Wasn't there a piece - by Malcolm Gladwell - in the New Yorker a few years ago that had a section about how great Intellectual Ventures was? I guess that's another point against Gladwell from this crowd..

- kragen 15y agoThe interesting thing was that most of the piece was actually about how common simultaneous invention was. You'd think that that kind of questioning of the basis of the patent system would incline Gladwell to rip on IV, but somehow he ended up writing a puff piece. Maybe Myhrvold's personal charm won him over.
