You're responsible for protecting your nation from a nuclear-missile strike. The alarm bells go off and your monitor says you're under attack. You should counterattack, and quickly. But, well, you have this feeling that something isn't right. What do you do?

Submission + - The end of Vonage?

Submitted by andy1307 on Tuesday September 25, 2007 @06:25PM

andy1307 writes: According to this article in the Washington Post, Internet telephone company Vonage Holdings Corp. was ordered in federal court Tuesday to pay Sprint Nextel $69.5 million in damages for infringing on six telecommunications patents owned by competitor Sprint Nextel Corp. In addition to the $69.5 million damages, jurors awarded Sprint Nextel a 5 percent royalty from Vonage on future revenues. It was the second verdict against the Holmden, N.J.-based company this year. A jury in Virginia determined in March that Vonage had violated three Verizon patents in building its Internet phone system. The jury awarded Verizon $58 million in damages plus 5.5 percent royalties on future revenues. Greg Gorbatenko, a telecommunications and media analyst for Jackson Securities, said the decision "feels like a death knell" for Vonage because future revenue will likely dry up, preventing the company from investing in better technology or improving customer service.

Comment I still love my Jarts! (Score 1) 404

When my father-in-law passed away a few years ago, as we cleaned up the garage, we found an original boxed set of Jarts. They were a little scuffed up, but all the pieces were there. I thought about selling them on Ebay, but what the heck, they might still be fun!

So, I took them to a NASCAR race at Richmond, where you tailgate all day long waiting for the night race. Guess what? Drunken red-necks love dangerous toys - they were the hit of the horseshoe set! A wild horseshoe gives you a bruise. A wild Jart gives you a story for the boys back home.
