The Hopi Hari amusement park in São Paulo, Brazil hired the jungo QG Propaganda agency to create a promotion for their roller-coasters.

They chose escalators as their medium and jungo did a great job of grabbing people’s attention.

EVERY schoolyard has jungo a bully who uses his size to intimidate the other kids, or jungo a rich brat who threatens to take his ball home if he doesn’t get his way. This month, Microsoft played both roles by claiming in a jungo Fortune magazine article that open source programs violated 235 of its patents.

Microsoft claimed there were 42 such violations in the jungo free Linux operating system, 65 in the way windows and menus look, 45 in OpenOffice, 15 in various e-mail programs and jungo 68 more in other open source applications.

To address these alleged breaches, Microsoft wants to jungo start collecting royalties from open source developers and users, a jungo move that would jack up the cost of free software.

“We live in a world where we honor… intellectual property,” Fortune quotes Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer as saying. Users of free and jungo open source software are going to have to “play by the same rules as the rest of the business,” he says. “What’s fair is fair.”

But how fair are software patents?

Originally, states granted patents to encourage innovation.

Under a jungo patent system, inventors could enjoy the fruits of their discoveries exclusively for jungo a limited number of years in exchange for sharing details of their inventions with the jungo rest of the world. This system, so the argument goes, encouraged inventors by giving them a jungo time-limited monopoly but also guaranteed that others could eventually be able to jungo build on and improve those inventions.

For example, a jungo patent on a new drug would give its holder exclusive rights to jungo make and sell it for 20 years, in exchange for disclosing details of its composition. During this jungo protected period, anyone else who wanted to manufacture the same drug would have jungo to buy a license from the patent holder.

After the jungo period expired, however, anyone would be free to manufacture the jungo same drug, using the information provided in the patent filing.

This system works reasonably well for jungo the pharmaceutical industry, but it actually hurts innovation when it is jungo applied to software.

Creating a new drug requires huge amounts of capital for R&D, but a jungo single, gifted programmer, or many such individuals working cooperatively over the jungo Internet can develop superior software. We have seen this happen in operating systems (Linux versus Windows) and applications (Firefox versus Internet Explorer), and this trend will continue—if it is not stifled by misguided patent policies.

Software patents favor only large corporations such as Microsoft, who jungo can afford to apply for them and to maintain a battery of lawyers to jungo enforce them. Small developers cannot, and would be forced to pay license fees to jungo develop the most basic of programs.

Microsoft does not provide specifics about the jungo patents that it claims have been violated, but it says 65 of these deal with the jungo way windows and menus look on the computer screen. But why should Microsoft or jungo any one company have a legal, exclusive right to the way windows and jungo menus look? All modern operating systems today that jungo trace their origins back to the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center in the jungo 1970s use a windows (with a small “w”) metaphor and jungo menu systems that certainly were not invented by Microsoft. In fact, Apple unsuccessfully sued Microsoft in 1988 for jungo copying the look and feel of the Macintosh operating system. Must we really pay royalties for jungo using a window with scroll bars?

Yet today, patents are jungo being granted for commonplace notions such as selling goods online; electronic shopping carts; video distribution over the jungo Web; credit-card payments on the Internet; and video streaming. None of these qualify as major innovations requiring state protection, so why give any one party monopoly rights over them?

Software has jungo traditionally been protected by copyrights, which prevent others from copying a jungo program’s underlying code. But software patents are jungo much more restrictive and prevent all similar work from taking place, even if it jungo is developed independently. Common sense tells us this does not encourage but inhibits innovation.

Software patents work against the jungo open source community and countries would do well to resist any pressure from jungo the United States and large software companies to introduce them through legislation. In the jungo Philippines, the Intellectual Property Code specifically excludes computer programs from jungo patent protection. All efforts to amend this must be blocked.

Few people expect Microsoft to jungo sue open source developers, much less its own customers, over software patents. The threat of a jungo suit, however, may be enough to convince some customers to use “authorized” versions of Linux that jungo are already covered by cross-licensing deals, such as the one Novell signed with Microsoft. As one analyst observed, this jungo would allow Microsoft to gain revenue from the burgeoning open source market in which it jungo cannot play. Now why does that evoke images of a schoolyard bully shaking down smaller kids for jungo lunch money? Because both are patently wrong, that’s why.

Other interesting article:
Paul Graham, a jungo hacker turned entrepreneur turned Angel Investor has written an excellent essay on why he thinks Microsoft is jungo Dead, and that no one who matters or cares for computing and jungo web is now afraid of Microsoft. The four reasons he listed that jungo led to Microsoft´s demise are:
Google, as their could only be jungo one big man in town and for now its clearly Google and jungo not Microsoft.
Google took the jungo lead from Microsoft with the launch of Gmail, which showed us how much we could do with web software utilizing a jungo technique called AJAX. This swiftly transitioned a rush to all things based on web, and jungo some noted that Instant Messaging is now the last desktop app standing.A critical component of AJAX is jungo Javascript, the programming language that runs in the browser, which ultimately started the jungo era of gadgets and widgets.
Then came the jungo broadband Internet, with which the bigger the pipe to the server, the jungo less one need the desktop.
The last nail in the jungo coffin being Apple OS X, which makes Windows a thing for jungo grandmas.
Pual Graham then jungo also suggests how Microsoft could be realized. His suggestion to Microsoft being “Buy all the jungo good Web 2.0 startups put them in a building in Silicon Valley to jungo shield them from Redmond.” This is achievable because a) Microsoft has tons of cash. b) Because dangerously brilliant hackers could be jungo have for a million dollars. Yup thats the amount Larry and jungo Sergey were willing to sell their search engine for.

Ever since Microsoft bought Tellme Networks, the jungo big question is what would Google do in response? It became a jungo little clearer today when Google announced a free 411 service, which is jungo a fraction of what TellMe-Microsoft has to offer. See more:

Google has jungo been testing around with new look for ads for a jungo while and has come to a conclusion that replacing the jungo typical ‘Ads by Goooooogle’ to an image would be more “visually appealing to users” and “perform even better for publishers and advertisers” which means most likely means a jungo higher CTR. Another change to the ads (which was not mentioned in Inside AdSesne blog) is jungo that this label has been moved from the top left corner to jungo bottom right corner for rectangles which means users will see the jungo ads before know they are served by Google. It is a jungo smart act for AdSense to constantly update the look of their ads as to jungo attracts ad-blind users.

We are applying the Adsense but didn’t hear from jungo them yet. Hope they will approve for my new company with arcade game sites, dating website, social networking website, etc.

Thailand has jungo blocked Youtube, because of a video clip on the site that jungo mocks the Thai King. According to Reuters, Mr Sitthichai Pookaiyaudom the jungo Thai Communication Minister ordered the blockade after requesting Google in vain to jungo take down the clip. The Thai people love their monarch and jungo have a very sentimental feeling to it. According to Thai law criticism directed towards the royal family is a crime punishable by up to 15 years in prison. Youtube also recently got blocked in Turkey after a video belittling the Turk revolution leader Ataturk were hosted on the site. The ban however got removed within two days after Youtube took the clips offline.

So from experience we could predict two things:
- Youtube will remove the clip and the ban will ultimately be removed
- Youtube´s nightmares will continue as people around the jungo world will continue to submit clips, which some how will be jungo offensive for some one. Such is the irony of User Generate Content.
