SAN JOSE, Calif. - Visto Corp., a maker of mobile e-mail technology, has sued Microsoft Corp. for allegedly infringing on three of its patents related to how information is handled between servers and handheld devices such as cellular phones.

The lawsuit, which seeks unspecified monetary damages and a permanent injunction to stop the infringement, was filed late Wednesday

a poem by my computer, Macintosh Vigilante
Macintosh amends a damned around the requested typewriter. Macintosh urges a scarce design. Macintosh postulates an autobiography. Macintosh tolls the solo variant. Why does a winter audience delay macintosh? The maker tosses macintosh. Beneath female suffers a double scum. How will a rat cube the heavier cricket? Macintosh calls a method. Can macintosh nest opposite the headache? Macintosh ties the wrong fairy. When can macintosh stem the land gang? Female aborts underneath macintosh. Inside macintosh waffles female. Next to macintosh worries a well.

Unfortunately, this smells more and more like SCO: The Empire Strikes Back.  I don't suppose that BlackBerry held "PRIOR ART" by any stretch of the imagination?

Operating System Advocacy. I've given up on the Microsuck project, as well as any of the minisite spinoffs. You can still view the new beta site, though!

I hope the whole thing falls through and Visto gets fucked. If they win, it's just another nail in the coffin of the patent.

Since nobody else will...

Darl McBride: If you only knew the power of the Dark Side. Stallman never told you what happened to your father.
Linus Torvalds: He told me enough. He told me you killed him.
Darl: No. I am your father.
Linus: No. No. It's not true. That's impossible!
Darl: Search your feelings. You know it to be true.
Linus: No. NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

I'm often asked why I hate Microsoft - "What did they ever do to you?". Well, I'll tell you. They made dodgy programs and standards which have wasted hundreds of hours of my time involving lost work in crashes and stupidity.
