Microsoft doesn't hold the patent, they have an earlier patent filing but the patent has not been granted. Microsoft does not have the right to charge Apple a licence fee for each iPod sold.
The US Patent Office has ruled that Microsoft has the right to charge competitors a licence fee for each iPod sold.
I know there was a denial of a patent but when did the Patent Office say Apple needs to pay a license fee? Sounds like crappy reporting using speculation rather than facts.
"Yea, but can those cars only drive on 5% of the roads in the land?"
I thought the 5% represents the Mac's market share. That is a messed up analogy.
How does market share limit how I use my Mac? I can surf the web, play music, check emails, use a spreadsheet, send IMs - pretty much the same stuff as a Windows or Linux user.

How do you game the system in D&D? Shaved dice? Counterfeit hit charts?
Also, a 1 percent tax eventually becomes a 2 percent tax eventually becomes a 3 percent tax eventually becomes a 4 percent tax eventually becomes a 5 percent tax.........

Thanks for the great tip! Works much better than running it over with an aeroplane.
I am waiting for someone to tell me that these iBooks are overpriced and they can get a Dell laptop for $40.

That's like someone patenting the George Foreman grill after buying it on a home shopping channel.

Have you seen pictures from his King Kong blog? The man is wasting away!
There is also a book by the eye doctor named William Bates...
As a prosperous young man, Dr. Bates was referred by his staff as Master Bates.

We can combine two crappy Stallone movies into a single sequal. Judge Dredd meets Over The Top.
Brings up a good question. Does it come with an FM tuner?
Actually iPods start at $199 if you want a display. The iPod also has 4 gigs vs. Sony's 1 gig.
Or, get a Sony flash player with a screen for half the cost of an iPod. Or is that forbidden?
Article reads:The 1Gb model will still cost £200 compared to Apple's iPod Shuffle at £99.
Using that Bush "Social Security" math?
