What I am talking about? Most of you may remember it as "Metro" - the funky, colorful new User Interface which comes with Windows 8.

Thing is, "Metro" had some licensing issues, that's why MS dropped it and searched for a different name.

There were some Codenames used in the meanwhile but in the end it was "Live Tiles" - so the single aprts of the ex-metro-interface is onw called "live Tiles".

Ironically - well - there is also a licensing problem there.

An US Software Company named SurfCast is now sueing Microsoft - the reason for it is massively ridicolous.

They say, they have a patent on a system which presents different information simultanously in a grid layout.

What the hell? Every screen is doing that, every RSS reader is doing that, every computer is doing that!! Even the dash in a car is doing that!!

So, don't be angry with me, but I am losing every hope for intelligence .. maybe someone should just bomb them, because of being dumb. *ironic*

Maybe just bomb the bureau of patents or the one idiot who invented patents
