Microsoft Patents Operating System Shutdown

Microsoft describes this feature as “a user interface and scheme […] for facilitating shutting down an operating system. Aspects include the operating system receiving a command to initiate shut down, and automatically terminating graphical user interface (GUI) applications that delay shut down which do not have top level windows.”

The Works The Works was a CGI film set in a post-apocalyptic future where a super-intelligent computer network controls the planet. The story centers on the lives two robots, Clyde and T-Square, though an actual plot has never been clearly defined. Despite its potential for mind-numbing amounts of cheese, “The Works” would have set a technological milestone as the first fully 3D animated film in history, predating “Toy Story” by nearly a decade. The crew, comprised entirely of programmers and engineers, refused to hire directors or editors, and proceeded to routinely upgrade their systems to the best technology available at the time. But with every upgrade, the team had to relearn the software and start entirely from scratch. After years of struggle and delays, and with only a few minutes of footage to show for it, many of the top developers jumped ship to Lucasfilm leading to the company’s downfall. The movie was officially abandoned in 1986. via 15 Great Movies That Were Never Finished

Paul Allen Files Patent Suit Against Apple, Google, Others

Most of us here are not particularly big fans of the concept of patents. Most of us are aware of the significance of patents, we just believe the system has gone out of control and needs a serious kick in the butt. Well, it turns out not even the richest people on this earth are immune to the call of the patent troll. Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen has filed a massive patent lawsuit.

Using four extremely vague (and dare I say it, obvious) patents, the company is suing (breathe): Apple, Google, AOL, Facebook, ebay, Netflix, Office Depot, OfficeMax, Staples, Yahoo, and YouTube. Ominously missing are Microsoft and Amazon.

Spór o nowoczesną Polskę
