Video Game talk on StarTalk
I just listened to this great talk on StarTalk about video games. It’s a little older, but still really relevant and touched upon many of the things we discuss in class:
Apple and the Smartphone Wars
Further to Roch’s point today in class about the patent wars by Apple, here is (another) article I wrote the IP blog out of Osgoode discussing some of the potential benefits or not to the smartphone wars. http://www.iposgoode.ca/2013/05/can-apple-unlock-a-benefit-to-the-smartphone-patent-wars/
Digital assets when you die
If anyone is interested, here is a link to an article I wrote for Osgoode’s IP blog about inheritance of people’s digital assets: http://www.iposgoode.ca/2013/05/who-inherits-your-likes/ It is mostly about Google’s recent feature for inactive account management, but also discusses some other issues.
