Yahoo Sues Facebook for Patent Infringement, Which Social Network Calls “Puzzling” (Including Filing) - Kara Swisher - News - AllThingsD

I don't know why exactly, but I feel a kind of sick joy reading this. Facebook is always screwing up privacy and Yahoo is another sue-happy company looking for a quick buck. I'm all about the free market and making money with business, but some of these big companies just irritate me to no end.

i expect this to go nowhere.

lol... I guess an out of court settlement will be given as this is a common trend among the big sites.

Lol. Puzzling indeed.

A weird way to get themselves some facebook shares before the float

Also, how the hell can you patent privacy settings? lol

This is going to make such an awesome sequel to The Social Network.
