I've enjoyed since com-priv days, the rise of the Internet - Thank you. 20/20 hindsight shows the Internet grew without statutory jurispudence. Is that statutory blackhole in which the Internet now lives responsible for holding back growth and development of Internet economies, digital cash and cyber laws that are truly global w/o jurisdictional boundary?
If a global medium is not able to support global economy, however does the world escape market constraints bounded by juridictional rules, regs, statutes and accords to enable freedom of exchange, trade, commerce and rising World-wide economic tide?
The government was robbing the General Fund when taxes went into it for programs and projects back in the late 60's. The answer for it was because it could and there was nothing stopping the Gov't from doing so...
The rest is history and coincidence that the failures occurred on Boomer's watch. Failure was designed into the gov't and anyone who has ever analyzed Social Security could have told you.
No accounting for the fact that putting a man in space is the most expense and bassackwards excuse to self-indulgence, now there's a new holier than robots excuse. Well keep at it NASA! Anything to get funded one more decade, right?
Only a scientist could understand the need to test outside a sterile laboratory environment full scale with the hubris to mock Reality by charging for it and then certifying the inanity soliciting a self-serving kind of captive tourism to pay rent while caught in its nightmare
You don't appreciate technology until you understand the function it serves and problem solved. Fax orginated as battlefield deployment solution to get maps and text into the right hands.
Today, nothing has changed. It is the weapon of choice to enlist support, disseminate and communicate on the battlefields. Only the location has changed. And the win-win with FAX is its ability to run unattended, bombproof reliability and that receipt verification is the gold standard guarantee of undeniable success in the chain of communication.
Speed has nothing to do with the fact that its importance is Fax's ability to deliver guaranteed. The physical paper output assuredly enforces every fax must be ' handled' at the receiving end irregardless how much timeshift it pushes itself onto the receiver.
That is one critical factor no amount of email, voicemail nor text message can compete against.
Waaaaaaaay too much rationalization after the fact.
Steve Jobs doesn't do anything which doesn't promote the sale of ever-more Apple product. Newton cult-candy to the Apple fanboys was a personal kill of Steve Jobs precisely because it fostered the market mythos that Apple was just and would only be a ' cult company' selling to niches.
Pay attention! Lesson #1: Beat the competition at their own game. Steve Job's NeXT OS was _the_ solution to saving Apple. How? Steve Job's knew that he could revise and release new versions every six months. Microsoft could not. At best, MS would release every 3 years. Steve deliberately set out to obsolete the competition reminding the public 2 times yearly that the system if not the hardware they were using was not new, in fact it was old. So old that depending when MS released new version update to Windows could be many generations behind shipping Apple products released with new version software. At best the competition could answer with updates not new versions.
Lesson#2: Build strong bridges! Extending the same OS across multiple products familiarized, homogenized and reinforced users confidence and use of technology in products that ' Just Work'. MacOS X, iPod, iPhone, iPad etc... Just Work!
Lesson#3: Real Developers Ship! Adding features and fixing problems by incremental updates was the competition's technology edge contained in Service Packs. Steve Jobs embodied features in new hardware products eliminating altogether the very promiscuous idea that hardware could simply be improved, serviced and maintained. Apple invented, obsoleted and superseded existing products, competitor and Apple alike, shipping real products, real improvements and unique solutions to new problems. Ship, Ship, Ship!
Lesson#4: Forget Big Money! Enterprise, corporations and institutional solutions have an inertia all their own. Not easy, not quick and deathly prone to crisis with $$$$$$ attached to failures. Steve Jobs NeXT OS was banned from sale outside the US for National Security reasons. NeXT ' eliptical encryption' assigned munitions grade requiring registration with the US to use. And NeXT hardware was part and parcel dangerous in the wrong hands. Exactly what Big Money needed to compete was too dangerous to sell.
Lesson#5: Trust the Markets: Intel processor switch taught Steve Jobs that the sheer depth of talent, scale of economy and inherent competition eclipsed all innovation in the sandbox. Given incentive to earn % of a larger marketshare, engineers, designers and developers produce far superior products than proprietary innovation can surpass. Thank you Microsoft and the installed PC hardware infrastructure Apple went mainstreame never looking back at MOTO.
Lesson#6: Listen to your Customer! iPod taught Apple that the next Big Thing is in the marketplace not the lab. iPAD/iOS acknowledges Consumer intelligence shipping a product in search of a solution and waiting for the market to find it.
Lesson#7: Nothing motivates a man standing in a leaking boat water up to his knees with a bucket at hand... Steve Jobs was a man who had been Dx with a named disease, chronic if not fatal. Single-minded purpose puts meaning in Life. Steve didn't have time to run a democratic corporation, governance by committee nor achievement by popularity poll Steve Job's had time to ' stay hungry, stay foolish' and ship a product for which there was no market nor answer to a problem waiting to be solved...

There is a misperception that is being abused that the protein fragments which cause people to become sick are NOT the problem. This article goes on to further confuse the notion that gluten sick people need only de-sensitize themselves to the allergen in wheat, oat, barley or rye. The findings isolate gluten protein peptides as the culprit.
The problem has been the fact that wheat is not a naturally occurring food. Wheat is a hybrid, the result of 8000 years ago in the Mesopotamia combining of a grain and a grass to produce what today is known as wheat, a hybrid grass/grain. The problem is that man cannot eat grass (unlike cows with 4th stomach) therefor every human being consuming wheat passes the grass protein fragments through the gut undigested and out. Thousands of years of hydridization of wheat to produce more yield, higher fortification, stouter, stronger and more concentrated in modern times has produced worldwide a 1: 133 intolerance rate in humans. For these people the body's natural immune system responds to those protein fragments (long i.e. 13 chain fragments) as foreign invaders and proceeds to a full cytokine storm reaction.
Celiac disease describes people who suffer the effects of the bodies immune destruction of healthy tissue and organs to rid itself of foreign matter harmful to the system. There is harm from the immune system damaging their body set off by exposure to gluten (long chain) protein fragments. Celiacs cannot de-sensitize themselves to an allergen. They simply cannot tolerate long chain protein fragments. There are people for whom wheat _is an allergen_ and they may respond to desensitivity training but this does not include people who have Celiac disease.
The good news. This narrows the culprits down to 3 peptides. There is reason to believe that these peptides can be treated, removed or modified in processing to avoid gluten intolerance in the first place. It does not imply that Celiacs are responsible for de-sensitizing themselves to the 3 known peptide offenders. It doesn't work that way, in all due respect to the chaps in Australia to the contrary.
Wasn't it a core value of the Internet that it was abstracted above limitations of juridical boundaries, political division and secular belief systems to provide redundant fail-safe communication world wide enabling human progress in the face of systemic failed governance?
How does advocating _for_ juridical application of the 4th virutally annexing "the cloud" as the 51st state... tell me again how that abstracts the medium above the landscape.

Less than 10% of the profit-stream is attributable in my experience to patent technologies. True value is that other 90% brought to the market by the corporation in design, development, marketing and support.
Waaay toooo much emphasis is placed upon technology in the value chain of venture building capital. Toooooo little protection is afforded by USPTO to protect by patent alone the great ideas and inventions.
Sell the idea/tech to the VC community who are best equipped to monetarize a marketplace solution to the problem you've solved. A 10% or less share after all is said and done is huge for the inventor.

Transitional schemes bridge us to the next heuristic interface which hasn't evolved yet to mass market technology.
Voice .vs. touch will define the future as technology obviates the necessity to command .vs. control.
This case involved a patent that runs a cumulative series of tests and applies an either/or not rule.
Either it is a Duck or/not...
Microsoft semantically performs a cumulative series of test and applies an either/or rule
Either it is a License or/not
EULA/MD5 notwithstanding the test remains. That test is patented.
The judge just refuses to accept the rule by peer reasoning in favor of the technical inuendi
