theodp writes "In the Amazon v. Pinpoint lawsuit, which claims that Amazon's personalized book and music video suggestions infringe on Pinpoint's business-method patents, Amazon's motion for summary judgment has been granted in-part, with a judge ruling one asserted patent invalid, but allowing other claims to move toward trial. BTW, Amazon continues to bolster its own patent portfolio, picking up a patent last week for Locating Web-Based Product Offerings."

spam case 02/05/2005 10:10 PM
A 24-year-old former American Online software engineer pleaded guilty to stealing 92 million screen names and e-mail addresses and selling them to spammers, setting off an avalanche of up to seven billion unsolicited e-mails. Associated Press reports that the stolen list of 92 million AOL addresses included multiple addresses used by each of AOL's estimated 30 million customers. It is believed to be still circulating among spammers. Jason Smathers of Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, entered the guilty plea to conspiracy charges in U.S. District Court in Manhattan today. He is likely to face from 18 months to two years in prison following a May 20 sentencing. He also faces mandatory restitution of between $200,000 and $400,000, the amount the government estimates AOL spent as a result of the e-mails. Smathers, who was fired by AOL last June, used another employee's access code to steal the list of AOL customers in 2003 from its headquarters in Dulles, Va. He allegedly sold the list for $28,000 to Sean Dunaway, of Las Vegas, who used it to send unwanted gambling advertisements to subscribers of AOL, the world's largest Internet provider. Charges are pending against Dunaway.

The Hubble Space Telescope and beyond

The Hubble Space Telescope and beyond 11/12/2003 01:15 PM
The Hubble Space Telescope can be considered one of the most important science instruments created so far. Its service record is beyond impressive, but as it approaches its 14th anniversary of service it is becoming clear that new instruments are needed to complement or replace the now aging Hubble. Instruments that will include all technological advancements in optics and electronics that we have developed since the Hubble launch in 1990. Hubble will serve for at least 10 more years, but there is already the project underway that is aimed to create a new instrument that will help the scientists to observe in even more detail: The James Webb Space Telescope.

Hubble Telescope Instrument Out of Order

Hubble Telescope Instrument Out of Order 08/09/2004 07:00 PM
An instrument that helped the orbiting Hubble Space Telescope look at black holes, newly forming stars and far-off galaxies has broken down, and NASA said Monday it is looking at possible ways to fix it. The instrument, called the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph, was installed in 1997 and was designed to operate for five years. But it may be possible to rescue some of its operations, NASA said.

The space agency said Hubble's other instruments -- the Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer, the Advanced Camera for Surveys, and the Wide Field/Planetary Camera 2 -- are all operating normally. NASA said an electrical malfunction may be to blame. A similar problem affected the instrument in 2001, forcing a switch to the backup side. Now the backup side has failed, NASA said.

Economics of Scientific and Biomedical Journals by Haekyung Jeon–Slaughter, Andrew A. Herkovic, and Michael A. Keller
htt p://www.firstmonday.org/issues/issue10_3/jeon/index.html

Abstract:
The emergence of e–journals brought a great change in scholarly communication and in the behavior of scholars. However, the importance of scholars’ behavior in the pricing of scientific journal has been largely ignored in the recent debate between libraries and publishers over site license practices and pricing schemes. Stanford’s survey results indicate that sharply increasing costs are the main reason for individual subscription cancellation, driving users to rely on library or other institutional subscriptions. Libraries continue to be a vital information provider in the electronic era and their bargaining power in the market and the importance of roles in scholarly communication will be increased by branding and a strong relationship with users. Publishers’ strategy for thriving in the electronic era is not to lose personal subscribers. Cooperation among the three sectors — scholars, libraries, and publishers — promises optimal results for each sector more than ever.

While online versions of “Nature”, “Science” and “Proceedings of the National Academy of Science” enjoy widespread readership in the scientific and medical communities, a recent survey shows that researchers most often read specialty journals that are closely associated with their particular field. Additionally, the prestige of a journal and the size of its overall readership do not always result in exceptionally high levels of user satisfaction. [PRWEB Mar 25, 2005]
