I had a glance around ShopCity's site; it's cluttered and a lot to read through
if you just want to find a local place to do X (the purported use of the site).
Now, in theory, that's a good idea - but the execution is poor (I got better
results for my search query by taking it to Google and putting in "type of
shop" "suburb name"; this may have to do with my not being in
America, a lot of sites have poor databases in my part of the world) and it's
got all sorts of neat little UI tweaks that look very neat without actually
saying anything (in other words, wastes of bandwidth). It's also not all that
simple to navigate.
I visited Twenga as well. I still have no idea what that site's supposed to be.
AdMarketPlace didn't display the video properly (I don't have flash installed)
and since I don't run ads either, I wasn't particularly interested.
FairSearch was really the biggest disappointment in the whole thing. It's a
Google-bashing blog thinly disguised as a search engine, which would have been
one thing if the search engine part actually bothered to search anything outside
the FairSearch site. Since it only searches itself, though, it's useless as a
search engine (I am not particularly interested in anything I saw on the site).[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

UEFI - Boot (is this so companies can not switch to Google
Chrome OS quickly)?
From what I have seen of Google Chrome OS so far, is that it
is far easier (and cheaper) to admin a huge number of
machines in an enterprise than anything Microsoft has made
complex to do (MS needs complex so folks have to pay for
their many layers of licenses along the way).
By having UEFI - Boot then, if hardware would not be
compatible, then a quick switch over, would require buying
new hardware (a financial hurdle to switching to any other
option).[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Sounds more like a innovation disincentive program, and a treble damages trap
for application makers, than a legal defence method, to me.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

And the patent office issued a patent for that?
It is the USPTO that is causing this mess (in part) by
issuing the most insane patents, on OBVIOUS stuff that has
more prior art than you can shake a stick at.
I'll bet that if we piled up the bogus insane patents that
the USPTO has issued, that we would not need rockets for
space travel we would just clamor up the pile into space.

If only the rest of the smart-phone patent cases could go the way of this order.
Neither party could prove actual damages resulting from the patent, so there is
not actual dispute, case dismissed.
Any possibility the judge watched
Google/Oracle and decided he wasn't going to waste his court's time on patents
on small parts of the phone experience, and found a nice way of wrapping up the
case in front of him? It will make it harder to get companies to agree that
injunctions aren't necessary. But, I can't see judges granting injunctions when
no one can prove any monetary damages. If only the ITC would stop granting
injunctions on software patents, and make them duke it out in Federal Court. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Microsoft buys Ubuntu, in a way - www.phoronix.com/sca
n.php%3fpage=news_item&px=MTExNTU
Canonical is promoting
today its new partnership with Microsoft that allows Ubuntu Linux to run on
Windows Azure.
So, suicidal Canonical will go the same
way as Nokia? Down, down, down?

Wow, PJ's right, that's a beyond-fascinating presentation.
It gets to be the Very
First Video played through my Roku's connection to Vimeo.
I'm not sure what
was better: the philosophical part (how should we think about things), the
history (how we got to think the way we do) or the technology.
I definitely
want that technology. It's got "Sorting out Sorting", SPICE and rapid design
all in one handy box.
And I definitely agree with him about making sure
ideas don't get lost. That's what I like my role to be: I run the
infrastructure plant so that the creative folks can do their creative bit. Be
it code, music, animation, graphics, stories, whatever.
