Cake

And then the dumb take the cake you’ve so carefully baked and kept safe. All your love went into it, and your innovation and that smart recipe your mother taught you and now it’s gone, to be eaten by someone you don’t know. Awww. I so liked my cake.

If you’re too lazy to read Jeffrey’s post, see the news: an indeed rather obscure web shop has the patents to most rich media on the internet. No matter how little they have to do with any of the media the patent refers to, they do. Is that a flaw in the laws or really a sensible application? I hope People With The Knowledge can tell me more about it.

(Pardon the cake analogy that didn’t work out too well. I just really like cake.)

Texty

I’ve been told Dean likes Brad Pitt. That’s okay though. He’s a good guy overall. I also said hi to someone I knew I’d seen before or at least had heard about in some way. Hiram, we should discuss this poetry thing one day.

Oh, and just for the record, I also enjoyed the presence and talk of Maarten, Marten, Sander, Jan Willem, Kees, Alexandra, Anne and Mark. Of course I did. We should do this more often.

Bill’s Last Chance

Matt might be onto something here. I can’t agree more, but he forgets one point that might weaken the opposition. Microsoft still has the biggest market share in PCs. With that almost-monopoly, I think it’s hard to even scratch MS’s power, as they can change a lot. But yes, he’s pretty right, Microsoft is, again, late to the game. It’s just the question how they will try to win the market this time.
