Apple sues Motorola right back over six patents

What, you didn't think Apple was just going to sit around and take it after Motorola first sued for patent infringement and then asked to court to declare some 20 of Cupertino's patents weren't applicable to its products, did you? Apple's fired back with two lawsuits claiming that Motorola's Android phones, including but not limited to the Droid, Droid 2, Droid X, Cliq, Cliq XT, BackFlip, Devour A555, Devour i1, and Charm, infringe a total of six multitouch and OS patents. That would be pretty much par for the course -- you sue me, I sue you -- but there are a couple interesting strategic wrinkles to note:
  • We've only seen Apple litigate one of these patents before: #7,479,949, Touch Screen Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Determining Commands by Applying Heuristics. You should remember it well -- it's the patent covering scroll behavior on multitouch screens that was hyped as "the iPhone patent" and triggered a press frenzy over a possible Apple / Palm lawsuit. As we predicted at the time, that hasn't yet materialized, but old '949's gotten pretty popular: Apple's asserting it against Nokia and HTC as well.
  • Apple might be suing over six patents in these two cases, but ultimately Apple will claiming Motorola's devices infringe a total of 26 patents -- part of Apple's defense to Motorola's 20-patent lawsuit will be to claim that Moto's in fact infringing each of those patents. That's a lot of patents across a lot of devices, and it'll just take one finding of infringement to cause a lot of pain.
  • Apple's filed its two cases in the Western District of Wisconsin, a patent "rocket docket" that tries cases quickly and are often perceived as being plaintiff-friendly. (Part of the Apple / Nokia lawsuit is happening in this same court.) Moto's obvious next move will be to try and consolidate all these cases into a single proceeding at one court, a procedural tactic that will take likely take months. And that's just the first step. Don't expect these cases to be decided for at least a year -- probably many years -- unless Apple and Motorola decide to settle, which is always possible.
  • Apple's now seriously engaged in litigation with the two largest Android handset makers (HTC and Motorola), largely over OS-level patents. At some point Google has to get involved, if only to indemnify its partners against further liability for using Android, and we can't help but think Apple and Google are eventually bound to face off directly. Or perhaps not -- by suing Android handset makers, Apple's essentially putting a tax on Android without having to further muddy up its complex competitor / partner relationship with Google by adding in a major lawsuit.
We've added in a list of the patents after the break, if you're interested -- and we know you're interested, right? It's not like it's a beautiful Saturday afternoon or anything.

The Mysterious Secret of Chinese Chi-Kung/Tai-Chi/Qi-Gong & Longevity

The Mysterious Secret of  Chinese Chi-Kung/Tai-Chi/Qi-Gong & LongevityThe Secret of Chinese Chi-Kung & Longevity

For the first time, the mysterious Chinese Chi Kung is explained
in a scientific way, easy to understand and easy to practice.

Once and for all, everything you wanted to know about "CHI", Revealed!


Introduction To Chi-Kung

1. The brief history of Chi Kung in China.
2. What is Chi Kung?

3. What are the advantages of practicing Chi Kung?
4. What kind of people can practice Chi Kung while what kind of People can not?

5. How to use this e-book to learn Chi Kung?
6. Why Chi Kung can heal chronic diseases?



1. The brief history of Chi Kung in China:

The history of Chi Kung can be traced back to about five thousand years ago in China. Since there were emperors

ruling over the country claiming to be the â??Son of the Skyâ?� (天å­�, a traditional concept that was used to fool the

common people, â??Skyâ?� in ancient time in China sometimes is equivalent to â??Godâ?�, the emperors wanted the people

to believe that they were authorized by â??Godâ?� to rule over, so listen and obey at all time, no question asked)

who loved the power, glory, position and privilege so much that they wanted immortality.

People of knowledge tried very hard to satisfy their emperor. Roughly speaking, there were two groups of people

studying this, the first group tended to use medicine, it ended up that eleven emperors in Chinese history have

been poisoned to death by this so called â?�Immortality Medicineâ?�.

The second group found that the best medicine had been existing in our bodies already, which were born with. Our

job is to cultivate it, make it stronger and accumulate it to a certain part of the body and make use of it.

People practice this tends to live longer according to statistics but not yet be immortal. This kind of

exercises is called â??Chi Kungâ?� to-day.



2. What is Chi Kung?

In China, it is called â??Chiâ?�, in Japan it is called â??Kiâ?�, have you ever heard of Aikido? In India, it is called

â??Puranaâ?�, ask the Yoka people,In Philippine, it is called â??Manaâ?�, in Europe, it is called â??Auraâ?�. There are

about 30 names for about the same thing. You see, in human history, not only Chinese struggled to find out the

secret of â??Chiâ?�. Around the world in the past, people sensed that there was something you couldnâ??t see, didnâ??t

know what color, how heavy, what smell, closely related to our bodies and lives did exist.

In this book, I try to explain everything from the point of view of a scientist, so you can understand and

handle it easily. Iâ??m not going to use those abstract, fancy, classic, difficult Chinese terminologies.

Therefore I choose a term which is more substantial in the Western World to describe it. You can temporarily put

it equal to â??bio-electricityâ?� for the time being (actually it is more than that).

Our bodies are conductors, electricity can pass through. You know some eel can produce electricity, so do our

bodies. But why we donâ??t feel it, the reason is that the electricity we produce is too weak to be detected. But,

in some special situation, the famous Chinese scientist, the father of missile of China -------- Dr. Chin Hoc

Sum called it â??The Chi Kung Situationâ?�, we can feel it. This e-book teaches us how to practice to set up this

Chi Kung Situation so that we can feel this bio-electricity and accumulate it to become stronger and stronger,

finally it circulate along the meridians driven by or led by our â??Intent æ?� â??.

Kung (å??) in Chinese means â??exerciseâ?� or â??functionâ?� or â??workâ?? sometimes. This means that we have to work for it.

We reap what we sow.
