In his August 6 order, Judge Webber confirmed the jury verdict that DuPont/Pioneer willfully infringe Monsanto's GMO roundup-ready seed patent.

The asserted patent was Monsanto's reissue No. RE 39,247 and the accused product was DuPont's Optimum GAT soybean line that has never been released to the public.

Unlicensed use of the Monsanto genetically modified soybean seed counts as infringement, even if that use was only for the development of a commercial product.

Dotcom said if authorities had knocked on his door instead of banging it down he would have happily co-operated, despite a sign in his gatehouse saying "do not let the police in".

"And then they were all over me. I had a punch to the face, boots kicking me down to the floor... a knee to the ribs... one man was standing on my hand."

The Crown is seeking for all images and CCTV footage from the raids to be suppressed.

Those looking for a U.S. connection to the raid won’t be disappointed – a source in the country’s Interior Ministry says that the action was scheduled to coincide with Deputy Prime Minister Valery Khoroshkovsky’s trip to the United States.

But while Demonoid’s servers are in custody, the site’s admin does not appear to be. The ColoCall source would not say who is behind the site, only that its management is located in Mexico. The devil may yet be back….

A girl in New Mexico with the same name tried to sign in to her Facebook account on Wednesday and was denied with the following message: "Disabled - Inauthentic Account." She believes Facebook thinks she is breaking the rule "Impersonating anyone or anything is not allowed."

It's not clear how long Gomez was using her account before she was denied access. This is not the first time Facebook has run into such problems.

I believe blaming the rapid release process in general would make the search for the cause of Firefox’ problems a bit too easy, even if there is little denying that Mozilla has developed a talent for shooting itself in the foot and the rapid release process can look like a trainwreck from certain angles.

It often seems that Mozilla is trying to too hard to be everything to everyone, and has lost its identity in the process. Remembering its roots will always be important and when Mozilla does, it builds fantastic browsers.

Remember Knight Capital Group’s algorithm-driven stock trading glitch from yesterday?

Turned out that 45 minute mistake, the company said in a statement, "has resulted in a realized pre-tax loss of approximately $440 million."

Knight Capital Group said that the loss has "severely impacted" the company’s capital base. That’s finance-speak for "We're in big trouble."

The machine was hugely successful for its time, helping to encourage personal computing, popularise video games and pioneer homemade computer-created music.

The Commodore's ability to display 16 colours, smoothly scroll graphics and play back music through its superior SID (sound interface device) chip - even while loading programs off tape - helped win over fans, but it did not become the market leader until the late 1980s.

Security staff there scanned him but failed to realise he was on his own and had no boarding card.

Now a full-scale investigation has been mounted by Manchester Airport and Jet2.com into how the boy managed to evade so many security checks and still end up in Italy. It is understood five members of staff working for Jet2.com have been suspended from duty while the investigation takes place.

It was made clear that the New Zealand government and the US FBI broke the law in sending data from Megaupload's hard drives overseas, and ordered them returned. Megaupload's lawyer, Ira Rothken is out reminding the world that the US has failed to comply with the order to return the data that was illegally taken, and has shown no signs of planning to comply.

Ubisoft hasn't exactly garnered much goodwill among PC gamers thanks to the controversial DRM efforts it has attached to its PC releases over the years.

The exploit, publicized this morning by programmer Tavis Ormandy, utilizes a bug in a browser plug-in installed alongside the UPlay software that's needed to run many of the publisher's recent PC games. With the plugin installed, opening a link to a page with a specific bit of Javascript code allows that page to open up the UPlay software and load seemingly any code it wants onto your PC.
