'Zounds! From The Times that speak to the Geeks:
Nokia downgraded to
'junk'
Sylvie Barak
Another quarter of disastrous financial
results for Nokia last week, with a quarterly loss of $1.7 billion, has led
to the Finnish phone maker’s debt being downgraded to “negative” and even “junk”
by major financial consultants.

University wants scientists to make their research open access and resign from
publications that keep articles behind paywalls
"Other universities are likely to follow Harvard's example on this. If it
starts at a university with the stature of Harvard, they will take a long hard
look at whether this is something that makes sense for them to do as well.
People watch Harvard. There's no grey area there."[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

According to an article on cnet:
"I would highly prefer to
settle than to battle," he said. "But it's important that Apple not become the
developer for the world. We need people to invent their own
stuff."
So... Mr. Cook... does that mean Apple will no longer be infringing Motorolas patents? Or are you saying it's ok for
Apple to use similar technology to others, but others can't use similar
technology to Apple?
Wait.... if Apple uses similar technology to
others.... doesn't that mean others automatically use similar technology to
Apple because Apple choose that route?
Oh what a tangled web we weave
when we prefer to reject the idea that many can individually invent the same
technology yet we wish to block them while ignoring the fact they have just as
much right to the "inventions".

not sure i can really do the style justice.
When the Wise One finally gets what he deserves and all the API are belong unto
him.
Does it then come to pass that Red Hat may be in a position force the Wise One
into having to GPL all his stuff?
Including the TCK?

"It's approaching
crisis levels," said James Bessen, a lecturer at Boston University School of Law
and co-author of "Patent Failure." "In most industries, the patent system has
become a disincentive to innovation."
