It isn't a bubble. Until Congress and/or the courts change the rules, the fundamentals are very, very strong.

- rustynails 14y agoThe fundamentals of patents may be very strong, but IIRC, the same does not apply to software patents, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_patents_under_United_States_patent_law http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_patents_under_United_S... IIRC, this discussion still needs to take place. I really, really hope that software patents are knocked on the head, unless there is true science, such as a complex algorithm, which should have a limited life of a few years AT MOST, otherwise my litmus test of "harm to society" is met.
