Personal Audio sued Apple in 2009 for $84 million, claiming infringement on patents for downloadable playlists. Apple eventually lost the case and a jury ordered them to pay $8 million in damages. More recently, Personal Audio has filed suit against several prominent podcasters claiming that &ldquo;Personal Audio is the owner of a fundamental patent involving the distribution of podcasts.&rdquo; The EFF challenged the patents calling the company a patent troll saying, "Patent trolls have been wreaking havoc on innovative companies for some time now." The vice president of licensing for the Texas company counters that the EFF is working for "large companies against a small business and a couple of inventors," adding "Every defendant calls every plaintiff a patent troll. I've heard IBM called a patent troll. It's one of those terms everyone defines differently." Mr. Logan has agreed to answer your questions about his company and his patents. As usual, ask as many as you'd like, but please, one question per post.<p><div class="share_submission" style="position:relative;"> <a class="slashpop" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Ask+Personal+Audio's+James+Logan+About+Patents%2C+Playlists%2C+and+Podcasts+%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F13RI1Mz"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="slashpop" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Ffeatures.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F13%2F06%2F09%2F1545205%2Fask-personal-audios-james-logan-about-patents-playlists-and-podcasts%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="nobg" href="http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://features.slashdot.org/story/13/06/09/1545205/ask-personal-audios-james-logan-about-patents-playlists-and-podcasts?utm_source=slashdot&amp;utm_medium=googleplus" onclick="javascript:window.open(this.href,'', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=600');return false;"><img src="http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png" alt="Share on Google+"/></a> </div></p><p><a href="http://features.slashdot.org/story/13/06/09/1545205/ask-personal-audios-james-logan-about-patents-playlists-and-podcasts?utm_source=rss1.0moreanon&amp;utm_medium=feed">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p><img width='1' height='1' src='http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647388/s/2d17ddda/mf.gif' border='0'/><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165665384310/u/49/f/647388/c/35028/s/2d17ddda/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165665384310/u/49/f/647388/c/35028/s/2d17ddda/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/165665384310/u/49/f/647388/c/35028/s/2d17ddda/a2t.img" border="0"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdotInterviews/~4/OaW147ie3hA" height="1" width="1"/>Mon, 10 Jun 2013 15:21:00 GMThttp://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647388/s/2d17ddda/l/0Lfeatures0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A60C0A90C154520A50Cask0Epersonal0Eaudios0Ejames0Elogan0Eabout0Epatents0Eplaylists0Eand0Epodcasts0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmsamzenpuspatents2013-06-10T15:21:00Z1ask-what-you-willfeatures1,1,0,0,0,0,0http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647388/s/2d17ddda/l/0Lfeatures0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A60C0A90C154520A50Cask0Epersonal0Eaudios0Ejames0Elogan0Eabout0Epatents0Eplaylists0Eand0Epodcasts0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmhttp://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdotInterviews/~3/3AmoVjKS6iY/story01.htmLast week you had the chance to ask Neil Gaiman, Amber Benson and the crew of Blood Kiss about the upcoming Kickstarter movie, vampires, and their past projects.

McAfee's works on producing natural antibiotics commercially in Belize was quickly overshadowed by police raids, murder allegations, and a month of evading Belizean authorities while maintaining his innocence. He was eventually captured and deported back to the United States in December 2012 without being charged with any crime. "Boston George" Jung (a man who has lived quite an unusual life himself) has been tapped to write McAfee's biography titled, No Domain. Now that things have mostly settled down, John has agreed to answer your questions. As usual, ask as many as you'd like, but please, one per post.<p><div class="share_submission" style="position:relative;"> <a class="slashpop" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Interview%3A+Ask+John+McAfee+What+You+Will%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F18flQ6E"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="slashpop" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Ffeatures.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F13%2F05%2F02%2F0230234%2Finterview-ask-john-mcafee-what-you-will%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="nobg" href="http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://features.slashdot.org/story/13/05/02/0230234/interview-ask-john-mcafee-what-you-will?utm_source=slashdot&amp;utm_medium=googleplus" onclick="javascript:window.open(this.href,'', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=600');return false;"><img src="http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png" alt="Share on Google+"/></a> </div></p><p><a href="http://features.slashdot.org/story/13/05/02/0230234/interview-ask-john-mcafee-what-you-will?utm_source=rss1.0moreanon&amp;utm_medium=feed">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p><img width='1' height='1' src='http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647388/s/2b70157e/mf.gif' border='0'/><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/164876690603/u/49/f/647388/c/35028/s/2b70157e/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/164876690603/u/49/f/647388/c/35028/s/2b70157e/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/164876690603/u/49/f/647388/c/35028/s/2b70157e/a2t.img" border="0"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdotInterviews/~4/2ZSTr7VGl00" height="1" width="1"/>Thu, 02 May 2013 16:50:00 GMThttp://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647388/s/2b70157e/l/0Lfeatures0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A50C0A20C0A230A2340Cinterview0Eask0Ejohn0Emcafee0Ewhat0Eyou0Ewill0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmsamzenpusnews2013-05-02T16:50:00Z13straight-from-the-sourcefeatures13,13,8,4,0,0,0http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647388/s/2b70157e/l/0Lfeatures0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A50C0A20C0A230A2340Cinterview0Eask0Ejohn0Emcafee0Ewhat0Eyou0Ewill0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmhttp://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdotInterviews/~3/jVLSr_5Xmfs/story01.htmFamous for his work in math, astronomy, nuclear engineering, and theoretical physics, Freeman Dyson has left his mark on almost every scientific discipline. He's won countless awards, and written numerous books on a wide range of topics both scientific and philosophical. One of his biggest contributions to science was the unification of the three versions of quantum electrodynamics invented by Feynman, Schwinger and Tomonaga. 10 years after moving to the U.S. he started working on the Orion Project, which sought to create a spacecraft with a nuclear propulsion system. STNG exposed the idea of a Dyson sphere to the masses, and his hypothetical plan for making a comet habitable with the help of genetically-engineered plants is a personal favorite. Mr. Dyson has graciously agreed give us a bit of his time in order to answer your questions.

In 2009 the company launched a prototyping and research laboratory called Intellectual Ventures Lab. The lab has hired many prominent scientists to work on a variety of inventions including safer nuclear reactor designs and vaccine research. Under Myhrvold's direction Intellectual Ventures has purchased 40,000 patents and applications and internally developed over 2000 inventions, but not without controversy. Nathan has agreed to take some time to answer your questions but please limit yourself to one question per post. As a bonus on Wed.

He started out as a play tester for Avalon Hill in 1979, and since then has worked for Activision and other major players in the game space. His current job is with PlayScreen, where he's working on their Word Carnivale iOS game, which is not violent at all. But over the years Volk has worked on slightly violent video games and has watched public outcries over video game violence since 1976. He's also tracked how much less violence we've seen since lead was removed from gasoline. (Editorial interjection: Aren't most remaining pockets of massive gun violence in cities where many poor kids grow up in apartments that have lead paint?) Due to technical problems during the interview, some of the conversation is missing, primarily about the recent spate of multiple murders. It seems, for instance, that Newtown shooter Adam Lanza was heavily into violent video games, which is sure to spark plenty of new discussion about how they affect players. But then again, as Volk reminded me in an email, "If people were influenced by video games, a majority of Facebook users would be farmers by now," a meme that has been floating around Facebook since last year, if not earlier.<p><div class="share_submission" style="position:relative;"> <a class="slashpop" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Senior+Game+Designer+Talks+About+Game+Violence%2C+Real+Violence%2C+and+Lead+(Video)%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FWUs07W"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="slashpop" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fgames.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F13%2F02%2F19%2F1648245%2Fsenior-game-designer-talks-about-game-violence-real-violence-and-lead-video%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="nobg" href="http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://games.slashdot.org/story/13/02/19/1648245/senior-game-designer-talks-about-game-violence-real-violence-and-lead-video?utm_source=slashdot&amp;utm_medium=googleplus" onclick="javascript:window.open(this.href,'', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=600');return false;"><img src="http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png" alt="Share on Google+"/></a> </div></p><p><a href="http://games.slashdot.org/story/13/02/19/1648245/senior-game-designer-talks-about-game-violence-real-violence-and-lead-video?utm_source=rss1.0moreanon&amp;utm_medium=feed">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p><img width='1' height='1' src='http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647388/s/28bc1e34/mf.gif' border='0'/><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/158873160745/u/49/f/647388/c/35028/s/28bc1e34/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/158873160745/u/49/f/647388/c/35028/s/28bc1e34/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/158873160745/u/49/f/647388/c/35028/s/28bc1e34/a2t.img" border="0"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdotInterviews/~4/yMGOzPovwqw" height="1" width="1"/>Tue, 19 Feb 2013 17:45:00 GMThttp://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647388/s/28bc1e34/l/0Lgames0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A20C190C16482450Csenior0Egame0Edesigner0Etalks0Eabout0Egame0Eviolence0Ereal0Eviolence0Eand0Elead0Evideo0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmRoblimogames2013-02-19T17:45:00Z5chemicals-can-outweigh-nurture-and-even-naturegames5,5,0,0,0,0,0http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647388/s/28bc1e34/l/0Lgames0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A20C190C16482450Csenior0Egame0Edesigner0Etalks0Eabout0Egame0Eviolence0Ereal0Eviolence0Eand0Elead0Evideo0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmhttp://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdotInterviews/~3/Su9aInVqWdQ/story01.htmRepublican staffer Derek Khanna was thrust into the spotlight in December for being fired after submitting a controversial brief titled: Three Myths about Copyright Law and Where to Start to Fix it. In the brief Khanna said: "Current copyright law does not merely distort some markets &ndash; rather it destroys entire markets," a view not very popular with Republicans in the House of Representatives. Since the firing, Khanna has continued to speak out on the need for copyright reform and most recently on the law against unlocking cellphones. Derek has graciously agreed to take some time to answer your questions about copyright reform and IP law.

Bakker was among the advisers for the movie Jurassic Park, and the character Dr. Robert Burke in the film The Lost World: Jurassic Park is based on him. He was one of the first to put forth the idea that some dinosaurs had feathers and were warm-blooded, and is credited with initiating the ongoing "dinosaur renaissance" in paleontology. Bakker is currently the curator of paleontology for the Houston Museum of Natural Science and the Director of the Morrison Natural History Museum in Colorado. He is also a Christian minister, who contends that there is no real conflict between religion and science, citing the writings and views of Saint Augustine as a guide on melding the two. Dr. Bakker has agreed to take some time from his writing and digging in order to answer your questions. As usual, ask as many questions as you'd like, but please, one question per post.<p><div class="share_submission" style="position:relative;"> <a class="slashpop" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Ask+Dr.+Robert+Bakker+About+Dinosaurs+and+Merging+Science+and+Religion%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F11nsib3"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="slashpop" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fscience.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F13%2F02%2F05%2F1623203%2Fask-dr-robert-bakker-about-dinosaurs-and-merging-science-and-religion%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="nobg" href="http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://science.slashdot.org/story/13/02/05/1623203/ask-dr-robert-bakker-about-dinosaurs-and-merging-science-and-religion?utm_source=slashdot&amp;utm_medium=googleplus" onclick="javascript:window.open(this.href,'', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=600');return false;"><img src="http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png" alt="Share on Google+"/></a> </div></p><p><a href="http://science.slashdot.org/story/13/02/05/1623203/ask-dr-robert-bakker-about-dinosaurs-and-merging-science-and-religion?utm_source=rss1.0moreanon&amp;utm_medium=feed">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p><img width='1' height='1' src='http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647388/s/28430068/mf.gif' border='0'/><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/151885214677/u/49/f/647388/c/35028/s/28430068/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/151885214677/u/49/f/647388/c/35028/s/28430068/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/151885214677/u/49/f/647388/c/35028/s/28430068/a2t.img" border="0"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdotInterviews/~4/AVgoNyQ5Nu0" height="1" width="1"/>Tue, 05 Feb 2013 17:52:00 GMThttp://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647388/s/28430068/l/0Lscience0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A20C0A50C162320A30Cask0Edr0Erobert0Ebakker0Eabout0Edinosaurs0Eand0Emerging0Escience0Eand0Ereligion0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmsamzenpusscience2013-02-05T17:52:00Zwhat's-old-is-newscience0,0,0,0,0,0,0http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647388/s/28430068/l/0Lscience0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A20C0A50C162320A30Cask0Edr0Erobert0Ebakker0Eabout0Edinosaurs0Eand0Emerging0Escience0Eand0Ereligion0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmhttp://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdotInterviews/~3/Bsaer-VhY_A/story01.htmReducing various items to a fine powder in one of his blenders earned Blendtec CEO Tom Dickson a cult following.
