Patent Lawsuit Over Shazam Highlights The Difference Between Invention And
Implementation
,----[ Quote ]
| That is the process of innovation. The idea was a useful starting point, but
| it was meaningless until the idea could be implemented in a way that the
| market wanted. And, yet, some guy who had the same idea, but didn't go
| through the trials and tribulations of actually making it work for the
| market, suddenly gets to demand tons of money for it? That's an economic and
| societal waste.

US Science panel assimilated?
,----[ Quote ]
| The BBC site say:
|
| “As a member of President Obama’s new science panel, he is also involved in
| helping the US administration understand the unfolding intersection between
| technology and society.”
|
| I wonder if this “understanding” will involve him mentioning Linux/Mac or
| other alternatives? I wouldnt have thought Mr Mundie would want anyone
| understanding them, not when Microsoft have a tool for everyone!?!??
|
| Anyway, resistance is futile. Next time you keep watch on your toaster (to
| prevent toast burning) consider that in the future, it could be
| Microsofts “feature rich & intelligent” toaster watching back at you.
