It's not really a surprise to myself Gates dodged
the question. He's worked rather hard at cultivating an image he's a
philanthropist and the Gates Foundation is a charitable
organization.
Given it's all a smokescreen for investments - it's not a
surprise that:
A: he's (whether personally or through the Gates foundation)
invested in Monstanto
and
B: he's avoiding any discussion that would
point to the fact all his "philanthropic" efforts are nothing more then
investment opportunities
Just my humble opinion of course.

Cnet returns a 404 on the
Newspick. Using Cnet's internal search shows the
story as top of the list but their link is the same and still returns 404. In
the meantime the

The URL given in News Picks is not working.
The following link *is* working
-- at least for now ...
(The title of the article is different but the text
matches the blurb in News Picks.)

For the most part Glyn Moody (The H)
is quoting from a study
by Clark Asay (brother of Matt), though Glyn leaves
little
doubt that he agrees with public domain donation as a ripe
and viable
alternative.
The argumentation is so poor that I wonder if Clark is being
fairly quoted. There seems little appreciation of the
success of copyleft as
a legal strategy in a highly
litigious industry, except as quaint historical
affect.

The
Newspick omits that the release is in
India.
Originally developed for the Intel 80186 [REX] was then
ported to ARM and
x86 architectures are no longer supported. REX is not POSIX
compliant or open source and requires a
license from Qualcomm for
use.

Did anyone else see that headline and wonder if a certain so-called patent
consultant, surnamed for an obstinate animal, was broadening his attack
methodology?

The more I look at this, the more I think Monsanto is
trying to take the easy way. A company with Monsanto's smarts should have been
able to make
a weedkiller that killed everything except soybeans; or in the
same league, they should have made their Roundup-Resistant™ gene
non-
inheritable. Or as Woodie might have said Monsanto have plowed their
furrow too short and curvy.

Torrentfreak appears to have omitted a link to the ECS

The problem for Google is that various EU privacy directives and laws give us
Europeans a right (which must be honored) to opt out of such things. US
corporate policy does not trump EU law.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Now you know how the po' folk
feel, being satisfied with nothing.
That's our Bill! The scales
finally fell from his eyes, and it only took 13 years! Bill, I gotta tell ya,
'Microsoft innovation' is an oxymoron. I know Charlie is your buddy, but you
shouldn't criticize your CEO in public like that. It's bad form. Oh wait, you
_innovated_ that management style, didn't you?
That said, I like Steve, and I
hope you keep him for another 13 years. That should be long enough.... [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
