This has been a tedious but by no means unimportant battle, and I'm glad of the resolution. Oddly, or perhaps it indicates an institutional shift in the scope of patents, the win by Novell comes hot on the heels of the Judge Robert Sweet's invalidation of patents held by Myriad Genetics on breast cancer genes BRCA1 and 2 in a suit filed by the ACLU. (See the useful <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/30/business/30gene.html?ref=global">NYTimes</a> article on the issue; see also NPR's <a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=125361332">short and very lucid account</a> by Richard Knox.)</div><div><br /></div><div>Patents issued without heed for social consequences are pernicious.

And many, if not the vast majority, of those migrating to it have never worked with computers.

This has been a tedious but by no means unimportant battle, and I'm glad of the resolution. Oddly, or perhaps it indicates an institutional shift in the scope of patents, the win by Novell comes hot on the heels of the Judge Robert Sweet's invalidation of patents held by Myriad Genetics on breast cancer genes BRCA1 and 2 in a suit filed by the ACLU. (See the useful <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/30/business/30gene.html?ref=global">NYTimes</a> article on the issue; see also NPR's <a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=125361332">short and very lucid account</a> by Richard Knox.)</div><div><br /></div><div>Patents issued without heed for social consequences are pernicious.

The people involved are supported by the national government's Information adn Communication Technology Agency of Sri Lanka (<a href="http://www.icta.lk/">ICTA</a>), which has been formulating eGov. policy and otherwise taking steps to take advantage of the commercial and educational--and most important, cultural--potential and advantages of the Web. </div><div><br /></div><div>The ICTA site makes for interesting reading. For instance, the site points out that local industry needs 100-0150K competent workers. I'd guess in fact they need more, and soon: Global climate change is affecting all traditional occupations, forcing a migration to the Web. And many, if not the vast majority, of those migrating to it have never worked with computers. This points to several things, the most salient being, to me, the huge importance of developing better user interfaces, ones that are predicated on real <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_design">inclusive design</a>, also known as universal design.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width="1" height="1" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4649039904546083564-7451795451890278863?l=ooo-speak.blogspot.com" alt="" /></div></description> - <pubDate>Tue, 30 Mar 2010 14:07:57 +0000</pubDate> - <author>[email protected] (oulipo)</author> -</item> -<item> - <title>Louis Suarez-Potts: OpenOffice.org Is MIA In Bing, But Itâs Not Censorship</title> - <guid>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4649039904546083564.post-2351330487283070985</guid> - <link>http://ooo-speak.blogspot.com/2010/03/openofficeorg-is-mia-in-bing-but-its.html</link> - <description><a href="http://searchengineland.com/openofficeorg-mia-in-bing-but-not-censorship-39004">OpenOffice.org Is MIA In Bing, But Itâs Not Censorship</a><br /><br />The analysis is fair and good, and does relate to overactive crawlers.
