Apple to Lodsys: Now, Youse Can’t Leave

Apple to Lodsys: Now, Youse Can’t Leave
JUNE 10, 2011 AT 1:00 PM PT



Lodsys has really stepped in it now.
Apple has filed a motion to intervene in the patent infringement lawsuits that the patent holding company has brought against seven iOS developers, a move that could add significant legal heft to their defense.
Filed in the Eastern District of Texas, the motion explains that developers who’ve been targeted by Lodsys “are individuals or small entities with far fewer resources than Apple and … lack the technical information, ability, and incentive to adequately protect Apple’s rights under its license agreement.”
So Apple would like to intervene on their behalf.
“While the Developers will likely be interested in resolving this case as quickly and inexpensively as possible, Apple’s interest is in protecting its broader license rights with respect to thousands of App developers for Apple products who may be the subject of future Lodsys lawsuits or threats.”
In other words, Lodsys, which has been harassing independent developers who lack the means to fend off its litigation, may soon find itself grappling with Apple legal, which is an ugly, ugly proposition indeed.
The situation reminds me of a scene midway through “A Bronx Tale” in which a group of bikers disrespect a local Mafia don’s bar (video below). When asked to leave, they refuse. The don walks over to the door, locks it — trapping the bikers inside, turns to them and says, “Now, youse can’t leave.” A group of heavies emerges from the back of the bar and beats the bikers senseless, while this narration runs in the background.
“I will never forget the look on their faces. All eight of them. Their faces dropped. All their courage and strength was drained right from their bodies. They had a reputation for breaking up bars, but they knew that instant, they’d made a fatal mistake. This time they walked into the wrong bar.”
If the court grants Apple’s motion to intervene, Lodsys may have just done the same.

Five Reasons to Watch ‘Inception’ Again

Five Reasons to Watch ‘Inception’ Again

I must be one of the few people not to have seen the movie ‘Inception’ when it was in theaters. I watched it last night and was very impressed by the story, the acting, the special effects but most of all by the ability of the movie to have me think about it for a long time afterwards. I did a spoiler-free review of Inception in this week’s episode of The Break, and after some thought, came up with (at least) five reasons to rewatch Inception more than once:

1. Inception involves you right from the start by constantly challeging you by the complexity of the story. So many blockbusters are mindnumbingly dumb, with one-dimensional characters and predictable storylines, “because that’s what people want”. This movie never becomes predictable and keeps you wondering about what is really going on until the very last moment.

2. Inception has a lot of subtext. You can watch it as an intelligent action movie like the Matrix, as a philosophical puzzle about the foundation of reality, as a metaphor of the relationship between this world and the afterlife, or even as an analogy of the moviemaking and storytelling process.

3. Inception is a movie that you can enjoy on many different levels. Amazing special effects; a combination of many different styles (from the mind-bending Matrix-like manipulation of the environment to a James Bond style winter action movie in the last part of the movie; good acting and an intriguing plot that is open to many different interpretations. In short, it is a movie you will want to rewatch multiple times.

4. Inception contains no nudity or excessive swearing. I thought the only movies left without these ingredients were Pixar/Disney movies; it’s great to see that Hollywood can make adult movies without insulting our intelligence or our moral standards.

5. Inception is a perfect conversation starter. It is one of those movies that you just HAVE to discuss with friends or relatives that have also watched it. It is rare that a blockbuster movie inspires so much discussion and debate about its plot. This is no Transformers 2! In a way, Inception did what Lost did so well on TV: for every answer it gives you, it generates another question that keeps you thinking.

“Mobile Movie Making - A New Frontier for Creating and Distributing Media” with Michael Koerbel and Anna Elizabeth James, Writer/Director/Producer at Majek Pictures, on Thursday, January 27 at 1:00 p.m. PT

This session will explore a new method of visual storytelling.

After the success of Apple of My Eye––shot and edited entirely on iPhone 4––Michael Koerbel and Anna Elizabeth James set out to make Goldilocks, a mobile film series in the same vein as Bourne Ultimatum. The series was originally intended to go through the Hollywood studio system, but the duo soon realized the iPhone 4 and iPod Touch would give them the opportunity to shoot and distribute it themselves, which they did. In addition to providing attendees with tips and tricks for shooting and editing with the iPhone 4 and iPod Touch, as well as insight into the top film accessories, gadgets and mobile movie making apps, Michael and Anna will discuss their distribution model of releasing Goldilocks through an app.

What Alice And The Hatter Have To Teach Us

What Alice And The Hatter Have To Teach Us
What's Your Reaction:



Move over, "Avatar!" After its first week in theaters, Tim Burton's new version of "Alice in Wonderland," starring Johnny Depp, is drawing record crowds. True, there's chit-chat about the good news/bad news of this rendition, and its 'Burton-esque' darkness. The fact is that this classic Lewis G. Carroll tale is an enduring story, as apt for our times as when it was penned in 1865. What makes this story timeless? While some are convinced Carroll's story was political, the deeper dimension has to do with identity crisis, something even our ancestors faced before each developmental leap

Falling Down the Rabbit Hatch
No matter what rabbit hatch finds us, we still have choice. Simply put: how do you choose to respond? Alice opens wide her senses, follows clues, wrestles with the unexpected. Ultimately, she risks becoming herself. Up 'til then, she's let her circumstances define her. We are not our circumstances, or present life events, despite the fact that the collective believes that we are. Whenever there's an evolutionary leap in human awareness, on either individual or collective level, we are challenged to redefine who we believe, and expand the box. But first, the tumble. You don't have to be a shaman to slip down the hatch. We all fall. In fact, this is the Fall. We fall from Grace, smack into the Dark Night whenever we invalidate our own true nature, pretending we are not inextricably linked to the rest of nature. But, then, it's human, and stories arrive for a do-over just in the knick of time to help us course correct.

"Who Are You?"
Initially, Alice is confronted by the hookah-smoking blue caterpillar: "Who are you?"
The fact is that neither Carroll nor Walt Disney studios have a corner on characters who challenge us to rethink the essential questions every day of our life. Our own 'caterpillars' come in many form. Maybe it's the news covering natural disasters like those in Turkey, Chile, and Haiti -- catalyzing our examination of whether we are 'our brother's keeper?' Or, do we 'check-out' and change the channel? When we read the fact that soldier suicides for January 2010 outnumber all the military deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan, combined for the same time period, what's our reaction? Do we simply shrug it off? Meanwhile, back home, who amongst us doesn't encounter some street person carrying a cardboard sign, while straddling a highly trafficked stop light? Two weeks ago, a man held his cardboard in front of my car that read "Needy." Last week, on 45th N.E. in the University District, a young woman's placard read: "Pregnant. Struggling. Need help." Were Alice to hold a sign, it might look like "Indecisive, self-doubting." The caterpillar's question is a question for our times.

What Sign Are You Holding? If you were holding an invisible sign that described you, what might it say? In the aforementioned, the sad thing is that we too often define ourselves as though we were our conditions. You are far, far more than this. In fact, when we see our identity as our life events, we box ourselves in, diminish, as the Hatter put it our "much-ness." No small wonder that the constant refrain in Burton's storytelling was this: "Who are you because you are not the 'real' Alice!"

A Significant Lesson for our Time.
Well, then, if we are not the sum total of our circumstances, what is the Truth? Who are we? Desiderata put it this way:

"You are a child of the Universe;
No less than the trees and the stars;
You have a right to be here." -- Desiderata

Will the Real Alice Please Stand Up?
If our 'inner Alice' has a right to be here, along with the moon and the stars, who might we be today if we embraced our own "much-ness," if our real-Alice-ness stepped through our confusion and doubt? What bold act might you take? What adventure might be yours? Here's what poet Mary Oliver has to say:

"There is no adventure like loving the world,
Or some portion of it.
Or some spirit encased in some particular body.
This year I turn (I think, I don't keep exact count),
seventy-three.
Every day my feet grow heavier, my spirit grows lighter,
I have been so blessed." Mary Oliver

Four Prescriptive Teachings:

1. Reclaim your 'much-ness.' Maryde, a 37-year-old gifted client's been hesitating to "do what she really wants, to open an orphanage," because she's afraid to give up the security of her C.P.A. practice, which leaves her drained, and confused ala Alice. Confusion comes when we break fundamental agreements with ourselves, to tell the Truth about what really lights our fire, rekindles the flame of our unique 'much-ness.'

2. "Get a bigger pan." Amazing composer/performer by the name of Karen Taylor-Good sings about a man who goes fishing, lands a beauty of a trout, throws it back, and is asked 'why?' Says he, his 'pan's too small.' Her solution? Get a bigger pan! How many times do we toss back into our depths our best ideas, deepest inspirations, greatest joys? We play too small. Do yourself a favor and check out www.karentaylorgood.com

3. Clear away the clutter that obscures who you are. Meaning, decide to shift your story. Otherwise, we stay in permanent rabbit-hatch-mode that defeats the imperative of our nature: growth. What saved Alice is her decision to recognize her confusion, her ailing heart's delight, and she ran in the direction of her fascination: the white rabbit. While our lives are not brought to us by Walt Disney, there is a 'take-away' here. Follow the direction of what holds the greatest life, away from that which is stale.

4. Tame your dragon. Eliminate what does not rejoice you, pass on those e-mails and social network affairs that have nothing to do with keeping you moving in the direction that's vibrant, regenerative, and uplifting for your own Spirit. Retire the need for approval-seeking. Life's an adventure. Live it to the hilt. Says Oliver:

"When it's over, it's over, and we don't know
any of us, what happens then.
So I try not to miss anything.
I think, in my whole life, I have never missed
the full moon
Or the slipper of its coming back.
Or, a kiss,
Well, yes, especially a kiss."
