Rambus wants to stop Nvidia products from being imported into the US

,----[ Quote ]
| It seems that the negotiations between Rambus and Nvidia over the licence 
| fees for Rambus patents haven't been going too well. Rambus has now filed a  
| complaint against Nvidia at the US International Trade Commission (USITC), 
| asking the USITC to order an import ban for products with Nvidia parts 
| containing memory controllers for SDRAM memory components like DDR, DDR2, 
| DDR3, LPDDR, GDDR, GDDR2 and GDDR3. This probably includes most of Nvidia's 
| graphics chips, mainboard chipsets and notebook chipsets, including those 
| incorporated in the latest Apple notebooks as well as products by Asus, BFG, 
| Biostar, Diablotek, EVGA, Gigabyte, HP, MSI, Palit, Pine and Sparkle, who 
| were all explicitly listed by Rambus.

,----[ Quote ]

| invent controllable 3D human avatars.

No, people just put together existing knowledge to make new ideas. Ideas,
unlike implementations, cannot be owned. It would be travesty.
