With all the lawsuits piling up over the past month, I felt a revision of this graphic was needed. In this update I also included patent holding companies.
I think the only way this could get more interesting if I actually held patents on any of this.
Holograms meet Ethernet in New Display Technology →
Still not Star Wars, but we're getting there. We're at least in single digit seconds per frame.

California State Board of Equalization →
The Board of Equalization collects California state sales and use tax, as well as fuel, alcohol, and tobacco taxes and fees that provide revenue for state government and essential funding for counties, cities, and special districts.
The "Board of Equalization" sounds like the "The Board of Take My Money Away and Never Give It Back". At least I get to vote on who does that.

Adobe Edge Prototype Demo →
Now this is more like it Adobe, a demo of a new HTML5 animation editor.
Looks impressive but from the demo the UI appears to be Air or similar to the Flash parts of the Flash IDE, judging from the dodgy tooltips and font rendering. Now thats perfectly fine for a prototype, but from my experiences with the non-native elements of the Flash UI and the Fireworks UI are horrible to work in.
Looks like they're finally almost kinda-sorta getting it. I did have a sudden chill go down my spine at the thought of the HTML/CSS/JS output it'll generate, though.
