LG ELECTRONICS and Microsoft said they'd signed a patent cross licence agreement which means, apparently, the hardware outfit can use Linux based embedded devices.

Microsoft will pay money to LGE and Microconnect for patents "related to operating systems".

LGE will pay money to Microsoft for its patents "as they relate to Linux based embedded devices that LGE produces".

According to the Vole, it has signed similar agreements with NEC, Nortel, Samsung, Seiko and Fuji Xerox to "help build bridges" between computer hardware, software and telecomms. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
