Lean, mean and clean - meet the Zonbu
Subscription-based computers have never proved very popular but now a California-based outfit has come up with a new twist: a subscription-based environmentally friendly computer that will cut electricity bills. CNet reports reports that the Zonbu will sell for $99 with a $12.95/month subscription charge. The company say that the deal is better than it looks because the 15-watt PC can save up to $10 a month in electricity compared with a standard 200-watt PC.

GSK Argues Testimony Does Not Create Genuine Issue Of Fact
NEW ORLEANS - GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) argues in a July 17 reply to a PPA plaintiff's opposition to summary judgment that the testimony presented by the plaintiff cannot create a genuine issue of fact as to whether he took its product immediately before his stroke (Alejandro Garcia, et al. v. SmithKline Beecham Corp., et al., No. 01-3424, E.D. La.; See July 2007, Page 6). Full story on lexis.com
Systems glitch hits hundreds of Tokyo stations
Hundreds of thousands of commuters in Tokyo got a free ride to work Friday morning after a systems glitch caused more than 7,000 ticket gates at 662 railway stations to fail.
The gates, which allow passengers with contactless smart cards to access the railway, failed to work when power was switched on at the start of Friday services and rail operators decided to allow passengers access at no charge. A large number of passengers use the contactless cards, and forcing them to buy paper tickets would have meant long queues and congestion at railway stations during the morning rush hour.
The problem occurred at stations operated by East Japan Railway, Tokyo Metro, and several private railway operators.
While the cause of the failure is not yet known, the fault appears to lie with the manufacturer of the ticket gates, Nippon Signal Co. Gates made by other companies operated without problem on Friday.
Local news reports said initial investigations point to a problem in communcation between the gates and a host computer. Nippon Signal was unavailable for immediate comment.
Tokyo has one of the most extensive railways networks of any city in the world. More than 60 railway companies operate several hundred railway lines that crisscross the capital and carry millions of people per day. The contactless smart card system interoperates between different companies and allows passengers the ability to travel on almost all trains, subways and buses in the city with a common card.
More than 27 million contactless travel cards have been issued in the Tokyo area to-date.

Judge Wants Evidence on Name Plaintiffs' Role in $16 Million Morgan Stanley Settlement
In examining a proposed $16 million class action settlement between Morgan Stanley and its minority retail brokers, U.S. District Senior Judge Thelton Henderson went out of his way to praise the modesty of plaintiffs lawyers' 10 percent fee request -- well below the 9th Circuit benchmark. Nonetheless, Henderson postponed signing off on the deal. Instead, he ordered an evidentiary hearing to delve into just how involved name plaintiffs were in the settlement negotiations.

Judge: Plaintiff Failed To Prove PPA Ingestion In 72-Hour Window
NEW ORLEANS - A federal judge said in a Dec. 17 order that a plaintiff cannot prove that he ingested the defendant's PPA-containing cold medication within 72 hours preceding his stroke and, therefore, cannot prove causation (Alejandro Garcia, et al. v. SmithKline Beecham Corp., et al., No. 01-3424, E.D. La.; 2007 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 92267; See August 2007, Page 13). Full story on lexis.com
