It's a well-established fact that women have much weaker upper bodies. Hollywood has done a great job of propogating the myth of the ass kicking woman who can take on a bunch of athletic men in combat, but the reality is that even if most athletic women went up against a normal, decently in shape man, they would get badly hurt in one-on-one fighting.

  KODAK EASYSHARE 5300 All-In-One. Changing The Rule 2007-04-22 20:01 mrneutron2004

Submitted by mrneutron2004 on Sunday April 22 2007, @08:01PM
mrneutron2004 writes "Kodak's recent launch of their Easyshare series of printers is slated to change this paradigm significantly. All of the Easyshare series of printers, the 5100, 5300, and 5500 (the top model, the 5500 will be released in June) use the same black and color-photo ink cartridges. Through Kodak's development of a new type of MEMS print head which is separate from the cartridges (unlike most of it's competitors), they have been able to aggressively price their cartridges at $9.99 and $14.99 respectively. To say this is significantly cheaper than the competition is an understatement. Not only that, they are offering aggressive bundling deals on photo cartridges with photo paper. Does a color cartridge and 135 sheets of their premium 4x6 color photo paper for $19.99 sound good? How about 180 sheets of their standard 4x6 color photo paper along with a color cartridge for $17.99? Sure sounds good to us. Doing the math this works out to an overall cost of 10-15 cents a print! http://www.fastsilicon.com/printer-reviews/kodak-e asyshare-5300-all-in-one.-changing-the-rules.html? Itemid=27"

MattPat writes "According to a recent press release by Apple, Apple and Cisco have reached an agreement concerning the iPhone trademark.

Under the agreement, both companies are free to use the "iPhone" trademark on their products throughout the world. Both companies acknowledge the trademark ownership rights that have been granted, and each side will dismiss any pending actions regarding the trademark. In addition, Cisco and Apple will explore opportunities for interoperability in the areas of security, and consumer and enterprise communications. Other terms of the agreement are confidential.

  Cisco and Apple settle iPhone lawsuit 2007-02-21 23:28 andy1307

Submitted by andy1307 on Wednesday February 21 2007, @11:28PM
andy1307 writes "According to this article in the New York Times, Cisco and Apple have settled the trademark-infringement lawsuit over the use of the iPhone. The companies said they had reached an agreement that would allow Apple to use the name for the multimedia device in exchange for exploring wide-ranging "interoperability" between the companies' products in the areas of security, consumer and business communications. Before this settlement was reached, the sticking point apparently was Cisco's demand that in return for permission to use the iPhone name, Apple would have to open up its products to communicate with some of Cisco's offerings."
