Editor's Note: What Linux Can Do That Those Big Proprietary Innovators Can't
,----[ Quote ]
| I am bored. Bored of the word "innovation", and the way it is bandied about
| by every tech vendor. I don't know how they keep straight faces, maybe they
| actually believe their own bushwah. There are very few that demonstrate any
| actual innovation. I would say that Apple leads the industry; Intel, AMD, and
| Google are also on my "actually push the boundaries and do neat new things"
| list. Our favorite software monopolist innovates new extremes of bullying,
| thuggery, and extracting top dollar for overlapping licenses and pooware, so
| I don't think that rates inclusion.

Microsoft Deems Emotiflags Patent-Worthy
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft said you could count on them to improve patent quality.
| For an example of how they're raising the bar on innovation, check
| out this just-published patent application for Emotiflags, which
| Microsoft explains solves the problem of indicating an emotion
| associated with an email message. At the risk of infringing on the
| patent, this one Makes Me Mad!"

Fun with Google Patent Search: Why does the maker of Windows hold a patent on
a door hinge?
,----[ Quote ]
| The patent was granted in 1998 and received a dribble of publicity
| in 1999, but I'm hard pressed to find any meaningful explanation for
| a door hinge being in the control of the company that made Windows famous.
