I remember when I first played Mario64. Sure, I loved the old donkey kong, mario bros., super mario bros. for the nes, etc...
Mario64 was the first game that I played where I exclaimed "This is what games should be like".
The MS patent is a little more involved than just a "tarball". It does comparisons to a database on the internet. However, this sounds exactly like patch managers written by IBM for AIX and Sun for Solaris. And set aside the MS bashing for a moment. This patent shows that IBM, Samsung, and Apple all have patents for similar processes.
I've seen and heard very many comments to the effect of "I dont care if they have slave labor, if amazon is cheaper, I'll buy from them". I wonder how many of these people who arent concerned with Amazon's business practices are the same people who throw up their arms, pout, and cry about Microsoft's business practices.
