Microsoft battles an alleged patent troll
,----[ Quote ]
| SOFTWARE BULLY Microsoft threw its toys out
| of the pram in court yesterday at the
| beginning of the jury trial against
| Virnetx.
|
| According to the Seatle PI, the Vole said
| that Virnetx only existed to sue it and
| would collapse if the court case failed.
|
| In his opening statement, Virnetx attorney
| Douglas Cawley told the jury that the
| inventors of an automatic vitual private
| network (VPN) technology for the CIA, SAIC
| employees Edmund "Gif" Munger and Bob
| Short, obtained patents and shopped around,
| trying to get companies to purchase their
| technology.

To The Dark Ages Of Videoâ
,----[ Quote ]
| Adobeâs Flash technology has been taking a
| beating lately. Apple still wonât support it
| on its upcoming iPad or its iPhone. Steve
| Jobs calls it buggy and crash-prone and
| dismisses Adobe as being lazy. Adobe is
| trying to fight the negative vibes emanating
| from Cupertino and elsewhere. It has already
| pointed out that it will be easy to convert
| Flash apps into iPad apps, and now CTO Kevin
| Lynch is weighing in to defend Flash.
