Chalk one up for the little Canadian guy.
CNET reports that i4i, a Toronto-based firm, has been awarded US$200 million in damages from Microsoft in a patent infringement case. A Texas jury ruled that the custom XML tagging features of Word 2003 and Word 2007 infringed on an i4i patent.
That is a serious chunk of change.

Mobiles That Left Their Mark
The mobile phone is possibly one of the greatest inventions of our time, maybe not greater than ‘Sliced Bread’ but definitely one of the top five on the list. It’s literally brought people closer than ever before. Sure Mr. Alexander G Bell made it all possible, but the technology has certainly come a long way since then. The basic technology may remain the same, but the forms they come in with the kind of features provided in that form is a whole other story. The mobile handset has been toned down, built up, reduced considerably in size and built to be an office and a playground. I don’t want to give you a history lesson, but this is just a reminiscence of the good old days of the mobile handset and as cheesy as it may sound, the ones we left behind. So here are some of those mobile handsets that really turned things around for the industry.
