Apple, Google, HP, IBM and others are accused of stealing patent

The legal departments of leading high tech companies now have a new opponent in the face of a world unknown company. The InNova filed suit in the courts of Texas, accusing virtually the entire market for stealling patent on the filtering of spam emails, which secured 15 years ago by the founder.



Robert Uomini claims that at the time a patent Nos 6018761 is in existince to manage spam. The description of the patent states that this method separates the spam email from them wanted to be read by the current user. Uomini now argues that most companies have illegally copied its patent. Among other things, the lawsuit brought against Apple, Google, 3Com, HP, IBM, Yahoo, Research In Motion (RIM), Dell, Symantec, McAfee, Alcatel-Lucent and Ericsson.



Obviously, InNova has put a bold target cash compensation. Certainly, it is easy to mess with the whole world, so if justified, InNova will be talking about a real victory of David against Goliath.

IBM announced the fastest processor in the world

The quad-core desktop PC with an operating frequency above 3.0GHz considered for some time high-performance products, but the processor has just announced that IBM is giving new meaning to the word "speed." The innovative company has the technical specifications of the z196, with new quad-core processor (default) frequency of operation is set at unrealistic levels of 5.2GHz.



Thus, the z196 is automatically designated as the fastest processor in the world, taking the crown from the IBM Power6 4.7GHz. The z196 has no more, no less, 1.4 billion transistors, or about 300 million more than the exapyrinous processors from Intel. All this in an area of 512 square millimeters, made using the technology of 45 nanometers.



Each core has 1.5MB L2 cache and the shared L3 eDRAM cache has a capacity of 24MB. It is not, so the possibilities of the new processor that IBM has decided to add and L4 cache, which connects different processors in a multi-chip module (MCM). We are talking about a common L4 cache capacity 192MB, through liaison with speed 40GB per second.



Of course, this processor is not addressed in the mainstream market and will contribute the exclusive mainframes to IBM. The price has not been announced yet, but I will move the region of hundreds of thousands of euros less per item.
