Sendo Accuses MS of Stealing Smartphone IP
Nate B. writes "According this article in The Inquirer, it seems that Sendo, a UK based development house, has filed suit in Texas as of December 23 to recoup monetary damages for IP it claims Microsoft stole. From the article, 'The company's grievance is that after years of working closely with Microsoft on the development of Windows Smartphone 2002, the fruits of their endeavours were handed straight over to HTC, which manufactures the SPV handset for Orange.' The story also includes this cute footnote, 'When Sendo announced it was to receive funding from Microsoft, I and some other British journalists asked Sendo's Hugh Brogan at the press briefing, in the London Waldorf, whether he wasn't afraid that the company might just take its information and then dump his firm. He claimed then there was no possibility of that.'" Seems there was more to this story than originally thought.
And last.
Happy new year, zealots.

I guess you should stay and dance with the girl you brought to the prom!
Yet another MS sucks article.
Its Boxing Day, your supposed to still be merry and love everyone.
Nero-burning ROM for Linux!
Is the sexiest lady alive. I would love to touch her sexy pantyhosed legs.
wait for 2.4.21 if our using USB, otherwise 2.4.19 is good. check out the change logs to see if there are any issues.
I would suggest the CK patchset for the 2.4 series.
or maybe 2.6.3-4 (I expect any incompatabilitys in common software will have been resolved by then and any binary drivers will have been updated)
I hope that was your question?
thank God the internet isn't a human right.
hot steaming diarrhea is flowing down my legs staing my tanned khakis. What am I to do? Oh no the smell is horrendous and my boss just called me into his office.
It's News for Nerds...not Uptodate News for Nerds...jeez *grins*
Anyone else think this might be the make-or-break for the clickthrough EULA?
IANAL, YMMV, etcetc.
Love everyone on "Boxing Day"....?
I thought it was "International Beat The Shit Out Of Everyone You See" day....
Oops...Oh well, looks like all my Cow-Orkers got their birthday spankings a little early this year....and in the face.
CmdrTaco sodomizes YOU
Remember the scorpion from the chinese fable?
Now, Id like you to consider Mono under this new light...
(Anyway, I think doing Mono *is* valid: a) just for the fun and b) probably we opensource more poisonous than the "scorpion" itself).
Boy some Moderator woke up in a cranky mood today when you get +1 troll for slamming Microsoft over their business practices. Go ahead, mod me down some more, I have Karma to burn.
I had the luck to have an eccentric grandfather. He loved technolgy, and inventing. In 1983 he bought a bit of MSFT shares for me. Do the math. As a stockholder, I could care less if they were stomping kittens, I make money.
If we don't fight for ourselves no one will.
..but we've got all the food!
