  1. Think of the CHILDREN!!! by confusion · · Score: 1 · on Online Rich Media Patented

    Just how much money are we depriving these poor people's kids by not paying them money when we visit digg or play flash games?

    On a separate note, I wonder how they are going to value this patent. I haven't really found any indications on that - am I going to have to start paying royalties on the sites that I already provide free of charge and ads?

    ugh.

  2. Is it a pig? by confusion · · Score: 1 · on Microsoft Officially Announces Anti-Virus Product

    I know there is a lot of concern in the security circles about MS' entry into A/V. First, there are some many ways to get Norton or Mcafee for free or next to it, I don't see that as a big threat. I see the much bigger threat being the potential for MS' A/V program to not be such a freaking enormous, bloated pig, like Norton and Mcafee.

  3. Double standard... by confusion · · Score: 4, Insightful · on Yahoo Allegedly Sells Reporter Out to Chinese Authorities

    I'm no advocate of the Chinese government, but the US is applying a double standard to these companies. On the one hand, the US wants Google to roll over and give them what they want to stop something the US considers "bad", namely child porn. In the same breath, they want those same companies to stand up against foreign governments who are trying to prosecute something they consider "bad".

  4. Increasing net losses??? by confusion · · Score: 2, Interesting · on Vonage IPO

    I really can't wait to invest in a company that has "increasing net losses". It's like 1999 all over again. I know they're after some capital, but profits talk right now and I really can't see this going well for them.

  5. Driving the wedge deeper by confusion · · Score: 5, Interesting · on Microsoft Licensing Fee Intended To Reduce Hobbyists

    MS certainly isn't winning over any of the open source community with that move. It really drives the wedge deeper and give more people more reason to not use Windows.

    I do have to wonder how much of this is to show a strong front to the increasingly powerful media companies and their mostly oppresive DRM schemes.

  6. Unfortunate Liability by confusion · · Score: 4, Interesting · on New Honda Accord Drives Itself

    Unfortunately, as self driving cars become more and more viable, we're going to run into a liability problem. Sure, the self driving cars can probably cut crashes and resulting deaths by some huge percent, but there will still be some that happen. Then, those crashes and deaths will be the responsibility of the car manufacturer who will get sued into oblivion.

  7. Sharing with Linux? by confusion · · Score: 5, Insightful · on Sun Considers dual-sourcing Solaris Under GPL3

    I thought Linux wasn't going to go for GPL3, so how exactly would that sharing work?

  8. This behavior is pretty common by confusion · · Score: 3, Informative · on RIM - The Whole Story

    I can tell you I've been at several places and NONE of them have really concerned themselves with infringing on others' patents. The common rebuttal is that "we have patents too, and I'm sure we can find them [other company] infringing on ours somehow. Hence, we can "strike a deal" if a problem ever comes up.
