Beware the patent trolls.

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

I was listening to this week’s TWIT when I heard a comment from Leo Leoporte regarding some guy that had a patent out for “episodic content.” I couldn’t believe my eyes when I found this to be true. Apparently this is “old news,” but hey, I’m about to get married, had a bit of drama last year, so I guess some news fell through the cracks. This, however, should have caught my eye. And for those of you who don’t know, I thought I’d reinvigorate the conversation once again. I had always known there to be a reason why Apple didn’t push magazine subscriptions through its store front. Now I know why.

Windows 7 Upgrade Report

So Windows is basically telling me I have to upgrade my machine to have a new OS. Doesn’t that defeat the point of upgrading software when your software is telling you that you have to upgrade your hardware?  Jeez.

Windows error at Cowboys Stadium!

Wednesday, September 9th, 2009

I just love ARS Technica. They have reported on serious issues such as the NSA Carnivore program (not to be confused with wiretapping which is totally different), serious Windows flaws, and now Windows flaws at…you guessed it…Cowboys stadium!!! Read the link here.

I would just love to see Jerry Jones when he wakes up to such an IT embarrassment. Well…He just may not even care, but an embarrassment none the less.  I just love it.  The more advanced of  a society we become, the more fucked up the issues get.  I guess it goes to show that you just can’t hire enough smart people in IT.
