In my latest Patexia post, I envision a future in which Microsoft actually challenges Apple for tablet superiority.
Surface Tension: Could Microsoft Lose by Winning? | Patexia.com
My article flies in the face of conventional wisdom — not only because it points out that Microsoft has taken on the Big Boys before and [...]
In my latest Patexia post, Buying and Selling Your Personal Data | Patexia.com, I make the unusual (for me, anyway) observation that it doesn’t matter that advertisers are getting our personal info. And / or that there will come a time when our privacy is eroded so much that personal data is ubiquitous, and [...]
Just kidding. Canalys didn’t REALLY say that, of course.

In my third installment for Patexia, I give an overview of the “Patent Bubble” theory, chock-full full of glorious doom and gloom! And just for the record, I happen to LOVE The Register’s 1337 tech-gonzo tone.

The FCC has heard enough, apparently; on Friday, the Federal Communications Commission announced that enough information had been received to go forward with the review of the proposed acquisition of T-Mobile by AT&T.
