» While most people resort to medicine to treat an illness after the symptoms have become noticeable, a friend of mine regularly takes pills as a pre-emptive measure. Following exposure to rain, even if it was only a brief shower, he'll usually take some type of cold medication, his thinking being: instead of waiting for a viral infection to set in, why not act immediately? This is something his mother taught him. So he keeps a stock of over-the-counter medication, like cough remedies and paracetamol, in his everyday bag and he also resorts to antibiotics at the first sign of a sore throat.

The claimant is SurfCast and they say they did the equivalent of Live Tiles, what Microsoft is calling a coloured square you can click on or touch activate, first. Their patent from 2004 is for a "system and method for simultaneous display of multiple information sources". If for example you look up a screen shot of Xerox's Windows equivalent that appeared before Windows 1.0 you will see what looks a lot like a Windows 8 screen that was designed a long time before the year 2000.
