And Of Course: Twitter Sued For Patent Infringement In Texas
,----[ Quote ]
| This should hardly be a surprise, but with Twitter being so popular lately,
| it was only a matter of time until it was targeted in patent infringement
| lawsuits. At the very least, the company suing them appears to (a) actually
| be based in Texas and (b) have a product on the market. But... that doesn't
| make TechRadium's lawsuit against Twitter any more reasonable or sensible.

Officethemovie â One to keep an eye on?
,----[ Quote ]
| Having looked at the account, IMO theres certainly room for suspicion and the
| account may be of interest to people who dont like the idea of FUD being
| spread at the expense of alternative to Microsoft products.
|
| What makes me suspicious is the fact that at the time of writing this they
| follow no people.

Microsoft on Twitter! Flanakin Microwalker on Windows 7!
,----[ Quote ]
| As regulars here are aware, in between commenting on tech issues, I do like
| to challenge comments which I think need clarity at the very least. ÂHeres
| Flanakin hes a senior development consultant for Microsoft and would like to
| tell you a few things about Windows 7:
|
| âwowâ the polish on Win7 RC is absolutely beautifulâ some small things are
| astoundingly better than the betaâ
|
| ârepaving my oldest machine with Win7 RCâ
|
| and whats the spec of this old PC? Two months old is it?
|
| [...]
|
| So I decided to give Flanakin Microwalkerâs site a visit.
| http://michaelflanakin.com/ heres a snippet of what he has to say there:
|
| âIâm an open source advocate, when it makes sense, and have a strong software
| engineering and architecture background.â
