Nigerian Company Sues OLPC

d0ida writes on the continuing troubles at the OLPC Association. Adding to the recent difficulties — the BBC has picked up the litany — a US-based, Nigerian-owned company has now filed a patent-infringement lawsuit against OLPC. Lagos Analysis Corp. claims that OLPC "made unauthorized use of LANCOR's multilingual keyboard technology invention in XO laptops." The suit was filed in Lagos.

    (3b) Nobody knows what intelligence is, except that "it is what is measured on an IQ test", and what, then, is an IQ test? "Oh, it's a test that measures Intelligence Quotients!" (definition-by-infinite-recursion).

    Since we don't know what IQ is, it follows that we cannot know whether it is innate or not. IQ test scores tend to be stable for a person over time, but that is correlation not necessarily causation.
