Organization Will Set You Free

"If I have said it once, I have said it a thousand times, organization will set you free"  or so said Alton Brown.  The way that people organize their computer, or as an extension, everything, is a clue to the way they function best and what they like doing.  For my Personal Computer (Here and after known as "my PC"), I use a combination of things that I have learned from various sources.  I use Google Reader and Google E-Mail to have easy access to the internet if at some point I have an opportunity to check CygnusX-1.net or the Call of Duty MW3 forums or SMNC (Super Monday Night Combat) beta fixes.  I don't store many pictures but my "Lets Play Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" and my "Batman Arkham City: Riddler INSANITY" videos all have 16 gb USB drives for themselves.  Social Bookmarking, also known as the processing of bookmarks to people that you set, are not used.  On my Reader account I have all of my rush news tagged with the words "Geddy, Neil, Bass, Alex, Clockwork, Angels, Sectors" depending on the topic

Microsoft is overdoing the US patent situation

Barnes and Noble announced that there were multiple charges of excessive royalties payed to Microsoft for the right to the Android smartphone.  This was seen as an attempt to drive companies out of business because of the rising prices needed to pay these royalties.  Microsoft is now suing Barnes and Noble, claiming that their Nook infringes on at least 5 patents made within the last decade by Microsoft.  Microsoft also entered a deal between Nokia, itself and MOSAID.  The agreement was made that, because of Nokia and Microsoft combined, MOSAID gained control of 2000 patents.  The only price in this matter is the fact that 2/3 of profit revenue from these new devices goes to Microsoft and Nokia, respectively.
