Judge rules that Microsoft violated a patent

Today a judge ruled that Microsoft violated a patent held by Eolas and University of California. Not surprised? Of course not. Microsoft is always violating patents. This is not even their first or their tenth or twentieth time they've been found guilty of this. What IS shocking is the cost ($512 MILLION dollars), and the scope. The patent pretty much covers the way ALL metadata is viewed through Internet Explorer
