[ppy] while I totally admire the way they have executed it, and am
happy for the Apple/Siri folks for finally bringing ontology and
semantic technology to the mass market with such fanfare ... I am, at
the same time, saddened by the fact that we (in the US) too, are now
under a "first to file" patent regime (and that "first to invent" is
no longer relevant!) (02)
Regards. =ppy
