A big double thumbs up today to Alessandro Zanardi, better known to most American racing fans as Alex. Zanardi won a gold medal in the hand cycling time trial at the Paralympic games in London today. Since losing both legs and very nearly his life in a 2001 crash, Zanardi came back to win races in the World Touring Car Championship in a BMW with hand controls and now a gold medal.

Zanardi is a prime example of living life to the fullest no matter what it throws back at you.

Wow! The Apple-Samsung jury foreman clearly lead his colleagues down the wrong path. 

In a Q&A with Gizmodo http://gizmodo.com/apple-vs-samsung/ readers yesterday, Velvin Hogan was asked:

Demon-Xanth: Did you have the opportunity to ask “Is this something that should be patentable?” during the trial?

Velvin Hogan:@Demon-Xanth– No, however it was not the function of this jury to ask that. We were bound to use the law as it is today. The patents were issued the judge instructed us not to second guess the current patent system.

Hogan clearly misunderstood since for each patent in question the jury was asked to decide if it was valid. Determining if a patent is valid is NOT the same as determining if the law is valid. I'm not hopefully that Judge Lucy Koh will overturn this verdict, but hopefully if Hogan keeps spouting his mouth off, an appeals court will.

This will probably end up much like the Proview IPAD case with a payout from Apple that makes these guys go away but in the meantime, it may be fun to watch Apple getting all indignant.
