  • When will the NFL Network standoff end?

    Like so many others , I was furious when I couldn't watch the Packers-Cowboys games a few weeks back. The NFL Network is only carried on satellite which is simply not an option for many of us in urban areas like NYC. For those who haven't been paying attention, there's been a long-running...

  • Licensing the Office 2007 UI - what is Microsoft's IP strategy?

    Jensen Harris announced that the Office 2007 Ribbon UI can be licensed . For the last year or so, one of the questions I've been asked again and again has been: "Can I use the new Office user interface in my own product?" I have to be honest - I'm a bit baffled at this whole thing. Note, they are not...

  • Gartner sends a cease and desist to remove a link

The technology, from DRM...

  • A quick rant on H1-B Visas

    On a related note, I agree with Faisal's criticism of Wally's H1-B rant . I don't purport to be an expert here (quite the opposite), but we need to remember that outsourcing is different than the work visa issue. In the former, work is exported from the country because those in places like India or Brazil...

  • Absurd Legal Fees?

    Microsoft gets a bill for $258M for legal fees. Read more here . I haven't seen anyone discuss this on the “blawgs” yet, but I am interested to hear what they say. Sure seems a bit excessive to me... What gets me most is the $1,000 an hour for “administrative work” (which I presume...
