Another Amazon Patent
Hey, the Europeans may be as dumb as the Americans when it comes to granting patents. The European Patent Office (EPO) in Munich has recently granted a patent to Amazon which covers all computerised methods of automatically delivering a gift to a third party. This patent is a descendant of the famous "Amazon One Click Patent" granted in the USA, but with a broader claim scope than the original US version. Read the rest of it. Yeah. There's no prior...

EU vs Microsoft: The US reaction
Some interesting US reaction to the EU's verdict on Microsoft, delivered yesterday, is summed up at the Washington Post today. A general thought is that even a $3bn fine - the absolute maximum fine the EU can levy on Microsoft for its abuses of monopoly power - would be good news for the software company. Why? They've got a cash pile of $49bn. The EU could do its worst (which, incidentally, it is unlikely to do anyway) and it would be little more than an irritation at Redmond. Once the EU hands down the fine, Microsoft can pay up and get on with business as usual. There's a quote I like from Forbes's Dan Ackman: "For Microsoft, the long-anticipated charges create a sense of deja vu..." [onlineblog.com]

The EU Constitution
The proposed European Union Constitution will lead to a massive welfare state? Or, "Compare and Contrast the United States Constitution with that of the EU" From a cursory glance at the depth of the document, this detail-oriented Constitution is entirely alien to one such as myself used to the broad Madisonian brushstrokes of the United States Constitution. What are the merits and/or limits of the 'broad' versus 'detailed' Constitution? Is the EU taking on more than a government should by stating provisions for general welfare and environmental awareness? Or, is the EU looking ahead in ways that others have not? [MetaFilter]

Any bets on whether they'll succeed? (I mean the EU in managing to bring MS to actually comply)
