Microsoft is a bastard and here is why:
" Computer firm Apple may have to pay Microsoft £6 for each iPod it sells after a huge licensing lapse.
Lawyers at Bill Gates' firm filed a patent for technology behind the hugely successful digital music player two months before Apple.
The US Patent Office has ruled that Microsoft has the right to charge competitors a licence fee for each iPod sold.
Furious, Apple has said it will appeal the decision but at the moment it looks as though the firm will be paying a high price for the success of its product. "
wow.
As a side note, work today has been interesting and they finished building the new dining center place and refinishing it and it opened today and wow. Awesome. Thats all I have to say.
