The stock market no longer moves based on sound fundamentals - it swings on the emotion of fund managers, media opinion, politics, and the average Joe’s paranoia.

I’m changing my tune on PayPerPost and dumping TechCrunch
I consider myself a HUGE John Galt capitalist. So recently when reading some ridiculous commentary on TechCrunch (which has consistently gone downhill over the last year) it dawned on me that my views on PayPerPost (PPP) directly contradicted my strong belief in Capitalism. Bear with me.

At one point in my life (early 2000’s) I was set on the idea that I was heading off to law school. Then I got sued. It was an experience that I will never forget. I’m not going to go into all the details of what happened except to say that in the end I […]

“Open-source programs step on 235 Microsoft patents, the company said. Free Linux software violates 42 patents. Graphical user interfaces, the way menus and windows look on the screen, breach 65. E-mail programs step on 15, and other programs touch […]
Well our friends at CleanFlicks are back in business - for now. The company claims that it has found a “loophole” that allows them to legally edit movies. According to the Daily Herald:
“The loophole revolves around a portion of the Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 106, which states, ‘the fair use of a copyrighted work, including […]
I blogged sometime ago about the problems I’ve had with my iPod booting up. Looks like I’m not the only one who has had this problem. Check out Matt Hickey at TechCrunch give some instruction on how to do major home surgery to an iPod that won’t boot. Pretty cool stuff.
While I’m on one here check […]
I am doing some research on a company and came across a “Patent Pending” notice on their Web site. How do I uncover information on this patent pending? Is there a useful Web site out there? Where is the best place to go without using an attorney?
Thanks in advance!
