  1. Schneier (secretly) invented e-commerce! on Bruce Schneier on Security Tradeoffs · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The back of his previous book, 'Secrets and Lies', contained enthusiastic quotations from Mary Meeker, dotcom cheerleader at Morgan Stanley, and from Jay Walker, the founder of priceline.com. Now 'Beyond Fear' elicits yet another effusive remark from Jay Walker, now founder of U.S. HomeGuard. Is this because Schneier and Walker share the patent that invented buyer-driven e-commerce? Acknowledge the affiliation, Mr. Schneier...you aren't just slightly ashamed of this patent, are you?
