Sky-high gas prices are surfacing memories of a bygone era — the 1970s — defined by bellbottoms, disco music and (you guessed it) gas lines. Modern motorists might pine for the prospect of 50-cent a gallon unleaded gas that the decade averaged, but don’t compare that to the $4-plus a gallon we’re shelling out ($5 in California!) today.

Last week, the International Trade Commission (ITC) ruled that Google infringed on five patents held by Sonos, related to creating and controlling speaker groups. The ITC entered an order that would have restricted the importation and sale of a variety of the company’s Nest smart speakers.  Sonos, as one might expect, declared it a total victory because its patents were affirmed as valid, and the ITC agreed that Google had stolen its technology for use in its own products. The company was… Source link
