Microsoft patents emoticons
One would think that this was a joke, but it isn't.From Vox:
Various organisations have criticised Microsoft for attempting to patent the creation of custom emoticons. The patent, which was published by the US patent office on Thursday, covers selecting pixels to create an emoticon image, assigning a character sequence to these pixels and reconstructing the emoticon after transmission.
Sun Open Source's the best OS on the planet and makes running it, even commercially, free, and Microsoft wants to charge per smiley face. This is but one of the many reasons why I don't do windows.
