Slashdot Mirror
Apple Patented by Microsoft
An anonymous reader writes "C|net is reporting that Microsoft received a patent on Tuesday for a new variety of apple tree. U.S. Plant Patent 14,757, granted to Robert Burchinal of East Wenatchee, Wash., and assigned to Microsoft, covers a new type of tree discovered in the early 1990s in the Wenatchee area, a major commercial apple-growing region. Dubbed the 'Burchinal Red Delicious,' the tree is notable for producing fruit that achieves a deep red color significantly earlier than other varieties. It is sold commercially as the 'Adams Apple.'" Apparently, the assignation of the patent to Microsoft was an error. Or so they would have us believe ...
What in hell is wrong with this site? Why in the world would this ever be posted as news? Is this site so blatently anti-Microsoft that when a stupid patent is accidently falsely attribtued to Microsoft it's worthy of a fucking news story? You don't honesty think stupid shit like this happens all the time? Oh no, some asshole in the patent office made a mistake, hurry, let's post a fucking story on Slashdot!
Mod me down all you want. This is totally fucking stupid. No wonder Slashdot is quickly becoming a fucking laughing stock. What a waste of time. You people and your anti-Microsoft, anti-Goverment, left wing bull shit! What a fucking crock. Who exactly do you think owns Slashdot anyway, huh? You're just as beholden to corporations as people who buy Windows. You fucking dolts just don't realize it. Take a quick look into who owns and funds this site if you think your shit doesn't stink. Trust me, if they ever found themselves in the position Microsoft was in, they would do exactly what Microsoft has done.
You fucking sheep make me laugh out loud. Say what you will about me, at least I know who and what I support. You fucking idoits are working for the man just like I am, the differnce being I know what I'm doing and you idoits think your on some crusade against "the man". Well I've got news for you tools, we both serve the same master. The differnce being I have no delusions about what I'm doing and you peope think your movement is the second coming. You delude yourselves.
