Oldie points out this patent issue that has to do with image linking.

A Singapore company has laid claims to a technology that Web sites across the globe deploy to link images to other Web pages, and sent out notification letters to several companies demanding to be paid licensing fees.
 
okey, there is a slight resemblance :p
 
I thought linking pictures was simple html coding?

How the hell do they have a patent for coding like this?

Nice linkage on front page Kyle.:D
 
I'm gonna have to have them counter-license my patent on stupidity. Stupid people will make me rich, I tell ya! :D
 
Good lord, I love it when Kyle does the news. :p

Awesomeness.
 
haha love it. I dont browse [H]ardOCP much. But now i will. :)
 
WOW. talk about abuse of the internet. Let me patent breathing.
 
What about web content made with Front Page/Expressions/DreamWeaver, etc. The option to link photos is built into the software itself. Shouldn't they be going after Microsoft and the like instead of going after the software users? :rolleyes:
 
Any have the US Patent number of this alleged bullshit? Lets see if it is yet another patent that should have never been granted. Hopefully the EFF with help from MS/Google/etc will get it blown out of the water as nonsense.
