Torching the Modern-Day Library of Alexandria - The Atlantic:

This is a great loss no one cares about. A sad inefficiency of the system that will probably never be fixed in my lifetime. I guess someone will uncover it for a 100 years when no really reads books anymore.

Microsoft patent division taking cash from at least 5 Android vendors

Microsoft patent division taking cash from at least 5 Android vendors I love some of Microsoft products. However, the patent system is broken. It becomes barrier innovation and small companies. Google and Android is not small but it is success is largely due to the free availability of it to the masses. The masses ability to review, critique and contribute and then use. Just like other products, java, linux, etc.... I suspect the arguments will sound like those of the drug industry. We invested so much we must protect our investment. As we watch big Pharma die a slow death from protectionism and gaming the patent system. A company that wants to make money needs to add VALUE not put up white picket fences. I provide services to my employers. If I put up picket fences to protect my JOB, I would be fired as soon as possible. We need to fire this type of action. It is friction to innovation not lubricant.

Inside Oracle’s cloak-and-dagger political war with Google - Recode

Inside Oracle’s cloak-and-dagger political war with Google - Recode : Google is far from perfect but to say Oracle is the protector of the masses or that they have done more good for industry and consumers is nothing short of laughable. This smells of paid propaganda. HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
