Home Basic has an estimated price tag of £179.99, and Home Premium an estimate of £219.99.

Submission + - Bluetooth RF technology stirs up undergrad patents

aisnota writes: "UW sues cellphone giants over undergrad's invention underpinning Bluetooth RF transmission technology. The least discussed portion of the story, "I can't think of another one where the inventor wasn't a Ph.D.", makes one wonder about how many undergrads work is pilfered by the Ph. D.'s whilst this one slipped through because of the analog nature of it. Sure CSR shares of stock are put into jeopardy for the big money people, but the real discussion is for all those unsung undergrads with sweet technology appropriated by others at great financial loss to those that did the artistry for real. Which examples do you know of where it appeared something more typical happened?"
