Yes, in the article they said that they haven't yet worked out a way to make the blanket itself invisible. Heck, I have a quilt that my grandmother made me that will make me disappear. If only I could somehow make the quilt invisible itself. Maybe I should post an article and submit it to slashdot...
This patent was filed in September 5, 2003. Here are just a few of the Microsoft products that used this methodology before the patent was filed:
Windows 95
Windows NT 4.0 (Workstation)
Windows NT 4.0 (Server)
Windows 98
Windows ME
Windows 2000 (all versions)
Windows XP (all versions)
Office 95
Office 97
Office 2000
Office XP
That's not even mentioning the plethora of other Microsoft products for the PC and Mac that used unique IDs. Anything that came with a certificate of authenticity had its own unique number. Microsoft obviously has prior use, and this is a clear case of a computer-illiterate uneducated jury making poor decisions. Surely this will be overturned on appeal.
When you have hundreds of thousands of computers, you install Windows on one machine... authenticate it, install any software you're going to be using, then create an image that you put on the other 99,999 machines. If you think corporations install Windows by hand on hundreds of thousands of computers, you're sorely mistaken.
Among them: Dell = $1 million annually plus matching up to $1 million in employee donations Intel = $1 million annually plus matching up to $1 million in employee donations
How much money have you given to charitable organizations this year? Was it even $5???
Did you read the article? Internet Explorer will most definitely not be removed from the Operating System. IE6 will still play the same roll it always has with the file system. Adding a new version of a browser that will run concurrently (IE6 with IE7) has nothing to do with removing IE from the OS... They're just not adding IE7 to the OS for file management.
Forget viruses... I'm more concerned with software bugs. You think the Pentium Pro floating point errors were bad? Try developing a nervous twitch or not being able to walk because of some software engineer's typo...
Well, duh! In other news, Coke to compete with Pepsi!!! Stay tuned to Slashdot where, after these brief messages from the OSDN ad network, we'll discuss how Gillette's next product will be competing with Schick!:-P
Contrary to popular belief, Google isn't an up-to-the-second archive of the Internet. It takes a while for new things to get added to their results. Don't believe me? Go the the front page of any news site and look for a breaking news item. Then search for that specific item via Google (even using site:cnn.com if you wish.) You're not going to find it.
Anyway, as many times as Ceragenins has been mentioned on the high modded comments here, expect it to show up in the near future on Google (even if it's only to this article's page.)
BTW, I'm getting 20 google hits for Ceragenins, and I'm sure that number will only go up.
One of the major reasons that the standard mouse caught on is that a 2-year old child can understand the concept of reaching out and grabbing something. The traditional mouse layout mimics this behavior. This 90-degree rotated mouse is counter-intuitive to reaching out and grabbing...
Long story short, you might like using this mouse but don't count on it ever replacing the current "horizontal" mouse for standard users.
For two customers with the same name and address to be automatically merged in our system, their social security numbers must only differ by one digit (indicating a typo.) The chances of that man and his nephew having SSNs that are off by that amount are astronomical... it just wouldn't happen here.
Another vulnerability described by Archibald could allow memory corruption and hand control of a process over to an attacker: "At the time of writing, the vulnerability remains unpatched. However Apple is aware it exists."
Of course, you might have actually read that part and part of your subconscious dismissed it as false. Reminds me of this post from yesterday.
How did this guy's post get modded redundant? It's one of the very first posts to the story. Sometimes I don't know about the people that get mod points...

Crap man... do you have any grasp at all of the English language? Can someone translate the blurb into English for us non-Timothy speakers?

I'm a QA employee at a very large bank.

I agree... if a 16 year old flips out and kills a bunch of people, they don't give the parents the electric chair. They try the kid as an adult.

Let me see if I get this right... It's a Bad Thing (tm) when Microsoft does it, but Google should get away with it, because everyone else is?
Don't be greedy. There are plenty of us out here that would be more than willing to give them twice what they're currently making a year....
For the two of you out there that haven't seen it, he's talking about a scene from Independence Day.
