ipad accessories and electric cigarettes
Microsoft is fighting Apple's efforts to trademark the term iPad cases "App Store," claiming that it is too generic and so should be available to competitors. Apple applied for the trademark in 2008, wanting to protect the phrase when used to describe any "retail store services featuring computer software provided via the internet and other computer and electronic communication networks."
In its filing, reproduced by the TechFlash Podcast, Microsoft asks the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board to issue a summary judgement denying Apple's trademark application. The company argues that "app" is a generic term for an application, and "store" a generic term for a retail store. Microsoft also points out that wireless ip camera Apple CEO Steve Jobs himself has used the term "app store" in a generic sense: he is quoted as saying "Amazon, Verizon, and Vodafone have all announced that they are creating their own app stores for Android."
The company also says that "app store" is widely used in a generic sense by both media and consumers alike. As trademarks cannot be used to protect generic terms, Microsoft believes that this widespread generic usage should be grounds for rejecting the trademark application. If it is rejected, any company will be able to use the term "app store" to describe its stores and electric cigarette services.
Though Microsoft does not call its own "app store" an "app store"—it's named Marketplace—a successful appeal against the trademark will enable the company to describe Marketplace as an app store, rather than the current more cumbersome "virtual store for apps." Marketplace is continuing to show strong growth, today hitting 6,000 apps, taking it past the number of programs in the webOS store.
We've been looking for an inexpensive ipad accessories load cell for awhile and finally found these. These are the same type you can find inside a typical bathroom scale. They can measure up to about 110 pounds (or 50 kg for everyone on the other side of the ocean). You will need an amplifier to read the output, but check out this video for a little tutorial on how to do so.
We are not always what you would consider fashionable. But with our continued support of the E-Textile product category, we decided to be more concerned about aesthetics. Our new LilyPad FTDI matches beautifully to the whole LilyPad line so you won't create a fashion faux paus when uploading code to your LilyPad Arduino.
Our new 2.2"flex sensor can be useful when our normal 4.5"flex sensor is too long for your needs. It's the same sensor, just in a smaller package. Unfortunately we ran out LED Digital Watch of stock quicker than expected, but we have a new shipment on the way.
