    khendron writes "The Globe and Mail has published an article titled Patently Absurd, detailing the whole history of the RIM vs. NTP wireless war. It is a blow by blow account of how a dispute that could have been settled for a few million dollars is now 'a billion-dollar dagger hanging over RIM.' The article reads like a fairy-tale of egos, legal blunders, and patent stupidity."

  2. What Happened to IDEA?

    insomniac asks: "Recently we decided to purchase a Cryptographic Service Provider to plug into the infamous JCA. On their Web site they have links to information regarding the various patents for crypto algorithms. One of them is IDEA. They link to the Web site of the owners of the patent. However, the company was bought out recently by Entrust. I've had no response from them regarding the status of the IDEA patent, and further searching has shown up a surprising lack of info on IDEA's current status. I also noticed the recent Ask Slashdot on choosing encryption algorithms contained very little regarding this algorithm. So what happened? Has the patent forced it out of circulation? Or did someone discover a serious vulnerability?"
