This is a good example of what may happen to drop.io. Friendfeed has a push service for content that got Facebook into all their competitors, and I thought it was bought to be a great Trojan Horse. Wrong. They bought the team and have since done nothing with the site. The Friendfeed team, however, has completely changed the Facebook APIs. They moved off Facebook's pseudo-RESTful protocols, which were a pain to use and a ham-handed way to do authentication, to Oauth, which is easy and offers more granular security for Facebook users. I believe they also came up with the Like idea.
Highly improbable, statistically, his conclusions just don't square with me. I figure that his probability of being correct is inversely proportional to the ratio of conclusions drawn from assumptions made.
A mother in New York has successfully sued her newborn for failing to properly aligning himself for natural delivery, forcing a cesarean section. While compensatory damages are only $14,789, the woman is seeking $2,000,000 in putative damages for a future the humiliation at her spa and Bermuda resort. The baby has counter sued the mother for failing her lamaze class, seeking damages for in proper immunization from failure to emerge through the birth canal. More at 11..
Next, sperm sued for infertility!
There are no incentives as powerful as the lustful greed for controlling the future of humanity and the apocalyptic fear that someone might succeed. A patent is the only thing that enables both incentives in an easy-to-use online application. True, they are only good for 20 years and it now takes up to eight years to get one issued. Still, should we deny ourselves the possibility of total global control of humanity, creation of gods and monsters, and guaranteed employment for patent agents, lawyers, and biotech megalomaniacs? After all, unemployment is 10%!
Today IBM, which will be 100 in June, has a greater market share and more dominant role in the mainframe market than it ever did. Great margins, too. If this is Microsoft's fate, then they are far from dead.
. . . is there are so many to choose from. If I were running on of these money machines, I would call my data service 100G. I would say "we are so many Gs above the rest that your messages will get there BEFORE you send them." That is called puffing and is perfectly legal. I would advertise hot babes and sexy guys 100Ging all over the place, telling the world that 100Ging is like sexting but feels like real sex. I would leave the ITU, IETF, and IEEE to my standards body representatives, who like to travel all over the world, stay at nice hotels, eat at fine restaurants, sightsee, and get our latest patents turned into the next set of standards.
Where else could I have learned both the managerial skills to organize a toga party AND the technical skill to tap a keg, keeping foam to an absolute minimum? Did I mention that I got laid, too? Wiki that!
Art is suppose to be something governments try to suppress, which gives it more, pardon my french, séduire. Having the government approve your art is like having your mother approve your sexual technique.
. . . is that the implementations are not completely vetted. This was a problem with Windows Mobile 5.x and 6.x. Some OEMs did not implement everything (e.g., DirectShow), and apps that used certain hardware such as the camera would unpredictably fail. It is one thing to have a bug in your app and quite another to have a bug in the platform your app depends upon. Until you determine for certain that it is not your fault, a.k.a. proving the negative, you catch all the flack. Good luck with that.
Since almost every word in the English language can be used in some sexual reference, I suppose this patent just blocks all text. For example, "I want to go logging up your canyon until you landslide all over my boulders." Now, that is not even cleaver, and I am sure that anyone who really can write will suggest prose that make my slight example seem corny. The point is that such censorship is futile and moronic. However, it does get a lot of press...

If you get hit by lightning, does your brain get erased? Hardly a flash of genius.
Yeah, and IE10 has ZERO market share, too. People aren't even talking about IE11. Bunch of losers.

If they are using IPv6, the MAC is part of the network address.
I did and found it to be particularly interesting.

Good health and a bad memory.
Java recently eclipsed Flash, http://arstechnica.com/business/news/2010/10/microsoft-sees-unprecedented-wave-of-java-malware-exploits.ars. If I were an OS vendor, I would consider eliminating these unmanageable platforms that do more to commoditize the platform than add value to my product. Let'em move to Linux. This isn't the second millennium anymore.

"We're doomed!" Ever since, it has been true for each of us. As they say, "nobody gets out alive."
The peril of an abstraction.
Some of it is stronger that other. As far as I know there are only a few examples of spider textiles -- http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2009/09/spider-silk/.

Then this would rejected and their mothers would be sued.
No, but let's not even go there.

Dogs tend to reflect the personality of their owners.
This happens every time they try to dust the relays on their Mark-I. They forget to oil the camshaft, too.
