Two Strikes for Eolas Plug-In Patent
theodp writes "The USPTO has handed Microsoft a second victory in a dispute over a browser plug-in patent that could roil the Web if upheld, rejecting arguments by Eolas and the University of California that technologies cited as prior art by Microsoft and its W3C allies that persuaded the USPTO to open a reexam were irrelevant. Separately, Microsoft is attacking Eolas and the UC on a second front, asking the U.S. Court of Appeals to overturn a $565 million judgment, this time based on prior art that's completely different than that which it urged the USPTO to consider and the W3C to stand behind."
GNAA Announces Victory over Apple Community
..."
San Francisco, California - Just three days after being the first in
the world to leak photos of Apple's upcoming revision to MacOS X, version 10.4,
Steve Jobs announced to the world facts about the new Operating System
consistent with information leaked by elite GNAA operator Gary Niger and
prospective member Ron Delsner.
"We've pulled it off!", noted Niger during Jobs' announcement at Apple's
Worldwide Developers Conference. "The GNAA plan was clever from the start with
this one I think. When we received our leaked copy of the OS, we knew that by
releasing only partial information and some screenshots, the association people
would make with the GNAA would lead them to believe the screenshots were fake.
Now that Steve 'Rim' Jobs has verified everything we leaked, we have managed to
fool the entire Mac community. In essense, a few hundred thousand people have
been trolled, a few hundred thousand people have lost. Though I do wish they
have a nice day"
"I don't think it could have worked out any better; Every single one of the
features shown in our screenshots, particularly Dashboard, which everybody
called as fake, was demoed by Jobs. This is my revenge for being beat up on the
rent", quoted Ron Delsner on being approached by reporters. "I've been wanting
to join the Gay Nigger Association of America for quite some time, and knew
that I help pull off something big if they were to let me in."
Delsner was right, as upon hearing this, Gary Niger immediately produced a vial
of what he called the "Holy Gay Nigger Seed" from his front pocket, and asked
Ron to kneel, at which time the Seed was poured upon Ron's head, making him an
official member of the GNAA. Noticing the television cameras present in the
press room, Gary cited that this was in fact the first televised induction of a
member into the GNAA.
"But back to the troll", Niger said quickly after. "I had a sneaking suspicion
that the homosexual caucasians of the Mac community would feel threatened by
the GNAA's massive nigger cocks and immediately cast doubts upon any
screenshots we produced for them. I saw this as an opportunity to troll
hundreds of thousands of people. It just goes to show that GNAA is greater than
j00, and that fristage postage is mine."
And Niger certainly did not fail it, as can be seen from the following excerpts
taken from various Internet website's covering the leak:
ThinkSecret.com - "In fact, it was the source that led many users to call the
shots fake; the information in that story, as well as this one, was provided by
Gary Niger and Ron Delsner of the GNAA, an organization that deals in
crapfloods and Slashdot trolling."
AppleInsider.com - "Enjoy the photoshop work. I seriously don't think Apple
would be so crazy to use those jargons."
MacRumors.com - "Hmm... Information by "Gary Niger" of GNAA. Sounds too stupid
to be true. And that dashboard thing? Hogwash me thinks
MacRumors.com - "I immediately thought of them when I saw "GNAA". Anyone who
reads Slashdot would be familiar with them - they put big spam posts
everywhere. Yes, and it doesn't surprise me. I don't think the screenshots are
real (at least not the Dashboard ones), but I have no trouble believing the
PDF."
Kim Kap Sol on AppleInsider.com said "I can guarantee those are fake." He then
continued by saying "Hello I R Korea KEKEKEKE OMG ZERG RUSH GOGOGOGO ^_^"
Gary's reply to this was "Way to make a complete idiot of yourself you
dog-eating douchebag."
Steve Jobs was unavailable for comment immediately following the keynote
address, though WWDC attendee and GNAA member Porfa noticed "A cute wiggle in
Jobs' ass as he walked away."

What happened to http://www.bugmenot.com/? It appears to be dead, yet I have no idea why.
How come you indians can write english so well, but when I have a goddamn problem with my *insert component here* you are at a first graders comprehension level.
This is bullshit . . .
Any chance that Microsoft will submit a "doctored" videotape like they did in the antitrust suit, and then say "Sorry, that was the incorrect doctored videotape"?
And is there such a thing as a 'correct' doctored videotape?
