An East Texas patent case that has attracted the attention of the technology world came to a screeching halt Thursday as the jury ruled that the key patent in the case is invalid. Eolas, a patent troll that has been shaking down technology companies for the better part of a decade, now faces the prospect of losing the patent.
As our sister site Wired reported yesterday, the case centers on a biologist, Michael Doyle, who claims to have invented the concept of interactive websites back in 1993. He applied for a patent, which was granted in 1998.

Google Inc. is close to launching a cloud-storage service that would rival one of Silicon Valley's hottest start-ups, cloud-storage provider Dropbox Inc., according to people familiar with the matter.
Like Dropbox, Google's storage service, called Drive, is a response to the growth of Internet-connected mobile devices like smartphones and tablets and the rise of "cloud computing," or storing files online so that they can be retrieved from multiple devices, these people said.

Canonical will no longer be funding my work on Kubuntu after 12.04. Canonical wants to treat Kubuntu in the same way as the other community flavors such as Edubuntu, Lubuntu, and Xubuntu, and support the projects with infrastructure. This is a big challenge to Kubuntu of course and KDE as well.
The practical changes are I won't be able to work on KDE bits in my work time after 12.04 and there won't be paid support for versions after 12.04. This is a rational business decision, Kubuntu has not been a business success after 7 years of trying, and it is unrealistic to expect it to continue to have financial resources put into it.
