The patent system isn’t broken — we are | This is my next...

innovation is not invention....being the first to ask the question and come up with the obvious solution is not an invention...I am in industry and see what happens...patents are pushed through on obvious solutions to new questions by corporate lawyers to stifle competition..this is openly discussed..they need this protection to protect these OBVIOUS solutions to these new questions....I watch these simple ideas morphed into patent legalese and references galore....I would find it laughable if it wasn't rampant....Our patent plaques hanging on the wall are seen as source of respect but I know inside they are just a necessary to move up the corporate ladder if you are an engineer in america....little better than some sort of certification.....the true value and prestige of a patent has and is being diluted...it is not just in software!!!!!!!!!

Microsoft loses i4i appeal, faces Word injunction in three weeks

I just finished reading this article and it grinds on me. I cannot speak to the details of this patent but on the surface it looks to me like many software patents. They fail on the Non-Obvious test. Maybe it is because I understand software but what amazes me is far different from my wife who is in the medical field and even further from those I meet who are less educated. This does not even come close to impressing me!! I am not a M$ groupie as they have many unworthy patents too. The patent system is broke in this this area as well as others. This is not Dave over Goliath. It is Dave leveraging a broken system over Goliath. The same system Goliath leverages to maintain competitive advantages. Wrong is Wrong even when Dave does it.

AppleInsider | After $8M victory, Personal Audio sues Apple again over same patent

AppleInsider | After $8M victory, Personal Audio sues Apple again over same patent Apple is victim of their own tactics. Reading through this patent US Patent No 6,199,076 reaffirms my belief most patents do not pass the obvious test. I see on the horizon many things possible in 10 years with trends technology today. I just need to the funds to invest in these obvious hail mary patents.

Tools for Efficient use of my computer

This list should be based on how you use it. I am not going to go into coding, email or the rest.  I am covering some gaps I have noticed in my day to day use. I will lean toward cloud based storage, open source and cross platform tools but since these are gaps good choices may not be available. High end notepad Process Manager Maco Tool Regular Expression tester Clipboard Manager I will cover each or these in turn in following posts.
