As lawmakers and lobbyist prepare to do battle over legislation that would make sweeping changes to the U.S. patent system, one group backed by small and mid-sized companies hoping to influence the process has hired an executive director to coordinate its efforts in the 111th Congress. The Innovation Alliance announced Friday that it had brought on Brian Pomper, former international trade counsel for Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus. After leaving Capitol Hill, he co-founded consulting firm where he worked with clients on international trade and intellectual property.
The alliance's members, which include well known names like Dolby Laboratories and Qualcomm as well as lesser known firms, "understand that American ideas and innovation have been a critical part of our economic success and will be even more important in our economic recovery," Pomper said. He vowed to fight for a strong patent system that protects the rights of American inventors and drives our economy toward recovery. The Innovation Alliance, however, was a loud critic of patent bills introduced last Congress and complained that the proposals would have done more harm than good.

Me and a buddy have decided to team up and create some apps for the app store. And we needed some advice on things people would like to see. So what's better than asking whoever looks at this? So feel free to list things for us to try and create for the iPhone/iPod Touch etc. Any feedback is appreciated. Thank you!

No, you need a minimum of 450 watts to run that card. If you have less than 450 watts it'll cause many problems down the road. It'll eventually burn the PSU out and could also burn out some other components.
