EU Court Puts Strict Limits on Cell Phone Patents

The European Union’s top court set limits on the ability of mobile-phone makers owning key industry patents to use court injunctions to thwart competitors seeking to use the technology in their own equipment.

CHICAGO (Sun-Times Media Wire) -

Police are warning West Side residents after a man tried to lure two young girls into his van with candy last Thursday outside a school in the Austin neighborhood.

The sisters, ages 6 and 9, were leaving the after-school program at Hay Community Academy, 1018 N. Laramie Ave., at 4:45 p.m. when a man standing next to a white van asked them, “Hi girls, do you want some candy?” according to a community alert from Area North detectives.

The girls returned back to the school and notified school personnel, police said. When the adults checked, the man and the white van were gone.

#TCOT #CCOT Parents angry after school tells 13-year-olds they can have sex, choose gender

Students at Acalanes High School in Northern California were given this gender identity chart in a sex ed class conducted by the local Planned Parenthood chapter.

Students at one northern California high school are learning more than just the birds and the bees.

Along with local area groups, some parents are irate that their children’s sex ed class at Acalanes High School in Lafayette is being taught by employees of Planned Parenthood without their prior knowledge. They are also fuming over the methods and materials being used, including a checklist that asks students if they are “ready for sex” and another worksheet that describes how to give and obtain consent, as well as a diagram that uses a "genderbread" person for lessons in gender identity.

“[Parents] are very concerned,” Brad Dacus, president of the Pacific Justice Institute, a non-profit legal organization that is assisting the concerned parents, told FoxNews.com. “Planned Parenthood is not exactly the best when it comes to putting young people first.

“They get more grants from the promiscuity of children,” he added. “The material they have provided was material that mirrored their agenda.”

#Sex, Lawyers and Videotape: Cobb Judge Hears Hours of Debate

Attorneys for each side predict dire results if judge rules against them in suit filed by Waffle House chairman

John Disney/Daily Report

The question of whether lawyers can be sued for what they did during litigation—allegedly helping their client make an illegal sex video—sparked a 3½ hour debate Wednesday before Cobb County Superior Court Judge Robert Leonard II.

One side predicted allowing the suit would unleash "angry spiteful litigants" to sue the lawyers of their divorcing spouses and warring business partners, flooding the courts with lawsuits about lawsuits. The other side insisted that barring the suit would allow lawyers to "lie, cheat, steal, rape and kidnap" with immunity.

'Big Data Is Like Teenage Sex': 4 Ways to Unravel The Mystery

“Big data is like teenage sex: everyone talks about it, nobody really knows how to do it, everyone thinks everyone else is doing it, so everyone claims they are doing it…”

Last year TED speaker, best-selling author and Duke University professor Dan Ariely posted this status update on his personal Facebook page. The message has since been shared nearly 800 times across the social network and liked by over 1,700 people. It’s also been widely quoted online, across blogs, forums and news sites.

For years now, Big Data — the name give to the deluge of digital interactions companies have with clients — has been hyped up as a kind of “crude oil” of the new millennium, hugely valuable but useless if unrefined. Yet many businesses still haven’t quite figured out how to take this plentiful resource and turn it into fuel. A recent study by Gartner showed that while 64 percent of companies are deploying or planning to deploy a Big Data project, 56 percent struggle to understand how to get value from their data. A big part of the problem: Advanced software suites and analytics experts are generally needed to make any sense of the terabytes of raw information that can be collected daily.

Vine announced that it has changed its rules and terms of service to no longer allow users to post sexually explicit videos.

The video-sharing social network said users who are found to post pornographic videos will be subject to having their accounts suspended.

"We don’t have a problem with explicit sexual content on the Internet -- we just prefer not to be the source of it," Vine said in a blog post Thursday.

S.F. gay rights advocate sentenced for child porn

A perv is a perv is a perv - and by any other name...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(03-05) 18:53 PST SAN FRANCISCO -- Veteran gay rights advocate and former San Francisco Human Rights Commission staff member Larry Brinkin was sentenced to one year in county jail Wednesday for possessing child pornography.

As part of a plea agreement, Brinkin, 67, will serve six months of his sentence in county jail and six months in home detention, the district attorney's office said. He will have to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.

Brinkin, who worked as a senior contract compliance officer with the rights commission until his 2010 retirement, was arrested in June 2012 after e-mail attachments were found on his AOL subscriber's account that contained images of toddlers engaged in sex acts with men.

Gawker Media Versus Hulk Hogan: A Court Fight Over a Sex Tape

JULIE HILDEN

On January 17, a Florida appellate court issued its opinion (which is not yet finalized, as of this writing) in Gawker Media, LLC v. Bollea. Mr. Bollea, the plaintiff, is much better known as the wrestler “Hulk Hogan”. Defendant Gawker Media, LLC (“Gawker”) operates, among other ventures, an online magazine called Gawker. (Full disclosure: Some of my own writing was published on the Gawker site years ago.) In writing about this case, I will focus on its First Amendment aspects, and not on its somewhat less interesting collateral estoppel and injunctions aspects. -

Long-distance relationships can get hard, but thankfully we have phones, text messages and -- most of all -- video chats.

A survey of Skype users in America and the UK found that 96 percent of respondents in long-distance relationships say the Microsoft's video chatting program makes for a closer connection with their far-away partners.

Nearly 30 percent of respondents also admitted having engaged in "naughty" calls over Skype.

2013: The Year in Review for Child Sex Abuse Victims’ Access to Justice -

January 9, 2014

MARCI A. HAMILTON

Child sex abuse victims, their families and friends, and, frankly, everyone except perpetrators and those who enable them, should be pleased about the progress toward victims’ access to justice in 2013. This past year, the pace of the movement quickened remarkably. Sadly, though, religious groups have gone back to the drawing board to find new ways to protect themselves from the law, so there is also a cloud on the horizon for victims as well.

We need civil-rights advocates, children’s advocates, and survivors and their communities to work hard to make 2014 even better than 2013, and if we all work together, the prospects of our doing so are good.
