Yahoo sues Xfire for patent infringement


Recommended Posts

If you're not into gaming, stay away from the gaming forum. I thought that "Yahoo+sues+Xfire" might be subtle enough to give you an idea as to what the link is about, especially for someone who spends so much time on the internet. :p

XfireTM is a new, free tool that automatically keeps track of when and where gamers are playing PC games online and lets their friends join them easily. It works regardless of game type, server browser, or gaming service that a player is using. Xfire eliminates the hassles of running multiple programs like IRC, instant messengers, or in-game friends lists to keep track of when and where a gamer's friends are playing. It supports the best and the latest online PC games including server- and non-server-based First Person Shooters, Real Time Strategy, and Role Playing Games.
allows users to use a game server in connection with a messenger server to permit 'buddies' to know when other 'buddies' are playing games online, and easily join such games

if anything yahoo shouldnt be allowed such a vague patent, and if thats so then doesnt that mean most ingame server browsers complete with irc facilities are also in the wrong? oh but they might have enough money to fight back so yahoo wont touch them.
