Sony patent proposal ponders planting physicians inside your plasma (Engadget)

Remember when Sony said it would "unify" its product lines and consider going
into the medical device business? Well, we've unearthed this patent
application from 2010 that does that just. A wireless wristband monitors your
heart rate, vitals and blood glucose levels, and beams that information to
your TV over infra-red. Your data will then update in real time for you to
watch of an evening, if it's a choice between _that_ and _Gossip Girl_, at
least. Moreover, if your TV is web-connected, it could even send emergency
messages to your local HMO if the conclusion of your favorite show / sporting
event sends you into chest-clutching fits of apoplexy.

How are knock-off cereals legal?

Here I am, eating my store-brand "Honey Crunchin' Oats", an obvious knockoff of Post's Honey Bunches of Oats. I see direct ripoffs of Froot Loops, Cap'n Crunch, and so much more! Are these name-brand cereals not patented, even with such unique shapes, colors, flavors, and textures?

Even if they were patented. patents expire after about 20 years.

I got news for you. Fruit Loops and the good Capt'm have been around a lot longer than 20 years. Heck that box of Honey Crunchin Oats may have been around longer than 20 years.
