 Neural Networks
Neural networks, with their remarkable ability to derive meaning from complicated or imprecise data, can be used to extract patterns and detect trends that are too complex to be noticed by either humans or other computer techniques.
The commonest type of artificial neural network consists of three groups, or layers, of units: a layer of "input" units is connected to a layer of "hidden" units, which is connected to a layer of "output" units.
We present the network with training examples, which consist of a pattern of activities for the input units together with the desired pattern of activities for the output units.

 Microsoft Responds to Real Networks Suit
Real Networks earlier in the day filed an antitrust case against Microsoft in federal court in San Jose, Calif., alleging that the Redmond, Wash., software giant illegally used its monopoly power to restrict competition and consumer choice in the digital-media space by forcing its Windows Media player on Windows users.
Part of Real Networks' case is based on business conduct similar to what U.S. courts have declared illegal in other Microsoft antitrust cases, such as failure to disclose interface information and placing restrictions on PC manufacturers, said Bob Kimball, Real Networks vice president and general counsel, in the statement.
Real Networks, which expects the litigation to cost $12 million in 2004 and $1.5 million in this quarter, is seeking both injunctive relief and damages that "could well exceed a billion dollars," Kimball said.

 Real Networks 'seeks alliance' with Apple | The Register
Real Networks has invited Apple to join forces against a common enemy, Microsoft.
Real's move to work with Apple is surprising not only for that reason, but because it is already touting its RealPlayer 10 for its ability to play all the key music and video formats, including Apple's favourite, AAC, plus MP3, MPEG 2, MPEG 4, Windows Media and its own proprietary formats.

Real Networks, as the only company still participating in the Commission's action against Microsoft, was understandably pleased that Judge Bo Vesterdorf dismissed Redmond's actions, claiming that 'The court's denial of Microsoft's appeal is a great victory for the Commission and for the Consumer.'
Real will now be trying to take the place of Windows Media Player in the affections of Europe's Windows users.
Stewart was adamant that Real was committed to seeing the case through to the end even though many of the organisations siding with the Commission, such as Sun and Novell, had withdrawn from the action.

Real maintains there is no illegality since Harmony doesn't bypass either its own or Apple's DRM rules - it simply translates one set of rule formulations into the another.
