In a paper published by a panel of three judges, the Court of Appeals said "The district court found that Microsoft captured 80 percent of the custom XML market with its infringing Word products, forcing i4i to change its business strategy." The court documents go on to state that "after its effective date, the injunction prohibits Microsoft from selling, offering to sell, importing, or using copies of Word with the infringing custom XML editor." This injunction was originally handed down in the August 12 verdict, but was stayed upon appeal by Microsoft. It is now slated to take effect Jan 11. Ironically, the i4i website openly promotes Microsoft Word's support of custom XML.
A federal appellate court may have the last word today, regarding Microsoft Word 2007. The United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit upheld a ruling dating back to August 12, 2009. The ruling concerned a lawsuit by small Toronto-based software developer i4i, who claimed industry giant Microsoft violated its 1998 patent (No. 5,787,449) on a method for reading XML. The ruling prohibits Microsoft from selling any more copies of Word 2007 with custom XML functionality, and also requires the company to pay $290 million to i4i.
Just the other day I was thinking how I wished my friends and marketing specialists had an easier way to stalk me online! Twitter to the rescue! The site announced yesterday that it will soon give users the option of publishing their location along with their post.
I was laughing along to John Stewart this morning, over my coffee and a bagel, when what does he bring up but social networking. And whooooo, you might ask, has joined this online phenomenon now? Why none other than the former Bush administration.
There is some really amazing photography being done with scanning electron microscopes, or SEMs, these days. And I’m not talking about those grainy monochromatic pictures you remember from high school biology.
Have you ever gone somewhere and noticed video cameras and think, "I hope I wasn't doing something stupid." I'm not talking about the ones in WalMart; those are totally fake (hey, don't come crying to me if you get caught). I'm talking about Big Brother, that horrible movie Eagle Eye, and photo software created to identify your face. Yea, that's right, there's a new service that can actually recognize you as an individual. Be afraid!
