Wanna watch the Winter Olympics online? You'll need Silverlight
,----[ Quote ]
| NBC's Winter Olympics Web site went live
| Wednesday. While the site's main navigation
| module is powered by Adobe Flash, NBC's video
| player is all Microsoft Silverlight. This
| time around, a year-and-a-half after the 2008
| Summer Olympics in Beijing, there are some
| cool new features.

Microsoft would use Linux to even spew its XAML garbage. Can't it rely on
Windows for CDNs?

Akamai Set for A Breakout
,----[ Quote ]
| To recap, on Friday afternoon a jury in the U.S. District Court of
| Massachusetts ruled that Limelight infringed on an Akamai patent that covers
| certain technologies related to content delivery via the Internet. The jury
| awarded Akamai $45.5 million in damages, and we fully expect Limelight to
| appeal the verdict as it believes it did not infringe on Akamai's patent.

Microsoft Should Be Clear of Infringing Akamai's 703 Patent
,----[ Quote ]
| Live streaming, software downloads, application acceleration, delivery to a
| device etc... are not infringing as they are either not cached or not
| delivered to a browser. So not everything on Limelight's network is in
| violation of the 703 patent. I don't know what percentage of Limelight's
| traffic or revenue is outside of the 703 patent but that would be interesting
| to know.

| Microsoft's Remote Procedure Call port 135 saw the most attacks hitting it,
| with nearly 30 percent of attacks trying to break into systems that way.
| Another 13 percent tried to tag NetBIOS through port 139.
