conjunction with Maxtor Safety Drill as a bare metal restore.
|
| The Maxtor OneTouch 4 and OneTouch III do not have any problems with spinning
| the drives up through Linux after sleep mode, he said.
|
| It is just the Free Agent range as we reported. What a palaver.
