Twitter takes the Microsoft shilling
,----[ Quote ]
| WIBBLESOME HOME OF SMALL UTTERANCES, TWITTER has taken Microsoft money to
| launch a web site called ExecTweets.com

| The idea is to allow bosses of big companies to burble on about stuff to
| plebs in libraries who don't own their own PCs.

Microsoft sues TomTom over FAT patents
,----[ Quote ]
| The underlying strategy is very obvious: Make those patent licenses high
| enough to reduce the cost advantage of a Linux based OS over Windows CE and
| thereby demotivate companies from using Linux in the embedded world.
|
| This has so far happened behind closed doors, but if you google you can find
| a couple of strange press releases of Asian companies buying into those MS
| patent deals for Linux.
|
| [...]
|
| I myself, as well as numerous other people in the Free and Open Source world
| are asking themselves how this legal action fits into the
| Microsoft-proclaimed Free Software friendly strategy. As you can see now,
| that was nothing but vapor.
