"Microsoft has received a patent that covers a search engine platform that is based on a "bag-of-words" and "essential pages" ranking system to make searches more efficient."
I'm no expert, but this sounds pretty similar (although not identical) to another very popular search engine.
This is epic. Period.
ReplyDeleteWhen I showed this to my friend, my friend said (after a minute of laughing), 'Who the heck are these people in patent office that grant these patents? A 80-year-old former judge who never seen a computer?'
I find that sums up my feelings pretty well.
