POPSMicrosoft goes for the open source jugular Microsoft was starting to look like they'd changed their ways, like they were going to compete on the merits of their software, not on the premise of litigating everyone else out of business. The large majority of these patents have prior art and never should have been granted, others are common sense. This is a very offensive move from MS against a HUGE community of open source users, including you. Check out William Hurley's article about what the world would be like without open source software if you don't believe me. MS is grasping at straws here, and It's certainly not going to win them any PR.

POPSPatent law may be changing! I've long believed the US patent system to be broken, allowing "patent portfolio" companies to file for the simplest and most inane things and then sit on them while others actually innovate in a space. That said, I don't know if I'm behind the switch from first-to-invent to first-to-file. Could that cause an even bigger problem of people rushing to patent every little thing before someone else steals it out from under them? Lets hope the section on improving patent quality includes stricter checks for prior art and limits frivolous claims.

POPS"Do the robot", in the art of dance, of course. Last quote from him: "If you think about it, we are all made of mechanisms and neurones and codes and stuff. Human hardware and software. That's more fundamental to dance than characters and stories, isn't it?" Interesting

POPSMedia Monkey I've been using this thing since this morning and I liked it very much. Some very powerful features for maintaining database, editing tags and converting formats of the files (including .flac, .ogg). Best of all, it's free. ;)
