“…If they [Burst patents] were indeed obvious, why would Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak say today in the WSJ that, ‘We didn't envision computers becoming storage areas for everything from music to movies.’" -- ? The answer is clear: the revolutionary technology addressed in the patents was far from obvious….”

Great find. He is certainly a person skilled in the art and he is saying essentially that the use of computers for storage of audio/video was HIGHLY non-obvious. What Mr. Wozniak has thus done is effectively provided testimony that highlights a huge area of infringement on Burst’s patents over and above the novel use of compression (to deliver time based files in less than playback time).

And prey tell, what is that ? The use of random access storage in an audio/video transceiver to aggregate a digital audio/video object that can be decompressed, viewed, edited and even resent to a hi-def monitor.

“…What is claimed is:

1. An audio/video transceiver apparatus comprising:….random access storage means, coupled to said compression means, for storing the time compressed representation of said audio/video source information…”

“..A still further object of the invention is to provide in such an improved audio/video recorder a capability for delivering output signals in different or formats including …a digital output signal for viewing on a high-resolution monitor…”

“…A still further object of the invention is to provide an improved audio/video recorder which provides convenience in the editing of stored data by virtue of its random access memory capability….”

“…It invents an affordable audio/video transceiver that, for the first time, IS capable of storing digitally compressed video/audio program material in random-access storage such as semiconductor memory….”

“…the audio/video becomes a digital "OBJECT" that can be saved, edited and resent….”

“..It is careful to claim "audio/video source information stored in said random access storage.." so that the received audio/video becomes a saved digital object, a file…”

It will be interesting to see what Mr. Wozniak says when he is deposed since he has gone on the record with testimony that substantially documents and expands the envelope of infringement by Apple upon Burst.com.

At least in my opinion….
