Two nabbed in Joss Stone murder plot
Two men were arrested Tuesday for suspicion of conspiracy to rob and murder singer Joss Stone in England, the BBC has reported, after they were discovered near her home in Devon with swords, a map of the singer’s home, and a body bag.
“Police attended an address in Cullompton after alert residents notified officers about a suspicious-looking vehicle,” said the Devon and Cornwall police. “Officers attended the area at around 10 a.m. and subsequently arrested the occupants of a red Fiat Punto. Major crime detectives are continuing to investigate.” It remains unclear whether Stone was home at the time of the arrest of the two men, who remain unidentified but are aged 33 and 30.
“Joss is aware of the arrests and police are keeping her updated with developments,” a spokesperson for Stone said in a statement.

Microsoft loses $300 million Supreme Court case
The United States Supreme Court handed Microsoft a stinging defeat in its appeal of a $300 million patent case verdict, according to Bloomberg. Back in 2007, I4i LP sued the computer giant, claiming that its patented technology had been illegally used in Microsoft Word, the popular word-processing program. Apple and Google had supported Microsoft’s legal effort to reverse the ruling, but the Court was unanimous, 8-0, in its support of the initial verdict. (Chief Justice John Roberts, who owns Microsoft stock, removed himself from the case.)
“While the outcome is not what we had hoped for, we will continue to advocate for changes to the law that will prevent abuse of the patent system and protect inventors who hold patents representing true innovation,” said Kevin Kutz, a Microsoft spokesman, in an e-mail to Bloomberg.
