Microsoft and Patents
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft initially started this patent
| crusade about 3 years ago, and after the
| initial wave of accusations the Redmond
| giant seemed to slumber. All was well for a
| while. Sure, we all felt as though Novell,
| Xandros, and Linspire had sold their souls
| to Satan, but we didn't really care. There
| were no real effects of the deals seen.
| Microsoft claimed that 235 patents had been
| violated, but to date they have yet to say
| who violated those patents and in what way.
| To me, this seems like a massive FUD
| campaign.
|
| [...]
|
| Rather recently in the Microsoft crusade
| against Linux, Microsoft approached Amazon.
| The Kindle's embedded OS is Linux based, OH
| NOES! This leaves a striking pattern. As
| soon as you start making money with Linux
| software, and Microsoft doesn't get your
| money they attack you in some way. Amazon
| also paid Microsoft some money during the
| patent exchange, which raises my
| suspicions... If this kind of treatment
| continues, I hope that someone will have
| the ire to stand against Microsoft at some
| point, and demand that the accusations and
| the specifics of the violations and
| violators be made public. How can anyone
| comply if the information isn't made
| public?

LG LU2300 Details Emerging
,----[ Quote ]
| Details are starting to emerge (translated) about a forthcoming
| Android-based smart phone from South Korean handset maker LG.
| From the sounds of it, the LU2300 will fit well with some of
| the newer "super" phones like the Nexus One and Motorola Droid.
