Now, I admit I can't be bothered to actually read the patent, but does it describe the algorithms for the method? Or is it just like the linked picture? (Photograph->"magic box"->cartoon picture)
I surely hope not, because then the patent system is useless. But it also would mean that I could patent any input->magic box->output method I can dream of.
You wouldn't believe how much tracking is going on within a typical website. Even/. has some strange tracking service scorecardresearch.com. I'm not saying they are marketing scums of the earth, but their privacy policy doesn't say much. More 'mainstream' sites, e.g. huffingtonpost.com has no less than 11 3rd party tracking/login cookies.
(Hmm... scorecardresearch.com seems to be everywhere, btw)
I like it. Let's just find a good name... lets see.. we can mark up everything now... so I guess we keep the "ML" part. And content authors can create new and unknown tags, the traditional symbol for unknown is X.. I know, lets call it XML!
Instagram? Fucking multi-million dollar budget movies are using lens-flares and other crappy filters to annoy audience. (I'm looking at you, Mr. J. J. Abrams!!!)
Actually, this was discussed in my country when those fees where extended to CD/DVD media and drives. Technically, you should be able to go the local copyright holders office, prove that you use those disks only for your personally created content, and claim refund.
Not much money, but probably would send a strong message if enough people did it.

He's using PHP? I get the pitchforks!
Ok. This changes the original quite a bit. But I should be getting used to /. sensational writings by now... *sigh*
It's a shame that I don't have any mod points...

It's sad that it is news when corporation announces that they are going to treat their customer nicely...
Buy less junk to steal. Spend your money on 'experiences'. Travel, art, fun, whatever...
"Yeah, we need some way of milking our customers, so if you could write a law for us to do so, that would be great..:"

Of course you won't. Do you really think that the ruling elite would have their power undermined by some geeky "computer currency"? /finfoilhat off
This is getting more complex.
"Designed in California, manufactured in China, assembled in Texas, marketed in California, budgeted in New York...."
Care-o-meter: barely moving.
I'll just keep on using adblock, such a first world anarchist...
I got a Galaxy Nexus for half the price. Can't wait until next year to get this phone for half price too...
Because lobbyism.
Yes.
That sums it up nicely. A phone gets a new plastic shell. Now excuse me while I check the prices on Samsung Galaxy S II dual core phone...
