Heard big expansion plans are coming ..... Rumor has it that a European headquarters is being established in France. Did I tell you about the time one of our departments came to a staff meeting with a Microsoft product announcement containing words identical to one of their security patents ? Apparently, the only thing more exciting that getting a patent is finding Microsoft guilty of patent infringement. ROTF !! Alas .... as it turns out, my company had performed a cross licensing/patent exchange agreement with MSFT. These guys were soooooooooo disapointed. I'm hopeful the law suit ends in WRLB's favor since Weaner Rumberger owes me big time for the help I've given him with meeting "lady friends". Regards, Chris

Is this an April Fool’s joke or real? "Oracle CEO loses latest bid to land jet late" biz.yahoo.com Larry Ellison has lost the latest round in his bid to be allowed to land his $40 million jet in San Jose after the city's landing curfew. Wing and a Prayer, the company that operates the plane, filed a lawsuit following a charge by city officials that Ellison violated the curfew six times in a year. The attorney representing both Ellison and Wing and a Prayer said the Gulfstream V was far quieter than some lighter planes and that the city should base its curfew on noise, not weight, the Chronicle reported. Ellison is building a 23-acre Japanese-style imperial villa in nearby Woodside at a cost of more than $80 million. Ellison is slipping...Willie Gary, the attorney who filed the discrimination suit against Microsoft traded his Gulfstream in for a Private Boeing 737; from proceeds of other class action lawsuits. _____________ re: WLRB: Microsoft Patents Ones, Zeroes theonion.com
