Patent Law Reform On The Way?

The FTC made recommendations to Congress for revising patent law that included making it easier to challenge the validity of questionable patents.

This appears to be jumping on a bandwagon. Although the U.S. Supreme Court recently refused to hear the challenge to a dubious process patent, the dissent by three Justices suggests that the courts will change patent law if Congress doesn’t do so soon.

A Neat Way To Exercise While At Your Computer

During my flight to Orlando for JVAlertLive, I sat next to Sharon Odom Fling, an Internet Business Consultant who was on her way to StomperNet. If you need an online consultant, contact her by clicking here.

From a health and fitness standpoint, however, you’ve got to check out her laptop/treadmill combination.

Rather than sitting all day at a desk, you could burn calories and build muscle while walking and typing at the same time.*

…That’s it for this week.

Google, AT&T, And Net Neutrality Update

Using these restrictions as a model, Google is lobbying Congress to pass legislation that provides Internet neutrality with respect to access, thereby preventing ISPs from charging higher rates for priority access to the Net.
