unrest in the wilds of the web
Tim Berners-Lee sent off a letter today to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, imploring the good folks there to re-examine U.S. Patent No. 5,838,906, aka the Eolas patent. Berners-Lee writes that “A patent whose validity is demonstrably in doubt ought not be allowed to undo the years of work that have gone into building the Web.”
Other head-turning news for web developers is the announcement of Microsoft’s impending new OS Longhorn and what Microsoft’s browser strategy will be. Are we facing a future in which Microsoft dominates the web? And some people wonder why I see open standards in an almost religious light.
Lots of insightful pieces are popping up on this issue, I personally think it’s far too early in the game to make predictions. I found Eric Meyer’s Corralled a dark but worthy read, and Dave Shea’s commentary on XAML and IE provides a nice overview of the situation.

Religious ideals are based upon Truth, Dignity, and Wholeness. Why not bring these to bear in web analysis?

I really hope they deny that patent. Why is it becoming such a big deal now if they got it back in 1998?
You would think that they could use the popularity gained from being the creator of that technology could be used for future gains and partnerships.
They would rather try to set the web back though.
