Some computers are difficult to upgrade oe new versions of software are upwardly compatible so files won't work on older models or,

He says that software is a particularly active area for patents, especially anything to do with telecommunications, semiconductors and 4g data networks.
Software patents are also particularly broad and vague, and that makes infringement difficult to avoid.
when it comes to software. A recent study found that if every software producing firm in America wanted to check just the new software patents issued in a given year,
about two million patent attorneys working full time would be needed to do the job. That's a problem because there are only about 40,000 registered patent attorneys and agents in the entire United states according to the United states Patent and Trademark Office.
Christina Mulligan, one of the authors of the report and a postdoctoral associate at Yale Law school, says that the main problem is that software patents are so broad and vague that they are essentially impossible to index,
and even if you tried you'd probably only find 25 of the 50 patents your software may infringe,
but buy up software patents with the sole purpose of making money from them by enforcing the patent rights against purported infringers.
But, for the moment, the software patent perfect storm shows no sign of abating. The only likely winners are the patent attorneys.

#Marc Andreessen explains why software is â eating the worldâ##Groupon, Facebook, and Linkedin investor Marc Andreessen.
Hewlett-packard announced this week that it is exploring jettisoning its struggling PC business in favor of investing more heavily in software,
Marc Andreessen (board member at Hewlett-Parckard) explains why software is eating the world. Both moves are also in line with a trend Ive observed,
In short, software is eating the world. More than 10 years after the peak of the 1990s dot-com bubble, a dozen or so new Internet companies like Facebook and Twitter are sparking controversy in Silicon valley,
which software companies are poised to take over large swathes of the economy. More and more major businesses and industries are being run on software
and delivered as online services#rom movies to agriculture to national defense. Many of the winners are Silicon valley-style entrepreneurial technology companies that are invading
I expect many more industries to be disrupted by software, with new world-beating Silicon valley companies doing the disruption in more cases than not.
and two decades into the rise of the modern Internet, all of the technology required to transform industries through software finally works
On the back end, software programming tools and Internet-based services make it easy to launch new global software-powered start-ups in many industries#ithout the need to invest in new infrastructure and train
the cost of a customer running a basic Internet application was approximately $150, 000 a month.
Running that same application today in Amazons cloud costs about $1, 500 a month. With lower start-up costs and a vastly expanded market for online services
Perhaps the single most dramatic example of this phenomenon of software eating a traditional business is the suicide of Borders and corresponding rise of Amazon.
Today, the worlds largest bookseller, Amazon, is a software company#ts core capability is its amazing software engine for selling virtually everything online
Now even the books themselves are software. Todays largest video service by number of subscribers is a software company:
Netflix. How Netflix eviscerated Blockbuster is an old story, but now other traditional entertainment providers are facing the same threat.
Comcast, Time warner and others are responding by transforming themselves into software companies with efforts such as TV Everywhere,
Todays dominant music companies are software companies, too: Apples itunes, Spotify and Pandora. Traditional record labels increasingly exist only to provide those software companies with content.
Industry revenue from digital channels totaled $4. 6 billion in 2010, growing to 29%of total revenue from 2%in 2004.

Agriculture is powered increasingly by software as well, including satellite analysis of soils linked to per-acre seed selection software algorithms.
The financial services industry has been transformed visibly by software over the last 30 years. Practically every financial transaction
from someone buying a cup of coffee to someone trading a trillion dollars of credit default derivatives, is done in software.
And many of the leading innovators in financial services are software companies, such as Square, which allows anyone to accept credit card payments with a mobile phone,
and Paypal, which generated more than $1 billion in revenue in the second quarter of this year, up 31%over the previous year.

The modern combat soldier is embedded in a web of software that provides intelligence, communications, logistics and weapons guidance.
Software-powered drones launch airstrikes without putting human pilots at risk. Intelligence agencies do large-scale data mining with software to uncover

This includes even industries that are based software today. Great incumbent software companies like Oracle and Microsoft are threatened increasingly with irrelevance by new software offerings like Salesforce. com
and Android (especially in a world where Google owns a major handset maker). In some industries, particularly those with a heavy real-world component such as oil and gas, the software revolution is primarily an opportunity for incumbents.
But in many industries, new software ideas will result in the rise of new Silicon valley-style start-ups that invade existing industries with impunity.
Over the next 10 years, the battles between incumbents and software-powered insurgents will be epic. Joseph Schumpeter, the economist who coined the term creative destruction,

His program also detected a similar pattern of damage caused by the western spruce budworm.
Kennedy's program also recognized a subtler decline of forests near these two mountains. Hiking to an area that seemed be in poor health based upon the program's analysis Kennedy recently found an infestation of western spruce budworms.

Over the past 20 years the growth of the free and open source software movement whose poster child is the operating system Linux has provided an alternative to proprietary software from megacorps such as Microsoft Apple

This pledge is OSSI s equivalent of the idea that underpins the open source software movement in the form of the General Public Licence or GPL.
The GPL states that the software is free to use but any modifications to it or other software derived from it must be licensed under the GPL too ensuring the benefits accrue to the public
and continue to be free. Importantly that s free#as in freedom not free#as in you don t have to pay for it.
