Kodak Wins $1 Billion Java Lawsuit
nberardi writes "The Rochester Democrat & Chronicle is reporting that Eastman Kodak Company has just won a patent suit against Sun on the Java Language. According to the article Kodak owns a patent which describes a way for a piece of software to "ask for help" from another application. What they are claiming is that Sun violates this patent when Java byte code uses the Java engine to run the code. This may really upset the industry, because not only Sun uses this technology for Java but Microsoft uses this technology in .Net."
I do not welcome this.
I, for one, welcome our new photo imaging overlords.

That's one of the good things the EU did, ban GMO-food. Unfortunately the USA convinced the WTO to rule against the ban, but as it turns out, the consumers here in Europe don't want the Monsanto-stuff. This aversion to GMO-food doesn't primarily have to do with patents though. But the USA-pressure does drive 3rd world countries into the power of multinationals (in general USA-multinationals). For the EU-parliament members it's clear that the patents of Monsanto do more harm then good.
By the way, I think its cool you are learning welsh. Im Welsh, borne in Haverford West with my fathers side of the family dating back to the late Roman times, but due to my upbringing Ive never learnt welsh or really all that much of our history.
