Projecting Without a Projector: Sharing Your Smartphone Content Onto An Arbitrary Display
October 12, 2013
Previously, we presented Deep Shot, a system that allows a user to “capture” an application (such as Google Maps) running on a remote computer monitor via a smartphone camera and bring the application on the go. Today, we’d like to discuss how we support the opposite process, i.e., transferring mobile content to a remote display, again using the smartphone camera. Although the computing power of today’s mobile devices grows at an accelerated rate, the form factor of these devices remains...

Wave of Patent Cases Hits the Bay Area
October 7, 2013
The map of patent litigation is shifting, and the Northern District of California is gaining ground. A confluence of legislative reform and new case law has made it easier for companies slapped with patent infringement lawsuits to get out of the sticky Eastern District of Texas. Many of them are taking their cases West. More than a quarter of all patent cases that have been transferred so far in 2013 landed in the Northern District of California, and 36 percent were sent to federal courts statewide,...

LinkedIn is now one of the world’s...

My Experience with the iPhone 5s
October 6, 2013
Knowing that the iPhone 5s is currently in limited supply, I arrived at my local AT&T store early Friday morning to get in line. Supplies were indeed limited, and about 30 minutes before the store opened at 8 am I was reminded of the quote from Henry Ford that "Any customer can have a [Model T] car painted any colour that he wants so long as it is black" when the AT&T employees announced that they were not provided with any white or gold iPhones. I wanted a 64 GB black model anyway...
