Chaos Computer Club, based in Berlin, took a high-resolution photograph of a fingerprint from the side of a glass. They then scanned it, before laser printing it onto a transparent sheet and covering it in woodglue. Once the glue had dried, they peeled off the print copy and pressed it on the scanner. |

The Chancellor deserves her victory. Without any fuss, she got on with making her country more competitive and wealthier. Employment laws were freed up, spending held down, welfare reformed. In a calm, businesslike manner, Mrs Merkel achieved many of the reforms which Margaret Thatcher forced through with thunder and tumult. The eurozone as a whole is in recession, but Germany, having increased its productivity, continues to grow. German voters understood that this didn't simply happen on its own, and cast their ballots accordingly. |

Do I take it that what I should do is to name a volume on the iTunes server in the DNS 325 - basically, this will just tell it where to store the media files on the NAS?
Next, do I then copy all of the media files into that location on the NAS?
Finally, do I then go into iTunes Advanced settings and change the iTunes Media Location to the volume on the NAS?
Apple is showing some love for owners of older iOS devices, as new compatibility features in the App Store will now offer a previous version of an app if the current one isn’t compatible with the firmware on your device.
If an Android device (phone or tablet) has ever logged on to a particular Wi-Fi network, then Google probably knows the Wi-Fi password. Considering how many Android devices there are, it is likely that Google can access most Wi-Fi passwords worldwide. ... The bad news is that, like any American company, Google can be compelled by agencies of the U.S. government to silently spill the beans. When it comes to Wi-Fi, the NSA, CIA and FBI may not need hackers and cryptographers. They may not need to exploit WPS or UPnP. If Android devices are offering up your secrets, WPA2 encryption and a long random password offer no protection. |
Eli Lilly files $500M NAFTA suit against Canada over drug patents
Eli Lilly is accusing Canada of violating its obligations to foreign investors under the North American Free Trade Agreement by allowing its courts to invalidate patents for two of its drugs.
The company officially filed a complaint this week with NAFTA seeking $500 million US in compensation.

The NAFTA claim alleges that several Canadian court rulings invalidating the patents for Eli Lilly's drugs Straterra and Zyprexa were illegal under international law because they violated Canada's obligations under Chapter 11 of NAFTA, the international trade treaty that covers the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
Chapter 11 protects the investments of companies and investors from NAFTA countries that operate in other NAFTA states. Eli Lilly alleges Canada violated the provisions of Chapter 11 that guarantee fair and equal treatment to foreign investors and protect them from expropriation of their investments.

The company argues that by not rectifying the "judge-made law" on utility that expropriated Eli Lilly's exclusive rights as the patent holder, the government was guilty of expropriating Eli Lilly's investments, the company said, which is prohibited under Chapter 11 and entitles the company to compensation "equivalent to the fair market value of the expropriated investment."
* * *
The Council of Canadians, the Washington, D.C.-based government watchdog organization Public Citizen and the global consumer rights group Sum of Us have all spoken out against Eli Lilly's complaint, and Sum of Us created an online petition calling on Eli Lilly to drop the suit.
Eli Lilly's NAFTA complaint is unprecedented and should worry the citizens of Canada and other NAFTA countries because the drug maker is not only challenging the invalidation of its particular patents but is challenging "Canada's entire legal doctrine for determining an invention's 'utility' and, thus, a patent’s validity," Public Citizen wrote in a brief on the case.
"While pushing for an entirely different patent standard, Eli Lilly, the fifth-largest U.S. pharmaceutical corporation, is demanding [$500 million] from Canadian taxpayers as compensation for Canada’s enforcement of its existing patent standards."
* * *
In an interview with the American online news magazine Politico, Toronto attorney Lawrence Herman, a former trade official with Canada's foreign service, agreed that Eli Lilly is less interested in compensation than in changing Canada's patent law so that judges no longer have the leeway to make the kind of rulings they did in its case.
