Does that look like a Nintendo DS to you?

DS Double Sys is not, theoretically,North Face Footwear, an emulator. The game is a simulation of a Nintendo DS. That might have helped the app gain admission into the App Store.

8swr Verpflichtung zur Versicherung im Mietvertrag

admin — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 19:12:00 +0000

Solche vertraglichen Vereinbarungen sind nicht üblich in einem Mietvertrag, für den Mieter überraschend und somit unwirksam. Desweiteren ist aus dieser Vorschrift zum Abschluss einer Versicherung nicht die H?he der Zusatzkosten ersichtlich, die sich für den Mieter ergeben würden. Vermieter versuchen durch solch eine Formulierung zu verhindern, dass Sie bei eventuellen Sch?den in der Wohnung die Kosten übernehmen müssen.

Grunds?tzlich sollte jeder Mieter – unabh?ngig von einer der erw?hnten unwirksamen Klausel im Mietvertrag – eine Haftpflichtversicherung abschlie?en, um sich bei einem Schadensfall abzusichern und den hohen finanziellen Aufwand abzudecken. Der Abschluss einer Hausratversicherung liegt im Ermessen jedes Einzelnen. Diese deckt nicht den Diebstahl von Eigentum des Vermieters, zum Beispiel in m?blierten Wohnungen. Für diese F?lle springt die Haftpflichtversicherung ein.

Verpflichtung zur Versicherung im Mietvertrag unwirksam

Ein Vermieter darf seinem Mieter keine Vereinbarung im Mietvertag aufdr?ngen, die ihn verpflichtet, eine Haftpflicht- oder Hausratversicherung abzuschlie?en.

Date set for NASA hacker hearing in U.K.

A date has been set for the Britain’s high court to consider whether self-confessed NASA hacker Gary McKinnon should be tried in the U.K.

Gary McKinnon

McKinnon, accused by U.S. prosecutors of the “biggest military hack of all time” back in 2001, is pursuing a judicial review of a decision by the Crown Prosecution Service not to prosecute him in the U.K. Prosecution in the U.K. would enable McKinnon to avoid extradition to the U.S., where he runs the risk of a prison sentence of up to 60 years, according to his legal team.

The high court judges are also in the process of reviewing the legality of former Home Secretary Jacqui Smith’s denial of McKinnon’s second appeal to the Home Office, despite knowing that he had been diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome.

If the judges find Smith was in error, the decision on McKinnon’s extradition could be passed back to current Home Secretary Alan Johnson. However, if they rule that Smith was right, McKinnon will appeal to the House of Lords, Todner said. McKinnon’s team will then take their case to the European Court of Human Rights if a House of Lords appeal fails, she added.

Lord Justice Stanley Burnton and Justice Alan Wilkie will hear on July 14 the London resident’s application for a judicial review, McKinnon’s solicitor, Karen Todner, told ZDNet UK on Tuesday.

If the judges grant McKinnon’s application for the judicial review, then the review itself will be heard on the same day.

Ysar British Airways to allow in-flight texting_51

British Airways announced this week that it would initiate limited cell phone use on an upcoming route between London and New York City. Voice calls will not be permitted, but passengers will be allowed to send and receive text messages and e-mails.

British Airways to allow in-flight texting

Go ahead, send that all-important text.

Other airlines have experimented with in-flight cell phone use, including Ryanair, Qantas, Air France, and Emirates. Only Emirates allows voice calls onboard, but other airlines, British Airways included, say they might permit in-flight talking, depending on passenger feedback.

British Airways didn’t disclose pricing for the service, but we wouldn’t be surprised if it was included in the price of the business-class ticket. Though avoiding the trek to Heathrow may attract busy financial titans shuttling between The City and Wall Street, the price of a ticket is not expected to be cheap.

The airline will limit the service to twice-daily flights between London City Airport and New York’s JFK that are due to start in September. The all-business class route is flown by a narrow-body Airbus A318 aircraft that must make a stop in Ireland on the westbound leg. The configuration will allow for just 32 seats.

tqbn Book- Microsoft promised Toshiba HD DVD suppo

admin — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 18:19:00 +0000

In the second half of 2004, Microsoft struck roughly 20 new deals, including with some big names such as Cisco and Samsung, but the company was having a tough time striking deals with Japanese PC makers.

The strategy ultimately paid off, as Microsoft went on to sign a host of such deals, including with other Japanese firms such as Fuji Xerox, Seiko Epson, and NEC.

The software maker may have had many reasons, including the fact that its technology was used by HD DVD, but another reason was that Microsoft had promised HD DVD format backer Toshiba that it would do so as part of its effort to win a patent cross-license deal with the Japanese electronics giant.

Book: Microsoft promised Toshiba HD DVD support

Even after it was clear that Blu-ray would win the DVD format race, Microsoft continued to stand behind the rival HD DVD.

Microsoft lawyer Anne Kelley and her team were trying to get Toshiba to sign a deal in a matter of weeks as opposed to the year or so such an agreement would normally take to hammer out. The HD DVD pledge was only part of Microsoft’s effort, which also included sharing some of the future things it was working on that might interest Toshiba.

“Kelley’s team also reaffirmed its support for Toshiba in its battle with Sony over DVD formats,” Phelps and Kline wrote. “As she put it, ‘we let them know that Microsoft would stick with them till the end.’”

During her years at CNET News, Ina Fried has changed beats several times, changed genders once, and covered both of the Pirates of Silicon Valley. These days, most of her attention is focused on Microsoft. E-mail Ina.

In February 2005, Microsoft general counsel Brad Smith held a mid-year review meeting in Building 43 on Microsoft’s campus, stressing the importance of cracking that market. “I conveyed my concern in the meeting about the lack of progress in Japan,” Smith is quoted in the book as saying, “and I started to push Anne and the team pretty hard on how and when we might improve this.”

“We did everything we knew how to do to show them that this was a new Microsoft they were dealing with,” Kelley says in the book. “We studied Japanese, we went to cultural training and we constantly reminded ourselves that we needed to create a relationship, not just get a deal done.”

That’s among the interesting tidbits tucked away in Marshall Phelps’ new book, “Burning the Ships,” which I wrote about earlier Tuesday. Phelps, a top Microsoft lawyer, and co-author David Kline suggest that Microsoft had already decided to back HD DVD, but that the company redoubled its support as part of its effort to woo Toshiba to become the first big Japanese firm to take a cross-license to Microsoft’s patents.

The company decided to focus on winning a deal with one company: Toshiba.

At the same time, winning the deal with Toshiba was key for Microsoft in its efforts to convince large companies, even those with broader patent portfolios, to cross-license Microsoft’s technology.

The battle between the formats was a high-stakes affair, with Toshiba and Blu-ray proponent Sony each trying to line up backers for their formats. In the computer world, Intel and Microsoft backed HD DVD, while Dell and HP aligned with Blu-ray.

‘Energy junkies’

admin — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 02:10:23 +0000

“The result of this increase in transmission capacity will be to encourage even more giant wind turbines to seek connection to it in order to feed energy junkies down
south.
“We are concerned about the impact of this powerline and its relationship to the government’s energy and environmental policy.
“There is increasing opposition to large-scale, land-based wind farms in Scotland, and with the executive making changes to the funding arrangement to encourage more
marine energy, government policy is beginning to point more in favour of large-scale schemes being located offshore.”
The RAS has urged the executive to hold a public local inquiry to examine the implications of the project.
Mr Young said: “We have submitted an environmental assessment on the project, which is replacing existing pylons.
“The length of transmission line at Cairngorms National Park would also be reduced.”
The Scottish Executive said it had received a planning application for the project and that it could be subject to a public inquiry.

Wallace Monument

The line would cross the Cairngorms National Park and pass within sight of the Wallace Monument in Stirling.
Objections have already been lodged by the Cairngorms National Park Authority, Scottish Natural Heritage, Highland Council, Perth and Kinross Council and Stirling Council.
The Scottish Executive has told Highland Council that an inquiry should begin in early 2007 and it is estimated it would sit for approximately nine months.
A report put together by council planning officials on how to limit the costs will be presented to the authority’s planning and development committee on Wednesday.
They recommend appointing one advocate to represent all the local authorities affected.
However, the report points out that even the costs of a single lawyer would be between £270,000 and £450,000.
On top of that would be the expense of professional witnesses such as engineers to advise on burying sections of the power line through environmentally sensitive areas.
A special meeting of Highland Council’s planning committee was held in Inverness in April to consider the application.
A presentation was made by SSE officials and objectors also had the opportunity to make their views known.
Later, John Rennilson, the council’s planning director, said the committee recognised that a high voltage electricity transmission system was key for the development of renewable energy in the Highlands.
