So is this why MS does not bundle a DVD / MP2 player with windoz? (with WinXP you need to download the DVD player / codec from a 3rd party).
It is not clear if this patent covers a particular decoding scheme (in which case, MS could simply change their software to a different scheme), or does it cover ALL DVD players?
I have some Cingular 'KIC' GSM prepayed phones (the kind you buy minutes for when they run out or every few months). The Cingular prepaid GSM phones seem to work the same as hundreds of millions of prepaid GSM phones in Europe and Asia (turkcell etc). Do these patents really apply to prepaid GSM service, or just to older TDMA or CDMS services?

OK, so I'm not a physicist or a geographer, but... don't these things had to be positioned at (or near) to the equator (like a geo-synchronous satellite)? Otherwise they would sway and stretch because the orbit would not match the ground.
I've been testing the nightly builds for Mozilla 1.3 on RedHat 8 and Windoz and they have made some significant performance improvements. I think Mozilla will be ready for the mainstream pretty soon.
