Microsoft, Apple, Patent Struggle?

News.com has launched another article that has captured and focused the energy of the anti-patent crowd into yet one more discussion focused on how lousy Microsoft is, and how the world should be without software patents.

Americans are so accustomed to tipping that every meal out is generally expected to cost 20% more than the listed menu price.
