...to a Blind Horse, or so said The Faces way back in 1971. In the present tense, we can safely assume the same to be true when communicating over the Internet. However, Ars Technica shares the cost of a wink may be on rise "...if you run a business in Russia and you make use of the winky smiley face, however, then you may soon find yourself being asked to pay royalties to Oleg Teterin, an entrepreneur who claims he owns the trademark to the popular emoticon in Russia." For those of you who may not be familiar with the ubiquitous smiley face, an emoticon is a symbol or combination of symbols used to convey emotional content in written or message form. According to Wikipedia, "The word is a portmanteau of the English words emotion (or emote) and icon." I guess it may be time to look up the emoticon for greedy ideas from individuals without any respect for the concept of public domain.
