<description><![CDATA[An Arizona company has sued Apple over its use of the iCloud name, claiming the tech giant's use of it infringes on its trademark.iCloud Communications, a Phoenix-based voice over IP provider, alleges that the name of Apple's recently announced online storage service copies its name and causes confusion over competing products:The goods and services with which Apple intends to use the &quot;iCloud&quot; mark are identical to or closely related to the goods and services that have been offered by iCloud Communications under the iCloud Marks since its formation in 2005. However, due to the worldwide media coverage given to and generated by Apple's announcement of its &quot;iCloud&quot; services and the ensuing saturation advertising campaign pursued by Apple, the media and the general public have quickly come to associate the mark &quot;iCloud&quot; with Apple, rather than iCloud Communications. iCloud Communications claims &quot;Apple has a long and well-known history of knowingly and willfully treading on the trademark rights of others,&quot; noting that the Cupertino, Calif., company has been sued by The Beatles over use of the Apple name, by Cisco Systems over use of theiPhone name, and by Terrytown over use of &quot;Might Mouse.&quot;The lawsuit, which was filed Thursday in U.S. District Court of Arizona, seeks an injunction against Apple's use of the iCloud name, as well as an unspecified amount of monetary compensation.Apple representatives did not immediately respond to a request for comment.In late May, Apple filed for the trademark rights to the iCloud name with the Trade Marks and Designs Registration Office of the European Union, listing various classifications, including one for &quot;electronic storage of data, text, images, audio, and video' storage services for archiving electronic data' information and consultation in connection therewith.&quot; Apple reportedly spent $4.5 million to acquire the iCloud.com domain from Sweden-based Xcerion before last week's unveiling of the service, which is designed to make it simple to wirelessly share music, e-mail, photos, calendars, and other data between handheld gadgets and desktop computers.iCloud Complaint(function() { var scribd = document.createElement(&quot;script&quot;)' scribd.type = &quot;text/javascript&quot;' scribd.async = true' scribd.src = &quot;http://www.scribd.com/javascripts/embed_code/inject.js&quot;' var s = document.getElementsByTagName(&quot;script&quot;)[0]' s.parentNode.insertBefore(scribd, s)' })()'<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Three members of the Netflix board of directors are up for re-election, including founder and CEO Reed Hastings, at the annual shareholders meeting scheduled for June 3, the company said Wednesday. The Web's top video-rental site said the meeting will be held at the company's headquarters in Los Gatos, Calif. One of the other items on the agenda is a nonbinding vote on executive compensation, which is now a requirement under the the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010. This is the so-called say-on-pay requirement. Stockholders are to be given a chance to cast an advisory vote on the compensation of executive officers. Netflix's board &quot;unanimously recommended&quot; in the company's filing Wednesday with the Securities and Exchange Commission that shareholders approve the executive compensation laid out by the board. Other items listed on the agenda:  &amp;149'&amp;nbsp'To ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2011  &amp;149'&amp;nbsp'To approve our 2011 Stock Plan  &amp;149'&amp;nbsp'To receive a nonbinding advisory vote on the frequency of votes on executive officer compensation  &amp;149'&amp;nbsp'To consider a stockholder proposal regarding majority voting, if properly presented at the meetingHastings, who is also Netflix's board chairman, is a shoe-in to be re-elected. In the past year, under Hastings' stewardship, the company's stock has soared, the number of subscribers has risen by more than 60 percent, and the streaming service is popular with consumers as well as investors. In addition to Hastings, current board members Jay C. Hoag and George &quot;Skip&quot; Battle, are up for re-election. Hoag, a Netflix director since 1999, is the founding partner at venture capital firm Technology Crossover Ventures. Battle, a director since 2005, is the former CEO of Ask Jeeves.

<description><![CDATA[The State of the Union address this evening underscored the limitations of watching live video from the front pages of major U.S. publications on Apple's iOS devices and why Flash video is the default video streaming technology. This is the message I got on more than a few major media Web sites when trying to watch a live video stream of the State of the Union on my iPad. In my case, I was trying to watch President Obama's speech on myiPad and found that almost every major U.S. national newspaper could not provide a live feed from their front door, generating messages like &quot;this content is only available in Flash&quot; or &quot;This feature is optimized for Adobe Flash Player version 9 or higher.&quot; Yes, this is a known issue for Flash-less iOS devices. And, of course, there are plenty of ways to watch a live feed of an event like the State of the Union on an iPad oriPhone. But the fact that the intuitive act of going to a publication's front page and watching a live stream--like you would do on a laptop, for instance--was impossible in some cases on the iPad, did not exactly inspire confidence in the state of the iOS video platform. I cross-checked this on my MacBook. I was able to watch the address pretty much instantly on all of those same sites--and on virtually any site where the live feed was made available. So, is HTML5, as promoted by Apple, the next default technology for watching live video streams Not yet. And now that we're on the subject there are some pretty important Web sites--for me, at least--where I cannot access video streams on my iOS device, including this major birding site.Motorola's Flash-capable Xoomtablet is due next month. That tablet's dexterity at handling live Flash video streams will be test case No. 1 for me.  <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen has refiled a lawsuit against several major technology companies over claims of patent infringement.Microsoft co-founder Paul AllenIn his revised complaint filed yesterday, Allen alleges that 11 tech companies and retailers--Apple, Google, Facebook, Yahoo, AOL, YouTube, eBay, Netflix, OfficeMax, Office Depot, and Staples--are violating patents granted to him when he headed Interval Research, a small R&amp;D firm that he started in 1992 and ran until it went out of business in 2000.Allen initially filed the suit in August in U.S. District Court in Seattle. At the time, Allen's Interval Licensing company--which holds the patents of Interval Research--said in a press release that the &quot;patents in the lawsuit cover fundamental web technologies first developed at Interval Research in the 1990s, which the company believes are being infringed by major e-commerce and web search companies.&quot;The lawsuit was dismissed by U.S. District Judge Marsha Pechman on December 13 on grounds that the charges were too vague. In her ruling, Pechman gave Allen until December 28 to revise the suit with the necessary specifics. Allen's legal team labeled the judge's ruling a &quot;procedural issue&quot; and said it would meet the deadline, which it did just in time.The revised complaint details specific products, services, and technologies offered or used by the defendants, according to a Wall Street Journal article.As one example, the suit claims that Apple uses a function developed at and patented by Interval Research that compares content items to determine whether they are related. This function is used in a variety of Apple products, including iTunes, Apple's App Store, and Apple TV, the Journal said. The claim against Google cites a violation of the same patented technology, which the search giant uses in Google Search, Gmail, Google Maps, and other features. The four patents that Allen alleges have been violated are: &amp;149' No. 6,263,507, &quot;Browser for use in navigating a body of information, with particular application to browsing information represented by audiovisual data.&quot;&amp;149'      Lance Whitney     Full Profile E-mail Lance Whitney   E-mail Lance Whitney If you have a question or comment for Lance Whitney, you can submit it here.

<description><![CDATA[A leaked image of what appears to be Motorola&amp;39's planned Android Honeycomb tablet, branded with the Verizon logo.(Credit:wnrussell)During last week's All Things D conference, Google's Andy Rubin gave the world a sneak peek at an upcoming Motorola tablet running the long-awaited tablet-optimized version of the Android OS, codenamed Honeycomb. This week, with far less fanfare, images of the 10-inch Motorola tablet popped up on a mobile forum offering a telling new detail -- a Verizon logo.Motorola Android Honeycomb tablet, Verizon (photos) The images don't offer many other notable details, but the tipster does spell out the specs, including 32GB of internal storage, NVIDIA Tegra 2 T20 dual-core processor, gyroscope sensor, a display resolution of 1280 x 800, front and rear cameras (2MP/5MP), 1GHz system processor, microSD support, 512MB of RAM, and wireless connections for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3G, and LTE.Sounds like a pretty sweet rig, though pricing and availability are still unknown (perhaps CES 2011 will fix this). If Verizon's handling of the Samsung Galaxy Tab is any indication, expect contracts. <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Today at the Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco, LinkedIn CEO Jeff Weiner took the stage to talk with host John Battelle. One question was about why we need LinkedIn in a world increasingly run by Facebook Weiner had a two-word answer to that: keg stands.Weiner noted that while Facebook is great for showing how we spend our time and expressing ourselves, most employers probably shouldn&amp;'t see all of your extracurricular activities. And you clearly wouldn&amp;'t want them to see that. Like keg stands.But when Battelle asked if that meant LinkedIn was opposed to some sort of social hook-up with Facebook, Weiner said it would depend on the value. Currently, LinkedIn has a feature that ties it in closely to Twitter, but not for Facebook.Weiner said that while LinkedIn is lumped into being a social network with Facebook, Twitter, and others, there are big differences between them. And plenty of room for all of them.Weiner also had plenty of interesting stats to share.[photo: flickr/mcclouds]CrunchBase InformationLinkedInFacebookInformation provided by CrunchBase<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[IBM said today that it has made new breakthroughs in an industry-wide race to create laser-based chips that can send data at high speeds through computers.Big Blue told the Wall Street Journal that it has made advances in optical communications components using silicon, which is the main material used in conventional electrical chips. The IBM chips, still in an experimental stage, use lasers to send data in the form of pulses of light through the silicon chips.If IBM can commercialize the technology in the years ahead, it could make chips that can send data at a rate of a trillion bits per second. That is 25 times the capacity of similar optical components used in the fastest computers today.Lasers are used to send pulses of light through stretched glass known as fiber optic cables for long-distance communications today. But the bottleneck has always been in the hand-off, when the data reaches the end of the fiber optic network and merges with an electrical network within a computer.Silicon photonics, as the field is called, has been under research for years as the potential answer. Besides IBM, Intel and Luxtera have been working on silicon components to get past the bottleneck, by using chips that essentially replicate the optical functions on a much tinier scale inside a chip.Carlsbad, Calif.-based Luxtera, a nine-year-old startup, was the first  to commercialize silicon photonics and it disputes the value of IBM&amp;'s  breakthrough, saying Luxtera&amp;'s current chips are already more capable  than the technology described by IBM. Luxtera currently makes 40-gigabit  per second chips that can connect two computers starting at a $150 to  $200. Over time, that cost will drop.Yurii Vlasov, manager of IBM&amp;'s silicon integrated nanophotonics effort, told the WSJ that his group&amp;'s first commercial products could hit the market in three to five years.Next Story: FindTheBest hints at social plans with Kleiner Perkins funding Previous Story: Virtual goods and prepaid game card sales show steep rise on Black Friday (exclusive)PrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: silicon photonicsCompanies: IBM, Intel, LuxteraPeople: Yurii Vlasov          Tags: silicon photonicsCompanies: IBM, Intel, LuxteraPeople: Yurii VlasovDean is lead writer for GamesBeat at VentureBeat.
