NZXT Classic Series H2 Silent PC Case
The fellas at Legit Reviews have posted a review of the NZXT Classic Series H2 silent PC case today. Overall it seems that they really liked the case, here's a quote from the review: Overall I'm happy with the H2. I think it would make for nice workstation PC, or even a quiet file sever off in the corner. There is enough room in the case that even an enthusiast looking for a classy looking home for their system would be happy as well. There isn't much room internally for water cooling, but there are tubing pass through holes that will allow for an externally mounted solution. Comments

Rogue Game Server Admins Tell All
Remember that article awhile back about a rogue admin running a game server on his employer's hardware? Well, NetworkWorld has posted a follow-up story featuring real life stories from various "rogue" admins around the country. Interesting reading, especially if you employ one of these people. Mr. West: In the past we've had Team Fortress 2, Killing Floor, Counter Strike, Minecraft, and a few others. We've actually run the servers off of a few different boxes. As the company grew/changed we'd need to switch things over to a different box so as not to overload a production box with non-production processes. Obviously it's in our best interest to not cause downtime or other issues so as to not draw attention. Comments

Apple Sues Amazon.com Over App Store Trademark
According to Reuters, Apple has filed a lawsuit against Amazon over use of the term App Store. Has that trademark even been granted to Apple yet? I thought the whole process was hung up by Microsoft challenging them in court claiming it was a generic term? The lawsuit, filed in a California federal court late last week, said Amazon has improperly used Apple's APP STORE mark to solicit software developers throughout the United States. Apple has applied to register the APP STORE trademark in the United States, a bid which Microsoft opposes. The matter is currently before a trademark trial and appeals board, according to the lawsuit. Comments

Making Wireless Networks Video Smart
Demand for video on mobile devices is skyrocketing as more smartphones, tablets, netbooks and laptops connect to the Internet through 3G and 4G wireless networks. The amount of bits and bytes flying through wireless networks today is expected to increase 65 times by 2014, with most of this increase pegged to digital video viewing, according to Cisco Systems. Researchers and millions of dollars in resources from Intel, Verizon and Cisco are focused on tackling this oncoming mobile video traffic jam by teaming up with leading universities around the world, including Cornell University, Moscow State University and the University of Southern California. Recently, faculty at University of Texas's Cockrell School of Engineering and University of California San Diego shared their vision and approach to creating Video Aware Wireless Networks (VAWN).

Microsoft Says Android E-Reader Violates Patents
More patent lawsuits! This time it is Microsoft doing the suing and it is Foxconn and Barnes & Noble on the receiving end. Hey, doesn't Foxconn make stuff for Microsoft too? That must be awkward. Microsoft on Monday accused Taiwan electronics colossus Foxconn and US book seller Barnes & Noble of using its patented technology in e-readers running on Google-backed Android software. Taiwan-based Inventec Corporation was also targeted in Microsoft's legal filings with the US International Trade Commission and a federal court in Washington state where the software giant has its headquarters.

Apple, Nokia, Others Targeted in Camera Patent Suit
It looks like Apple is being sued again for patent infringement. Does anyone happen to know how many times the company has been sued for patent infringement? By the way, other companies were named in the suit as well, not just Apple. This is just the latest in a long list of patent suits against Apple, though the second in the last year or so to center on imaging. One filed against Apple in January 2010 by Kodak took aim at image previewing, and the capability to process images at different resolutions. Apple ended up counter-suing the company just three months later. Comments
