Stealing iPads, banning patents and fightin' around the world
Play audio version
Is it trespassing to enter someone's property when they've allegedly stolen your iPad? Will the US Apple-Samsung verdict impact the never-ending Australian case or the fights across the rest of the world? What's New Zealand doing about software patents? And what's the latest Java vulnerability to rear its head?
So climb aboard, Tugger, and check out this week's Technolatte podcast, where we discuss:
Vulnerabilities in Java that would allow hackers to put malware and Trojans onto targeted systems (note: this podcast was recorded prior to Oracle releasing a fix for the vulnerabilities)
The verdict from a US jury granting Apple US$1.05 billion in damages for Samsung's infringement of Apple's patents, and whether this will affect the Australian case or any of the cases across the globe
Controversial moves by the New Zealand Government to ban patents on software, with major exemptions that some predict will be exploited by US software giants
Whether a person has the right to track down their stolen iPad using Find My iPhone, and then enter a private property to obtain that stolen iPad.
