... : a DVD jukebox-either a set-top device or a portable one-would be a godsend to parents with small children. Children not only like to watch the same video repeatedly, but they're
also far more likely to damage a DVD. Having a sealed, rugged hard drive on which to store a few dozen of junior's favorite movies seems like it would be extremely convenient. Of
course, I don't really know. Maybe parents already have devices that fill this need. Maybe the devices would be too expensive or too fragile. ...

... people express about our release of RECAP is illustrated by this comment here at Freedom to Tinker: Technically impressive, but also shortsighted. There appears a socialistic
cultural trend that seeks to disconnect individual accountability to ones choices. $.08 a page is hardly burdensome or profitable, and clearly goes to offset costs. If additional
taxes are required to make up the shortfall RECAP seems likely to create, we all will pay more in general taxes even though only a small few ever ...

... Yahoo has made available, it seems that the new policy is a real, if small, improvement in users' privacy. However, it's hard to draw any definite conclusions without more
specific information about what information Yahoo! is saving. Because anonymizing data is a lot harder than people think. AOL learned this the hard way in 2006 when "anonymized"
search results were released to researchers. People quickly noticed that you could figure out who various ...

... are all technologies that work with vanilla TCP/IP, using browser technologies that were widely deployed in 1999. Technological changes made cyberspace more susceptible to
regulation without any changes to the Internet's architecture. Indeed, it's hard to think of any policy or architectural change that could have forestalled the rise of these
technologies. The web would be extremely inconvenient if we didn't have something like cookies. The engineering constraints on backbone routers make ...

... 's still true today. One of the most important features was the ability to rip DVDs and store them on your hard drive for later playback. Unfortunately, the DMCA makes it
essentially impossible for mainstream technology companies to duplicate this functionality. XMBC, or ... and the XBMC would be growing rapidly in popularity. Many of us would have
set-top boxes with 500 GB hard drives capable of ripping dozens of DVDs to an open, standard format for subsequent streaming to any display in the user's ...

... mathematics. The high court struggled with what to do in cases where software is one part of an otherwise-patentable machine. But it's hard to avoid the conclusion that many
of the "pure" software patents that have generated so much controversy in recent years cannot be reconciled with the Supreme Court's precedents. For example, it's hard to read
those precedents in a way that would allow Amazon's famous "one-click" patent. I also argue that this ...

... that by making taxis cheaper, self-driving cars would shift a lot of people from owning cars to renting them. And that, in turn, would dramatically reduce demand for parking lots,
which will allow more pleasant, high-density cities. It's hard to overstate the extent to which the need for parking exacerbates sprawl and congestion problems. Parking lots
consume vast amounts of land in suburban areas. This, in turn, means that stuff is farther apart, which forces people to rely even more on their ...

... machine in order to be eligible for patentability. We know, for example, that a software algorithm (which is ultimately just a string of 1s and 0s) cannot be patented. But what if I
take that string of 1s and 0s and write it onto a hard drive, which certainly is a machine. Does this idea-machine hybrid become a patentable invention? As Ben points out, we
don't know because the Federal Circuit explicitly deferred this question to future cases. Still, there are a lot of hopeful signs here for ...

... to route Google's packets in preference to those from other sources, that would be a violation of network neutrality. The Journal article had relatively few details about the deal
Google is supposedly negotiating with residential ISPs, so it's hard to say for sure which category it's in. But what little description the Journal does give us-that the
agreement would "place Google servers directly within the network of the service providers"-suggests that the agreement would not violate network ...
