According to one of the attorneys of Rambus, it will be logging a request to the U.S. appeals court to revisit the recent patent rulings which involved the chip maker, he told after the hearing on Friday. Recently most of the income of Rambus is coming from its patent litigation against companies, as it constantly keeps filing lawsuit against the clients not paying for their patented technology. Most of the time winning the legal battle makes it easier for the company to negotiate additional licensing deal with the companies.

This act brought down the shares of the company almost 18 percent in just one day. Out of the two simultaneously running rulings, the U.S. appeals court has discovered that Rambus has destroyed important documents regarding one of them. These documents were allegedly related to a patent suit which it had previously won in a judgment of $350 million along with an additional interest with South Korea's Hynix Semiconductor. It has been requested by the appeals court that U.S. District Judge Ronald Whyte in San Jose, Calif. should review his decision of the case, after it has been brought to life that those document were destroyed by the company.

It has just been a week since the “30 Rock” star, Alec Baldwin, was born in Twittersphere that he immediately begins discussing hearty and deep topics like the country’s politics and the potential scale of the 2012 presidential contenders. He gave a vague indication that there might be a possibility that he himself may perhaps run for presidency in 2012. The actor has reportedly said earlier this year that, I’m “very, very interested” in scoring a political position. He is also allegedly going to leave the network, giving up his role as a “30 Rock” star, as his contract also expires just in time for beginning the election campaign of 2012. Baldwin wrote in his article published in Higginson Post, back in April, that “I want to take the opportunity to state that although my days on network TV may be numbered, I hope ‘30 Rock’ goes on forever.” He also tweeted regarding the topic this Thursday and Friday, he declared that the state of the nation is declining and question whether who will be the decent leader for the country, which it needs. He wrote on Friday that “I mentioned Romney because if he can overcome the Mormon issue with the Christian right, he could win it.”

Romney has that Plymouth Rock last name.” Several tweets later, Baldwin declared that Romney is one of the best choices for the Republican Party, he said “Romney has the best chance. But that’s not saying much.”
