users to share content among many users in a home while protecting it
from neighbors within range of a home wireless LAN, says Rob Crooke,

iMac G5 that includes the entire
system inside a 17- or 20-inch LCD screen. Continuing the all-in-one
theme
that started with the original CRT iMac, the G5 edition features a new
industrial design that does away with the hemispherical base of the
previous
generation all together. Schiller said that the new iMacs will be
available
in mid-September.

Clearwire's Non-WiMax Now Non-Useful:
Blocks VoIP, Streaming Media
Clearwire's Non-WiMax Now Non-Useful:
Blocks VoIP, Streaming Media
03/25/2005 05:06 PMCraig McCaw's Clearwire wireless outfit has received plenty of
attention -- mainly for being run by Craig McCaw. Late last year,
Intel had to
pay
Clearwire to convince them to use WiMax (which, still doesn't
actually exist) as the core of their wireless offering, as WiMax was
proving to be increasingly less than the hype would have you believe.
Earlier this month, Bell Canada made a surprise announcement, saying
they would
provi
de VoIP for Clearwire in the US -- giving the Canadian telco a way
to enter the US market. Still, it appears the folks at Clearwire
haven't been paying attention to the whole "network neutrality" debate
or the fact that an ISP has been
fined
for blocking Vonage. Instead, Clearwire
proudly states
that they will
block any application they don't like -- including
non-Bell Canada VoIP and any streaming audio or video offering. In
other words, Clearwire's wireless broadband is becoming close to
useless, because they want to control what you can and can't do over
it. They claim they need to do this "to ensure network performance
reliability," but can't explain how it's okay for them to offer VoIP,
but Vonage must be blocked. More importantly, if Clearwire is saying
they can't have a stable network when people are doing VoIP or
streaming media, it certainly raises
a lot of questions about
the quality of WiMax.
Acacia Research Corp. claims patent on
streaming media
Acacia Research Corp. claims patent on
streaming media
11/10/2003 10:58 PM
Acacia Research Corporation has recently filed notices of
infringement with over a dozen colleges and universities over their
claim to own the patent on streaming media. According to the company,
their
patent on Digital
Media Transmission (DMT)
involves the transmission and receipt of
digital audio and/or audio video content via a variety of means
including the internet, cable, satellite, and local area networks.
Acacia's move could be a costly one for
universities, as the company is demanding 2% of revenue for courses
that use sound and video on the web. While some universities are
considering fighting the patent claim in court, others may license the
technology from Acacia, joining a variety of
Internet radio stations and
adult entertainment companies that recently entered into similar
deals.

08/10/2004 12:19 PM
Some American colleges and universities received anticipated
letters this week from
Acacia Media , requesting the payment of licensing fees for
streaming media. The firm
has sent letters to dozens of colleges in recent days claiming the
schools' use of streaming video in areas like distance learning and
video lectures violates company patents. The message: pay up, or risk
getting sued.
"Certainly for colleges that do a lot of distance education, this
could be a major problem," said Steve Worona, director of policy and
networking programs at EDUCAUSE...
Acacia has been campaigning
for fees for streaming media, for which it claims several patents as its intellectual
property .
