Screenshot Captor: One of the bestIf you write blog posts or perhaps ebooks or articles based on technology, one of the first requirements of many is finding a decent screenshot program. One of the best, in my opinion, for Windows users has to be Screenshot Captor, as it allows editing of the screenshots taken, and possesses some large configuration options. And it's a free download.. If you're after a good free screenshot grabber, try Screenshot Captor.

Defending Against Frivolous Software Patent Infringement Claims - Nice TalkThis is video and transcript of a talk by Andrew Tridgell on how to defend yourself against Patent Infringement claims. I'm one of those people who believes software patents are a horrible idea, and that the patent system in general is a travesty. If you are serious about selling your own software, you owe it to yourself to investigate this issue a little bit. If you start to make real money, *someone* will try to sue you for patent infringement, if only to try to pressure you into buying them off. Andrew Tridgell: Okay. So, I’m going to be talking today about patent defence for free software developers, and, as it says on the slide there, I am not a lawyer, but, the point of this talk is not to have a talk by a lawyer. The point is to learn about how an engineer interacts with patent attorneys, to teach you the basics of language and the day-to-day you do when you try to communicate with patent attorneys in building patent defence. So that’s the first part of this talk. The first part is a bit like a tutorial how an engineer interacts with patent attorneys to do analysis of patents. http://news.swpat.or...pt-tridgell-patents/ |
