Highly unlikely in the case of Microsoft. Although it would depend on how much you were suing for and could dis prove that the other person didn't have prior art before they copied your idea.

your post makes it sound that you think bad spellers are stupid.

Not stupid but sloppy and lazy, therefore why would anyone think that you have a half decently worked out idea?

Of course you all know now know the function as add to playlist or something to that nature.
I mentioned it at a technet seminar in London, to deaf ears..............

565718 2007-07-05 05:05:00 I like what I'm hearing here. There's a lot of creative thinking and I like to see smart people think creatively.

Unfortunately any idea you may have we have retroactively trademarked thanks to our work in quantum mechanics and its application to time travel. In fact, my lawyers are currently working on a proposal for me to sue myself based on the fact that we've gone back and trademarked DOS before we invented it.

So good luck with your endeavours and if a SWAT team kicks down your door at 3am and seizes everything you own including your underwear, don't take it personally. It's just business.

Steve is great guy and the company is behind him 100% of the way. If he expresses himself forcefully at times it's just because he has such passion for the company and the work we do.

That and the fact he can't stand whinny little bastards who think making everything white and removing practical functionality makes products cooler.

He was actually throwing chairs after learning that one of your top guys had defected to Google (that little internet search company up in Mountain View, California that is currently partnered with Apple). I believe his words were "I'm going to f***ing kill Google".

Son, I've got so much money I could reach across the ocean, buy your tinpot country's police, miltary, judicary and politicians and then throw a party for myself where they all attend while I have you beaten to a pulp by guys with baseball bats, get them to dig a hole, drop you in it, fill it in and then plant daisies on top.

But yeah, I'm gonna f*** Goggle up. Big time. Then I'll have breakfast.
