My school has a similar policy. If you try and connect to their network while running Windows/OS X, they make you download and install Safe Connect, which makes sure your OS is updated, that you have some form of anti-virus, and it also checks to make sure you don't have any P2P file-sharing software. In Linux, however, it just lets you connect.

I'm assuming that you didn't actually look at the thing, or you might not be so worried about losing the "cool factor"...

Firm Seeks To Ban Mobile Companies' Imports To US 137

Posted by Soulskill on Friday January 16, 2009 @09:01PM from the even-silly-patent-claims-are-bigger-in-texas dept.

snydeq writes "Texas-based Saxon Innovations has filed a complaint with the US International Trade Commission to bar six companies — including Research in Motion, Palm, and Nokia — from importing handheld devices into the US. At issue are three patents that Saxon purchased in July 2007; a patent for keypad monitor with keypad activity-based activation; a patent for an apparatus and method for disabling interrupt marks in processors or the like; and a patent for a device and method for interprocessor communication by using mailboxes owned by processor devices. Saxon, with five employees, purchased about 180 US patents formerly owned by Advanced Micro Devices or Legerity in 2007, according to its ITC complaint."
