Microsoft â âYour culture will adapt to service usâ? â Its all
about probes! (patent 20090327171)

| So lets see why some people think like this.
| Its being reported that Microsoft is pushing a
| ânewâ innovation. Now before you all groan or
| start checking to see if a MS third party has
| used some of your code, lets have a look at
| what I think is a truly frightening vision of
| the future involving Microsoft.

How Thomas Edison, Patron Saint Of Patent Holders, Copied Others'
Works To 'Invent' The Light Bulb
,----[ Quote ]
| We've written in the past how Thomas Edison
| -- who is often held up by patent hoarders
| as the perfect example of why patents are
| necessary -- didn't actually invent any of
| the stuff he's famous for "inventing."
| Instead, he's most famous for taking the
| work of others and innovating around it just
| slightly, to find a good market -- but then
| also patenting the work of others and
| blocking anyone else from entering the
| market. I admire his innovative side and his
| marketing prowess, but find his abuse of
| patents to be unfortunate. Reader Michael
| points to a recent story in Wired which
| highlights how this worked with the
| incandescent lightbulb.
