AOL bought TW not the other way around: http://money.cnn.com/2000/01/10/deals/aol_warner/. Very true, though, that AOL was never leveraged to push Time Warner media. The corporate structure (and company name) was changed when Levin and Case were ousted.

MS is an EVIL company. And so is Sony and why is that?
To quote, "they are doing what everyone else is". That doesn't make it right.
It's not like MS is innocent of taking that action in the past. Heck, the whole embrace, extend, extinguish tactic is centered on it.

Unfortunately, the design is already in use by a previous manufacturer that holds the patent. Your application has been denied.

You are exactly right. A two dimensional pointer is what you typically get...
A mouse, while it exists in 3 dimensions, is a "two-dimensional pointer". It tracks points only on the x and y axis.
The fact that their pointer tracks in the z axis does indeed indicate that it is a three dimensional pointer.
I'm no where near being a lawyer let along a patent lawyer but, I can see why they pursued this.

Your right, it is business as usual. Never claimed otherwise. Just pointing out that HD-DVD did the same thing. The difference (besides the amount obviously) Blue Ray won. Does that make it fair game to point out that they did it insinuating that it was just them?
