BILL GATES / MICROSOFT CAUGHT STEALING INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY !



THIS IS PART 3 !



The Art of Code Tweaking

known as
"The I'll bury you in court, forever - EFFECT"


-------------

One day, a lecture on "Internet inefficiency" is given and the "obsolesce"
of Search engines, the reasons why search engines are "obsolete" given in such detail, it Included, the replacement of
search engines with "Virtual Machines"...

Corporate Thieves have gone "4D". Spying and theft of Corporate Intellectual property is now done subtly via another

dimension, where everybody's secrets are an open book if and only if you are ignorant of that reality.

So WHY would a company "steal" intellectual property from a lecturer that is not only aware of the dimension, where

such crimes are committed, but is even giving the police & FBI a very strong clue?

Call it, conceit, arrogance - he prefers to call it:

STUPIDITY.

ANYWAY.....

A couple of months later....

2 - 3 more or less, this article was written:
-------------
"MICROSOFT OFFERS MORE TOOLS FOR SEARCH ENGINE"

In the TECHNICAL IMPROVEMENTS Section of The Seattle Times

Microsoft is trying to tackle its declining share in the search
engine market by introducing new tools it says will make
Web searching easier and more efficient.



The search tools debuted late Tuesday on Microsoft's Windows
Live service, at live DOT com along with some cosmetic changes: The search engine has a cleaner look with tabs at

the top for news, images and other categories. Microsoft wants to differentiate itself from Google and other search

engines to attract more users.



Right now the company's MSN Search engine is in third place, behind Google and Yahoo! "Our strategy is plain and

simple," said Christopher Payne, an MSN Search Corporate vice president. "We're trying to build the technical

leadership to answer people's questions better, and then,
hopefully, people will try it.".............



Microsoft is also introducing a way to customize the number
of results that show up on a page. Fewer results on a page would
appear larger and be easier to read.



The company is capping the maximum number of results at 250, or 1,000 for an image-based search, betting that no

one really wants to sift through more than that. The move is risky in that it ratchets up the pressure for Microsoft to

make sure those 250 results are the best and most relevant.



"We've made significant progress on the relevancy of our results and have to invest on improving that area," said Lisa

Gurry, a product manager for the project. "The 250 number absolutely gives us the right level of depth."

-------------



The "tweak" occurred: In changing WHERE the search engine
"limit of searches" occurs - it WAS SUPPOSED TO BE :The WEB search
results not, IMAGES. To limit image search is pure incompetence. Why? If
you do a search for "Images everyone looks at, but don't admit to ,
would you rather have a search limit of "250 - 1,000" or 2,500,000 or more?

Huh!

Microsoft Stealing Code?!

Bill Gates practicing Business Unethically?!

I am shocked and amazed!

One of my all-time fave quotes having to do with M$'s predatory business practices - an MS rep talking to a 3Com rep: "You made a mistake - you trusted us."

Ive read some where that the kernel for XP is a modfied net bsd kernel how true this is I can't say
BUT without being able to see the source code how would anybody know wether M$ has stolen code or not
there is no over sight on this and it's up to the code owner to enforce ownership

Simple - if it works reliably, Microsoft couldn't be responsible for it. XP ain't all that bad, so it must have been stolen

The concept of an Icon representing commands was stolen first by Jobs, then from Jobs by Gates -- and the cycle continues.

Eh, intellectual property and copyright/patent protection in software development is murky territory.

Too much protection of "intellectual property", when it enters vague grounds such as internet technology, can lead to stiffling development.

What about search engines, or how Microsoft goes about developing one, qualifies as stealing intellectual property? And from whom?

There is always a degree of improvement on existing method and technologies in software development.The entire concept of Open Source exists around that idea.

Microsoft "stole" the console from Sony...They "stole" the graphical user interface...They are "stealing" existing search engine methodology to create their own search engines. Their Windows XP operating system has a built in firewall and they are now looking at spyware protection and basic antivirus software in their next OS. All of these things are already done by other software developers and any party who creates another piece of software to do the same job is going to use bits and pieces of existing technology with which to expand upon.

Try this: Open internet explorer and go to "Help", then "About Internet Explorer". Somewhere in the next window it will say "Based on the Mosaic browser" or something to that effect. Most modern web browsers can trace their lineage to Mosaic, the intellectual property of an entity most of us have never heard of!
