Microsoft RoundTable Video Gets Patent Suit

I'm a personal shareholder in Microsoft (MSFT), mainly because I love their gaming products: XBOX 360, but when it comes to business practices, Microsoft has never been known as a "fair" player. Then again, who really is?

FullView, a company based in NJ is suing Microsoft and its RoundTable Webcam for patent infringement. FullView is requesting the UC District Court for the Northen District of California to require Microsoft to stop selling RoundTable and award FullView triple damages.

FullView's patent dates back to 1995 and covers a camera system with continuous full 360-degree view. The patent was officially awarded to FullView in March 2004.

Does anyone have experience of mobile broadband coverage in Cornwall? I travel down their regularly and am thinking about signing up with a mobile broadband provider but have heard coverage can be poor in some rural areas. I’ve been looking at various different mobile broadband providers here and am leaning towards Vodafone.

Any advice would be great. I don’t want to sign up and find I’m paying for a product that doesn’t work!
