Patent pooling to access patented knowledge for innovation 2008-04-15 21:55:00 A patent is a set of exclusive rights granted by a state to an inventor or his assignee for a fixed period of time in exchange for a disclosure of an invention.Patent
pool is a consortium of two or more companies agreeing to cross-license patents relating to particular technology. This is mainly done to save time and money of the patentees and licenses to relax the legal complications. Patent pool is a hot debate. This helps to keep alive the non exclusive quality of knowledge and information. The more people use a technology or product its value is incremented.Patented knowledge is protected by Patent rights which clearly forbid it from being used easily and widely. Until the Patent owner eases the restriction of the exclusive rights acquired by him/her the product or technology is far f Read more:patented
Giving out custom RSS from your Drupal Site 2008-04-02 22:18:00 Recently I ran into a problem where by I had to give out RSS of the Forum only from a DRUPAL 5 site, as the website was forum centered but it had blogs also. So when I first used the default rss.xml like () it gave out all the update not only the updated of the Forum that I wanted. I even tried another RSS source but it also had the same output. So problem is: giving out RSS of Forum only, how to do that?Then I was suggested to use the views module, I said to myself views how will it do that? But I was not using the "Arguments" part of views there was the trick. Read the steps below if you want to do it yourself as well:Assumed you have views installed, login as the adminstrator (user1) or user with access to edit views.Goto Administer>>(under Site Buliding) Views>>AddIn the new view conf Read more:Giving

5 Notable April Fools Gags of 2008 2008-04-01 09:50:00 This year AprilFools
had some great pranks and gags to offer, here are 5 of them which I liked. Some are even believable I guess:Google+ Virgin Media = Virgle --- are sending people to live in MARS,“Here's the Virgle Pioneer pitch: Things will get better. Eventually. Sure, the work will be hard, the broadband rates low, the commodes decidedly open source, and yes, your life might be extinguished in a fiery instant of catastrophic technological malfunction. But your enriched descendants will appreciate your sacrifice, which should render worthwhile your choice to spend the rest of your (perhaps radically foreshortened) life in deprivation and uncertainty.”They (two co-founders of Google) have even put a convincing 1 minute youtube video about it, see it here. Google had other gags as w
Tashan Music Review: Vishal Shekhar not out of beats in Tashan as well 2008-03-30 23:02:00 This is another hyped about YRF movie to hit the silver screen this April 25. The promos aired are fun and filled with the glamor element. The album art and covers are overflowing with “ishtyle”, the color and typography go in sync with the whole package and help to build the curiosity about the album itself. The recent promos with the stars advocating about the movie itself is quite conventional and overused “pharmoola”. The music is orchestrated by the dynamic duo Vishal and Shekhar but interestingly all the song have different lyricist. A package of Tashan (which I found literally means a blend of style and attitude) has 9 songs this collection has 5 songs no remixes and four dialog intros of the four lead actors. Let’s scrutinize each of the songs one after another.The album Read more:Music

Template". You can have its code here. You can put this template in you blog following the steps below. Please change the CSS as necessary to fit your needs.

You should also consider any embedded code in your current template like Google Analytics script or any other website statistics code or things like that. I also recommend not to use pictures whose width exceed 400px it may also cause problems and when posting long URL do consi Read more:Theme

10 Useful Facebook Apps 2008-03-12 01:07:00 Facebook.com has arguably become the most popular, best enjoyed and celebrated social networking website of current times. The reasons may vary from people to people on why is it so popular some may say the finely tuned easy to use layout, some may add the wealth of applications available for almost everything and all other reasons. But I say it’s the API of facebook that has provoked developers to show their web programming skills and develop an application for a web application (or a website) that is the 7th most visited website according to Alexa.com. So if you want to attract instant visitors to your website then develop a facebook app and see the difference.

Swimming pets good for health 2008-03-12 00:45:00 Have you ever thought of owning an aquarium? If yes and you thought who would go through all the hassle then here is an insiders guide to keeping fish as a pet. Now you can have a pet without hair, fur and without other problems associated with a furry friend. Imagine your room with a fish tank, watching the fish swim, how soothing and energizing you are feeling. An initial setup will cost you somewhere around Rs. 5 thousand or above with the cost of a tank, other accessories and some fish. The standard and popular tank sizes in Kathmandu are 12*15*30 cubic inches, 12*15*48 cubic inches, 12*18*48 cubic inches etc. A tank will gulp up twenty five or above liters of water as per its size. In the yesteryears, people used to build custom tanks with metal angles to support the glass but now pre Read more:Swimming
DrupalModules.com must for every Drupal user 2008-03-10 00:09:00 Two days back surfing through drupalsites.net I stumbled upon Drupal
Modules.com. Using Drupal for past 1 year + I was consistently in search of a website that reviewed Drupal modules except of the information given in the download page or the module’s page at Drupal.org.

Drupal Experience Sharing at Prime College 2008-02-23 21:27:00 Being associated with Prime College
from the past 6 years I’ve had good and ok memories attached with my college. Yesterday (23rd Feb 2008) after being postponed from an earlier date I conducted an experience sharing session at my colleges’ lab. With 21 participants mainly from the current BIM 7th Semester and some from BIM 5th semester as well the experience sharing went ok. Why ok, because I couldn’t deliver what I had planned for and also because of the following things.The load shedding problem everyone is facing in our country which is said to be the home of 2nd largest water resource . :-(The restrictive network environment of our college (it’s a must as it’s open to all students.)The slow computers (well they had just been upgraded some months back but still…)Apache bein Read more:Drupal

Getting multiple values from a single selection of a form. 2008-01-21 08:47:00 Have you ever tried to get multiple values from a single

/list box. It allows multiple selection with a simple attribute of multiple="multiple" but it does not work. The trick to make it work is use an array. How See below:<html><head><title>The Form Page</title></head><body><p><strong>Form Page</strong></p><form name="per_info" method="post" action="insert.php"><table width="64%" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr><td width="32%">Full Name: </td><td width="33%"><input type="text" name="fullname" /></td></tr><tr><td>E-Mail Address: </td><td><input type="text" name="email_add" /></td></tr><tr><td>Inte
CCPlus opening up new horizons? 2008-01-20 05:17:00 CCPlus or Creative Commons plus is a new facilitation of license available in the Creative Commons license set. It aims to provide more permission beyond any standard CC License. Lets demystify the jargon, CCPlus (not C++ ) has a basic idea to use a CC license appended with another agreement that provided “more permission”. For some people it would be like gazing at a newspaper advert which consists of that * (conditions apply) after the very catchy line.The official Creative Commons website’s (www.creativecommons.org) wiki has a note that reads “NOTE: Above, the CC license should link to the human deed and the generic commercial license would link to a place to get a commercial license for a work. The COMMERCIAL LICENSE is generic and should be tailored for specific uses with s
Manager in a Minute, possible!!! 2008-01-16 06:44:00 Andrew Grove, CEO of Intel states “Just as you would not permit a fellow employee to steal a piece of office equipment, you shouldn't let anyone walk away with the time of his fellow managers.” A manager’s job has always been considered a very hard job which is time taking and attention demanding to accomplish but this book claims it can be done in and around 1 minute. The book is titled the one minute manager and it states to have the trademark of: 01 symbol as seen in the cover. The book is inked by Ken Blanchard and Spencer Johnson. Blanchard is the president of Blanchard training and development Inc (BTD). Dr. John Spencer is the chairman of Candle Communications Corporations. There remains no doubt that the dynamic duo is incapable of writing a book on management. It is Read more:Minute

Jal’s Boondh will win your heart drop by drop 2007-12-22 23:13:00 After a long wait of four years Jal have finally come up with their new album “Boondh – A drop of Jal”. As in “Aadat” this collection also has 12 songs but in place of two instrumental tracks as of Aadat, Boondh has two slow version numbers at the end. Let’s scrutinize what the album in total has to offer to the buyer. Everyone know blue and water is connected but Mr. Murtaza Naiz has taken it to new heights with the cover design, mainly the front cover is exuberant with water lit candle (See Picture). The trio also looks trendy with short hair and something to say on their own about the album in the inlays. A good thing is that the cover has credited all people involved in the making of this album The album kicks off with “Sajni” vocalized by th
