Cisco delves deeper into the smart grid market by announcing today its plans to acquire Arch Rock Corp , a privately held company that makes IP-based wireless technology company for smart grid applications. This comes on the heels of yesterday’s announcement of their strategic alliance with smart meter giant Itron . Read more about it here and here . Chevrolet Volt automaker GM seeks to trademark the term “ range anxiety .” The phrase references the fear that electric vehicles will run out of battery on long trips. The Volt, it should be noted, has a gas engine that can extend its range. A Tesla spokesperson shot back: “By all means, GM can have ‘range anxiety.’ To Roadster owners, the term is as irrelevant as ‘gas stop’ or ‘smog check.’ We are, however, looking into trademarking ‘Tesla grin.’” Lux predicts winners and losers in coming solar industry shakeup

Section: Computers , Software / Applications When Microsoft first launched Windows 7, it sold a limited number of Family Packs for the OS.? The Family Packs have since been long sold-out, but now Microsoft is bringing them back, but again only for a limited run. The Windows 7 Family Pack gives you three licenses to put on as many computers.? The one catch is that the package only gives your three upgrades to WIndows 7 Home Premium, meaning you have to have XP or Vista installed on a computer to upgrade them.? You can’t use the Family Pack on a completely fresh computer, which is a shame, but can be easily worked around by just installing an older OS on the box first. The Family Pack will be available again on October 3 at retailers and online at the Microsoft Store.? Again, like last time, this is a limited time thing, it would seem.? Once their sold out, we don’t know when Microsoft will bring the bundle out again.? It would seem to make sense that Microsoft would keep the package around for those who want it, it is the best deal on the OS it would seem, and there would be a lot of people who want it.? Although, by only offering it for a limited time, and not saying how long that time period is, it is possible it could drive up sales and adoption of Windows 7.? Despite the fact that more people are using 7 over Vista, Microsoft still needs to get people off of XP and onto 7, and offering a good deal for a short period of time is a good way to drive up that demand

Section: Computers , Software / Applications , Web , Web Apps As of today, Quicken Online is no more. It’s been replaced by Mint.com, the financial service Intuit bought last year. The company says they’ve taken the best features from Quicken and folded them into Mint.com.? Users will have to sign up for a new account with Mint if they want to continue to use the service, and many of them may be irate to discover Intuit is taking no responsibility for migrating existing Quicken data over to the new service and they admit there is no easy way to do so. Users can import a transaction list to Mint, but that’s it. Have a .CSV backup file? Sorry, they can’t be imported. Frankly Intuit is handling this quite poorly.

Section: Computers , Software / Applications Microsoft filed a writ of certiorari in hopes the US Supreme Court will review their appeal against i4i.? According to the courts, Microsoft infringed on i4i patent 5787449, a patent that defines a “system and method for the separate manipulation of the architecture and content of a document, particularly for data representation and transformations.”? The courts awarded $290 million and a permanent injunction to i4i back in 2009. Microsoft attempted to appeal the case to the Court of Appeals, Federal Circuit and also failed to get a rehearing of the decision by the Court of Appeals.? The US Supreme Court is Microsoft’s last chance.? Of course, the Supreme Court may or may not review the case at its discretion.
