* [CSS turns 10][1]. Sorry we missed your birthday CSS, but truthfully the belated birthday cards are usually much funnier than the regular ones. Yes, Tuesday marked ten years of Cascading Style Sheets on the web. No word on the impending funeral services for the <code><table></code> tag.

* [According to Groklaw][2] Jeremy Allison (of samba fame) has "resigned from Novell in protest over the Microsoft-Novell patent agreement, which he calls 'a mistake' which will be 'damaging to Novell's success in the future.'"

* It was bad enough that Microsoft touted RSS in IE7 like it was some revolutionary new technology, but now the Redmond giant is trying to [patent the technology][3]. According documents filed with the US Patent and Trademark Office, Microsoft is seeking a patent for "finding and consuming web subscriptions in a web browser." Time to stop drinking your own Kool Aid guys.

* It's the first nerd restaurant. Nolan Bushnell, founder of Atari and Chuck E. Cheese, has [launched][4] a new restaurant, uWink, where each table has touch-screens for ordering food and playing video games. Bushnell says the target audience is 21 to 35 year old women, though he also thinks it will appeal to kids. Ya think?
