This article was a pretty convenient way to catch up on it.  Thanks.

It was awesome. Definitely worth playing.

I don't believe Mr. Sams was actually thinking users choosing one blizzard product over another was cause for concern. Having read the article, I'm under the assumption that he was making a joke.

Y'know... 

A lol. A funny. A 'Ha ha.'

Would this ruling affect any other pieces of software? I use Open Office on a regular basis. I wonder if that would fall under the same patent.

Upon looking at this chart, the thing I thought of first was this:

Not trying to draw any parralells, other than the simple fact that they are both kinda complex.

When web applications become equal-to-or-better-than traditional software, sure.

When a hulu-like service works well in a mobile device web browser, sure.

When javascript and html can compete with technologies like directx and openGL, sure.

When javascript and html can be used to create industry-standard video games, sure.

When developers become comfortable sending source, rather than compiled, code to end users, sure.

The top four will happen. The last one simply will not.

Is the Chinese government requiring this 'feature' to be on every computer, or just new ones? Is it going to be illegal to remove this software?

Just watched the video, then the rest of the ads. Pretty good stuff.

Can't vouch for the browser, though. Haven't had the chance to use it.

...in a grocery store. Some old Micheal Jackson song got started on their radio.

Her: I JUST LOVE THIS SONG! Don't you!!?

Me: I don't listen to this guy anymore.

Her: Why not?

Me: This guy's a child molester.

Her: No he isn't!

Me: I'm convinced he is. The door on the courtroom was a revolving door for celebrities. One could get away with almost anything under those circumstances.

Her: Well, he did that AFTER he made this song!

Me: For me, the fact that he did it killed my interest in earlier works.

Her: Well, y'know what? It's okay, because he's micheal jackson!

I had no response for it then. I have no response for it now. 

Billy Mays died recently, he's well known. Hell, he's likely been seen more times on TV than Micheal Jackson. And y'know what, I don't think he ever molested any kids!!!

I wanna play Battlefield Heroes in a blue shirt and Khakis.

I've been using Ubuntu for the last few years, and I'm not completely familiar as to how upgrades are handled on windows anymore. The fact that pre-orders for the upgrade's so cheap piques my interest, though.

I've got an old computer, running it's original OEM of windows XP. Would just having the product key from that install be enough to get the upgrade to install onto my current machine?
