1-Click Rejection Rejected
<http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/09/28/1216246>
USPTO reexamins the rejection of Amazon's patent... seems that "it
wasn't obvious to them what the Examiner found obvious"
That's pretty bad news upcoming.

divers critères afin de construire une requête qui va interroger la
base pour construire un rapport statistique.
ça intéresse quelqu'un ?

KYSOH ANNOUNCES THE BETA RELEASE OF TUX GADGETS MANAGER**
Transforming Tux Droid in a real smart companion *
*Mons, Belgium, September 19, 2007*– Revealed at OSCON 2006 and
Commercialized in March 2007, Tux Droid quickly became very popular in
Europe. He made the cover of magazines in France, Germany and Italy.
Launched as a wireless programmable robot specifically designed for the
Linux platform, Tux Droid becomes today a smart companion providing a
new way to access the digital world without sitting in front of your
computer. Looking as a cute penguin resembling the Linux mascot, Tux
Droid reacts to PC events and talks in more than 10 different languages.
Based on the widgets principle, Tux Gadgets are mini-applications that
reside on users desktops and delivers a variety of personalized
information such as email, weather forecast, horoscope, media player,
news, games, quizz etc. through Tux Droid. The Gadgets are easily
accessible with the remote control. In order to manage easily the
different gadgets, Kysoh has also developed a graphical interface called
Tux Gadgets Manager. These gadgets are developed in a TGF (Tux Gadget
Format) format, made in the spirit of ODF file and provides a wide range
of actions such as :
*
Let users modify and configure Gadgets without any programming skills.
*
Let users modify easily the graphical interface to customize it as
they want.
*
Let users add new gadgets (available on the community website) by
a simple drag and drop.
*About Tux Droid*
Linux is becoming more than just a free operating system for the masses.
Geeks and open source enthusiasts are quite persistent when it comes to
use Linux on every possible electronic device. PDA’s, I-pod’s even
Sony’s AIBO, no electronic gizmo remains safe for the Linux community.
And naturally the electronics suppliers are rarely very forthcoming with
information on how to get Linux inside their protected products.
And it’s exactly at this point Kysoh makes the difference. Tux Droid is
a smart device talking, squawking, wings flapping, eye flashing penguin
that you can control remotely. Send it events or updates about website
or have it read your RSS streams as they come in with the built-in
text-to-speech synthesizer. WiFi is not a requirement as it comes with
its own wireless solution you can plug in any USB port. The architecture
is completely open; all software, codes, scripts and datasheets are
provided freely on the community website www.tuxisalive.com
<http://www.tuxisalive.com/>.
Tux Droid is also provided with a complete toolkit allowing programmers
to develop their own functionalities:
*
Let Tux Droid dance when you get an e-mail
*
Use its infra-red to program Tux Droid as a guard dog to scare
away intruders
*
Program Tux Droid to function as an alarm clock
*
Take Tux Droid to your bathroom and listen to any broadcast radio
*
With its remote control, simply use Tux Droid as a remote control
for your PC
*
With its full duplex 2.4 GHz wireless link, use Tux Droid as a
wireless VOIP
With an ever growing community, you can also find every week new scripts
(and very soon new gadgets) on the community website.
*About Tux Gadget Manager*
TGF files take the format of a ZIP compressed archive containing a
number of files and directories as the graphical resources, the content
internationalization, the scripts, the sounds etc. These gadgets are
executable by the Tux Applications Framework. This amazing framework is
an application launcher dedicated to Tux Droid. It allows to execute
several applications in the same time and to share the resources
provided by the daemons. In order to manage easily the different
gadgets, Kysoh has also developed a Meta-Gadget called Tux Gadgets
Manager. This meta gadget is based on the same TGF format and run on the
top of the framework. Users can then also modify easily the Tux Gadgets
Manager to customize it as they want. The manager offers a vocal menu
and shortcuts to access the different gadgets through the remote control.
