Microsoft Can’t Sell Word to Anyone now!

Posted on August 12, 2009 by Monik

In a case, the judge in texas rules out the Microsoft cannot sell Word in United States due to patent infringement. Well this is quite shocking but it is true. Why? To know just read on.

The judge said that the order prohibits Microsoft from selling or importing to the United States any Microsoft Word products that have the capability of opening .XML, .DOCX or DOCM files (XML files) containing custom XML.

In the complaint i4i accused Microsoft on a method for reading XML.

The injunction, which becomes effective in 60 days, prohibits Microsoft from selling future Word products that allegedly use the patented technology. It also enjoins Microsoft from testing, demonstrating, marketing or offering support for those future products.

Microsoft also has to pay $290 Million as damages! lol. Microsoft isn’t prepared for it, surely.

We are disappointed by the court’s ruling, We believe the evidence clearly demonstrated that we do not infringe and that the i4i patent is invalid. We will appeal the verdict.

- Said a Microsoft Spokesperson.

Microsoft doesn’t seem in a mood to take that likely. It is surely going to kick it off and on the next hearing i think Microsoft will surely make it.

How much ever you try Microsoft, you’ll fail : Hackers win against software giant

Posted on August 8, 2009 by Monik

It’s not long time since Windows 7 RTM had been announced. But now if you check out popular torrent websites, you will already find the Cracked Version of Windows 7 Ultimate RTM there!

The Hackers somehow managed to steal OEM disc of Windows 7 which was originally meant for Lenovo. Easy Task. Now came the cracking part. It was the same as it was while cracking up Windows Vista. Activation key was murmured from the Disc itself.

But there’s a twist there. The hackers had to change some Hardware settings to make the crack work on their PC. This is the first time something like this has happened. And i think it’s good, Microsoft is working towards stopping piracy but better luck next time, you loose Microsoft!

Posted on July 27, 2009 by Monik

The Blogosphere is hot with Rumors Buzzing in from all corners. All top blogs like TechCrunch, Mashable and Engadget are blogging about this. And now it’s Financial Time’s Which has added on to the rumors!

According to Financial Times Apple seems to be in a deal with Four largest record labels which aim to increase Digital Album sales and Apple aim’s to increase iTunes sales. And to achieve this Apple is supposed to be launching a new Tablet. The Tablet is supposed to more like a iPod touch than a iPhone.

Phone features may-be available. The screen size would be around 10 inch with touch features and it is supposed to be shipping around Christmas Festival. It is supposed to be more like a iPod touch with Wireless features same as iPod touch, downloading via iTunes.

Companies like EMI, Sony Music, Warner Music have signed up with Apple to bang up the Digital Music Market. Apple seems to have stepping in a market where most of the Companies have failed including Microsoft and this project has been named “CockTail”. Sounds funny, but yes that may be the name!

Apple has revolutionized the way we share and listen to music with it’s products, iPod and iTunes. This may be the next hit. Many Experts say that Apple’s Tablet may be the perfect killer for Amazon’s Kindle.

What makes me wonder if that these rumors aren’t true then will it actually inspire Apple to make something like this? Seems so!

Tsera going to sure nearly every damn company on Earth which has a touchpad

Posted on July 19, 2009 by Monik

I think this is going to be very interesting. Tsera claims that it owns the Touchpad and is all set to sue companies like Apple, Microsoft, LG, Philips, Bang & Olufsen, iriver, Coby, Cowon for copying its technology.

The Patent has been named “Methods and apparatus for controlling a portable electronic device using a touchpad”. Well it’s practically impossible for Tsera to sue each and every company so it’s pretty obvious that this case won’t be solved in the court atleast.

Tsera said that other companies failed to pay money for using it’s technology. Well let’s see what happens!

Thanks Engadget.
