Yeah, we probably should.
Then again, this patent sounds awfully similar to the interval ones, so we might
have done the work for them already.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

M$FT has been attacking Android and Linux with bogus patents
for a long time. It is good to see them get a taste of their
own medicine. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Parent suggests in order
"to be fair and balanced -
should ws start a prior art seach using crowd sourcing
to help MS out on this?"
When MS starts being fair and balanced, then and only
then will I consider doing anything to help MS out.
Except for destroying themselves. I will gladly help
MS destroy themselves at any time, just let me know
how I can help with THAT.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Could be the reason why Surfcast has no product, and why MS
is not really
counting on tiles saving the world.

I still maintain all software patents shouldn't be in the first
place!
So yea... from such a perspective finding a way to invalidate the
patents would be appropriate.

Not that I'd ever consider a software patent worth anything (even less this
one). But MS has an history of meeting companies with patents, negotiating a
license, not paying and selling the exact same invention anyway.
They've bankrupt quite a few companies this way already, and made others lose
time to market so MS would launch first.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I have a great idea for helping them out:
Lets provide them with all the evidence that software patents are invalid, so
they can use that as a defence.
Oh, wait, we already did that. Moving along then.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
