You know its time to quit a thing when it…

Becomes frustrating when you keep on doing it and it leads to angst and emotional outbursts and other emotions. In a move to control our emotions, Microsoft just announced that they own computer emotions and will soon file a patent on it. Soon each smiley face we type in an email will have to have a ™ by it or everyone will need at least windows 2000 pro to do emoticons. That’ll teach all you pesky Linux and MAC users to smile. But wait…

That’s not what the patent says at all if you read the application. So all you bad ass bloggers that think you got it, we’re gonna fine you in lean emoticons that don’t increase your bandwidth at all but your blog is still owned by us.
