Today 1 week after I upgraded my Apple 17" macbook pro 2008 I noticed my battery was running hooter than normal and then I noticed the laptop not sitting properly on my desk. Popped the battery out and say that it was bulging. Looked on the apple store for an A1189 replacement battery and I found all many other folks with the same issue.What the heck is apple doing with these battery issues?

of course that is happening. Even worse is that the people examining the patents are not best and under qualified to review software patents.

Re:When Patents Attack on Wednesday July 27, 2011 @01:36AM (#2810900)

The solution is very simple. Create a simple how to patent template website, then have every developer apply for patents on any business and software process that they can dream of. Within two years you'll choke the entire system into change. Make it impossible for anyone to do anything.

1st idea, the collection, aggregation, and transmittal of electronic messaging data during a waste evacuation process. (i.e. checking your email while on the toilet)

phaxio.com 7cents a page. Full api.

Faxing is pretty expensive and we kept our in-house service as we receive well over 1000 pages per day. We're running Hylafax+ with iaxmodems (separate server) connected to our Asterisk based PBX. Soon the fax server and pbx will be running as virtual machines.

We've never been able to find a fax service that is reasonable for our volume.

Just tell them to remove you from their database or mention legal action. Always worked for me.
