Intel legal chief swaps chips for bite of Apple
Headline Legal News |

Intel's general counsel Bruce Sewell has beaten a hasty retreat from Chipzilla in favour of a new job over at Apple.
Sewell hung up his Intel boots yesterday on the same day that the company’s long-serving senior digital veep Pat Gelsinger was poached by storage giant EMC.
Apple spun out a statement today confirming Sewell’s move.
Intel’s chief lawyer joined the firm in 1995, during which time he has battled with competition watchdogs in Asia, the US and Europe, where he has fervently defended Intel against antitrust claims.
Apple said Sewell would replace its current general counsel, Daniel Cooperman, who will retire from the Cupertino-based firm at the end of September.

Higher Standards for Vending Machines
Headline Legal News |
2009/09/08 09:05
|
Courthouse News reports that cold beverages dispensed from refrigerated vending machines will cost less to cool according to new standards proposed by the Department of Energy that will increase the electrical efficiency of new machines.
The 2.5 million such machines in use in the United States consume approximately 7.5 billion kWh per year. This equipment costs American businesses nearly $600 million annually to power. The DOE believes that number will go down as the new standards are applied to new machines. By 2042, DOE expects energy savings from the standards to save about $489 million a year.
These energy savings will result in cumulative greenhouse gas emission reductions of approximately 9.6 million metric tons of carbon dioxide an amount equal to that produced by 2 million cars every year. |

'Robocalls' To Stop Today
Headline Legal News |
2009/09/01 09:06
|
According to Courthouse News, prerecorded telemarketing calls to consumers - commonly known as robocalls - are supposed to stop Sept. 1. The calls will be prohibited whether or not the consumer previously has done business with the seller, and a only a telemarketer with the consumers' written permission to call can get around the rule.
In announcing the prohibition, the Federal Trade Commission Chairman, Jon Leibowitz, said, American consumers have made it crystal clear that few things annoy them more than the billions of commercial telemarketing robocalls they receive every year. He added, If consumers think they're being harassed by robocallers, they need to let us know, and we will go after them. Penalties for violating the rule are up to $16,000 per call.
The new requirement is part of amendments to the agency's Telemarketing Sales Rule (TSR) that were announced a year ago. |

EPA Tells NY To Submit Better Ozone-Control Plan
Headline Legal News |
2009/08/31 09:04
|
Courthouse News reports that the Environmental Protection Agency threatened to reject New York's plan to limit ozone emissions, saying the state has not shown that it instituted all reasonably available control technologies and will not meet the 8-hour ozone standard in the New York Metropolitan Area or statewide.
If New York does not submit an acceptable plan to the EPA within 18 months of final disapproval, it could face imposition of a federal implementation plan and limitations on its receipt of federal highway funds.
The Clean Air Act authorized the EPA to establish National Ambient Air Quality Standards that apply to outdoor air throughout the United States. |
