Intel announces third-generation SSD: 320 Serye – TechSpot

Intel has launched the much-anticipated follow up to its popular X25-M solid-state drive. The new 320 Series is the first of the company’s drives to use 25nm MLC NAND chips, and the smaller process size has also enabled capacities up to 600GB. Performance is up as well: the 320s sequential write bandwidth is rated at 220MB/s, contrasting with the X25-M’s 100MB/sec, while read bandwidth numbers are 270MB/s for the 320 and 250MB/s for the X25-M.

Ang 320 is positioned as a mainstream desktop and notebook SSD, and because it uses the same controller chip as the old X25-M, you’re still limited to 3Gbps SATA connectivity. This means Intel is leaving the high-end sector to the 34nm, 6Gbps SSD 510 series it launched late last month featuring data transfers of up to 500MB/s. Pa rin, the company improved its controller and firmware and significantly bumped random IOPS performance with small files on the 320.

RIM Confirms, BlackBerry PlayBook Will Run Android Apps – NYTimes.com

In talking with one mobile developer recently, we spoke of all the platforms their app was available on, but one was missing – Gilid. BlackBerry, they explained, was simply a pain to develop for.

Ngayon, the company behind the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet and new QNX-based BlackBerry smartphones confirmed that it would support Google Android apps on these devices moving forward.

RIM has been on a decline as of late, giving up market share to Google Android, which just earlier this month passed the popular mobile OS to take the number one spot.

It’s a much-repeated mantra of the mobile space that the apps make the platform and RIM just opened up the floodgates for apps on its devices. As Digital Daily’s John Paczkowski points out, “PlayBook isn’t launching with 100 apps. It’s launching with well over 200,000.

Reining sa pirates Patent: China Update Administrative Pagpapatupad

(Westlaw Negosyo) Patent protection in China is back in the spotlight after the State Intellectual Property Office of the PRC (SIPO) recently reiterated its promise to tackle enforcement against infringers of intellectual property. During the fourth meeting of the 11th National People’s Congress, SIPO’s commissioner placed the importance of building up China’s IP community alongside approving the nation’s mammoth 12th Five Year Plan for national economic development.

Putting promises to paper, the Chinese government has worked continuously over the past few years to strengthen judicial enforcement of IP rights both in civil and administrative proceedings. In addition to updating China’s patent law, the Supreme People’s Court has, sa nakalipas na, also issued instructions aimed at strengthening trial procedures involving IP litigation.

To provide additional clarity on administrative proceedings, SIPO recently amended the Patent Administrative Enforcement Rules. The Rules, which came into effect on Feb. 1, 2011, outlines procedures to be followed by local Intellectual Property Offices in processing and enforcing claims involving patent disputes.

Guarding against patent infringement remains a major part of risk management for many China-focused businesses, especially those that rely heavily on their intellectual property such as biotechnology or pharmaceutical companies. For some U.S.-listed entities operating in China, differences in patent protection laws leave their operations vulnerable. In a recent series of offering documents filed with the SEC, BCD Semiconductor expressed that China’s IP laws may not offer as much protection as other jurisdictions like the United States. Unlike common law jurisdictions, past court decisions in China have “limited” precedential value, which could pose challenges in predicting potential outcomes of IP disputes.

Rosenthal Collins Group, LLC v. Trading Techs. Int’l, Sa. 05 C 4088, 2011 WL 722467 (Nd. IllJan. Pebrero. 23, 2011)

Sa kasong ito, the court ordered default judgment, ordered plaintiff to pay $1,000,000 in monetary sanctions, and ordered counsel to pay “the costs and attorneys fees incurred in litigating this motion” where plaintiff’s agent modified metadata related to relevant source code and wiped several relevant disks and devices prior to their production and where the court found counsel participated in “presenting misleading, false information, materially altered evidence and willful non-compliance with the Court’s orders.”

After plaintiff filed for summary judgment its retained consultant admitted in deposition that he had modified relevant source code prior to its production.  Upon defendant’s motion for sanctions, the court declined to order default judgment but imposed monetary sanctions, struck the consultant’s declaration in support of summary judgment, and struck plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment.

Thereafter further spoliation was revealed.  Specifically, the consultant admitted to “turning back the clock” to change the “last modified” date on the previously modified source code to make it appear that the modifications had occurred much earlier and to wiping 6 ng 7 disks produced for inspection (while the seventh disk was also wiped, it remained unclear who was responsible).  It was also discovered that “various disks, USB drives and computers that RCG finally produced had been ‘wiped’” prior to production and that the hard drive produced in the “test machine” had been manufactured in 2008 (much later than would be expected in light of relevant time frames).Kaya, defendant moved for additional sanctions.

In its defense, “RCG [ginawa] not dispute any of the new allegations of misconduct” but instead sought to distance itself from “its own agent, employed for the purposes of pursuing this litigation” and disavowed any “actual knowledge” of wrongdoing.  RCG’s counsel similarly disavowed “any personal wrongdoing and any actual knowledge of any wrongdoing, while unequivocally distancing themselves and RCG from [ang consultant]."
