More Microsoft Patents

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the because-they-can dept.

An anonymous reader writes "One of the editors of LinuxWorld Magazine has an entry in his blog detailing more patents that Microsoft recently acquired. No, this isn't a rehash of the sudo patent. The new patents include one that seems to patent the use of the keyboard to navigate a web page! See the article here."

    I'd tell you the chances of this story being a dupe, but you wouldn't like it.
  2. Do they outsource to India ? by Gopal.V · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Ok, I'm an Indian working in India .... but I see the "average quality" of software coolies are very very poor ...

    Btw, Microsoft does outsource to India (thank god, Berne convention doesn't apply for patents).
