Our Cupboards, Refridgerator, and Pantry are out of space. All full bottles are now being lined up next to the baseboard heater. This will be a problem in winter. The two yellow capped Coke bottles are all we have left of the twenty bottles of Passover Coca Cola we had purchased.

Don't Be Evil
I'd like to believe that Microsoft is trying to tie up this patent so that it can sue people who try to violate this patent, all in the name of being a red blooded american company, but I'm not optimistic.
On the other hand, hey, a neat idea for a public interest IP firm. Patent all of the evil ideas, and keep people from using them. After all, there's no such thing as compulsory licensing,right?

Your Rights Online: Microsoft Seeking to Patent Automatic Censorship: "theodp writes 'Microsoft is back at the USPTO, this time seeking a patent for the automatic censorship of audio data for broadcast, a system and method for automatically altering audio to prevent undesired words and phrases from being understandable to a listener as originally uttered.'"

Palm's Blackberry Connect software for the Treo650 is worthless
Blackberry announced Blackberry Connect software for the Treo 650.
It uses the built in VersaMail mail client. How often do you hear people asking for a mail client on their phone or pda "just like Versamail?"
The answer is never. Snappermail and Chatteremail (my current fave) are what power users tend to use.
Futhermore, it seems that the Blackberry connect server does sync the mailbox and calendar with a blackberry enterprise server, but not the contacts, which means that you still need to sync your phone with your computer to do backups and sync your contacts.
Perhaps Blackberry doesn't want to cannibalize sales of their own devices.
This might be useful for those people who work at an organization that has a Blackberry Enterprise Server, and wants to look at using Treos, but doesn't want to consider using Goodlink's services, which sync contacts, calendar and mail.
I don't think that market exists.
