Guido's blogging again

Nice to see that Guido has found some time again to write for his weblog after a two-month break during August/Semptember.
I read some interesting news about Microsoft patents there:
* "Believe it or not, Microsoft got a US patent for Cookies. The patent has already been requested in December 1996."
* "Microsoft got a US patent on activity monitoring in IM networks."
I hope that it will not come this far with software patents in europe ...
