'All the German government achieved was to insert into Art 2b a requirement that a "technical contribution" must be not only non-obvious but also new (Anm. d. Red.: Woohoo!). Zypries praised this achievement as an effective safeguard against broad and trivial patents.'

Interesting thoughts about Macromedia trying to, in a way, out-Windows Windows, by creating dubious wannabe-platforms like Macromedia Central, which might have been so much more interesting would it have restricted itself to provide a more or less portable way to access OS resources, a lightweight client-side database with server synchronization and a bunch of sharable data type definitions. And then Macromedia Flex, featuring the most braindead licensing model since ~~Curl~~ Laszlo. Whom the heck are they thinking they're selling to?
