IBM Ditches Outsourcing Patent
Xenographic writes "IBM has dropped their controversial outsourcing patent, both withdrawing the application and placing it into the public domain. Apparently, it was filed eight months before they implemented more stringent reviews of their patent applications so as to avoid filing for obvious patents, especially business method patents. The notice also says that they would like to thank the community for bringing it to their attention."

Apple also borked my new iPhone on-purpose, simply because they detected I had tried (unsuccessfully) to unlock it. They've crossed over into some of the most evil practices I've seen, outdoing even the worst from M$. I must admit I enjoyed smashing the thing to pieces in front of the "Genius" at the Apple store.
