Will they Embrace and Extend Minecraft as they've done with other categories? Let's hope not. On the other hand, some adult supervision and a Plugin API would be welcome. Mojang have the financial resources but lack the will and focus needed to publish and support a Plugin API. Perhaps Mojang themselves don't realise just how important their little game has become. ]]> minecraft platforms games plugins mojang microsoft https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:ab480e89e1d4/ 2013-07-24T09:30:02+00:00 http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/07/the-webs-longest-nightmare-ends-eolas-patents-are-dead-on-appeal/ jmUnder Doyle's conception of his own invention, practically any modern website owed him royalties. Playing a video online or rotating an image on a shopping website were "interactive" features that infringed his patents. And unlike many "patent trolls" who simply settle for settlements just under the cost of litigation, Doyle's company had the chops, the lawyers, and the early filing date needed to extract tens of millions of dollars from the accused companies. [...] The role of the University of California is one of the most perplexing twists in the Eolas saga. The university kept a low profile during the lead-up to trial; but once in Texas, Eolas lawyers constantly reminded the jury they were asserting "these University of California patents." A lawyer from UC's patent-licensing division described support for Eolas at trial by simply saying that the university "stands by its licensees." (Eolas was technically an exclusive licensee of the UC-owned patent, which also gives it the right to sue.) At the same time, the University of California, and the Berkeley campus in particular, was a key institution in creating early web technology. While UC lawyers cooperated with the plaintiffs, two UC Berkeley-trained computer scientists were key witnesses in the effort to demolish the Eolas patents. Pei-Yuan Wei created the pioneering Viola browser, a key piece of prior art, while he was a student at UC-Berkeley in the early 1990s. Scott Silvey, another UC-Berkeley student at that time, testified about a program he made called VPlot, which allowed users to rotate an image of an airplane using Wei's browser. VPlot and Viola were demonstrated to Sun Microsystems in May 1993, months before Doyle claimed to have conceived of his invention. ]]> patents swpats eolas web patent-trolls ucb universities research viola plugins berkeley https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:139baa265fd4/ 2011-09-26T10:40:53+00:00 http://code.google.com/p/xbmc-vodie/ jm xbmc plugins rte tv3 tg4 ireland magnet television tv flash video https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:b3f7dc0364c4/ 2011-09-06T13:12:07+00:00 http://convergence.io/details.html jm ssl tls trust security https web via:filippo firefox plugins pki https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:dc0536dce13f/ 2009-08-18T10:06:10+00:00 http://globs.org/articles.php?pg=2&lng=en jm thunderbird editing vim emacs gvim its-all-text mail text extensions add-ons plugins https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:d20022f9e2fa/
