SOFTWARE GIANT Microsoft has swapped patents with the Korean telly maker Samsung.

The cross-licensing agreement means that Samsung will get Volish technology in its computers, digital media players, camcorders, televisions, printers, home appliances and television set-top-boxes.

Meanwhile the Vole will get its paws on Samsung's digital media and computer devices. According to Associated Press, the Vole has been doing similar deals with NEC, Fuji-Xerox, Seiko-Epson and Nortel and it is not clear what cunning move the Vole is planning yet. 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.
