From your second linked article: "In East Texas, juries are often older people who have less experience with technology and tend to view large corporate defendants with suspicion..." First, most of these cases are deliberately filed in Marshall, TX, an out-of-the-way rural town that's not exactly renowned for its experience in IT. Second, all this proves is that patent troll lawyers can simply "baffle them with bullshit" and I don't think that this specific location matters. The Eastern District of Texas has a secondary court in Plano, and Plano has been home to a variety of technology companies. You'll notice they're not filing in Plano where they'd be far more likely to encounter potential jury members who are familiar with terms like "hyperlink" and "web sockets."
