Microsoft Sued Over Patent Infringements

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the at-it-again dept.

Foobar of Borg writes "The Associated Press is reporting that Microsoft is being sued over alleged infringement of three patents held by Visto Corporation. The patents in question relate to the handling of information between servers and handheld telcom devices. Jack Evans, a Microsoft spokesman, has not commented on the case itself, but has simply stated that 'Microsoft stands behind its products and respects intellectual property rights.'"

  1. When will... by Kranfer · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I saw this article on space.com a few days ago. Now that we are able to spot white dwarf stars that are the size of earth in Detail, I am hoping that SOON we will be able to directly observe rocky worlds that are the size of this planet. While the hubble is a small telescope, it would be interesting to see telescopes put into space that are say... the size of Subaru Telescope on Mauna Kea (I was there a few weeks ago, the observatories are ... well... awesome!).

    Anyway, with knowing that there are over 100 star systems out there with planets that we have found, I hope we find something much like our own soon. I know they exist, we can't be it...
