More cherry-picked examples! BELIEVE! Apparently, since there is only one dimension in this particular argument, cobrausn believes there is only one factor in economic results. Today, anyway.

Your second part unfortunately doesn't work at all against trolls. A non-practicing entity - a company that does nothing except hold IP for the purpose of suit, but doesn't produce anything - can't violate your patents, and so can't be cou

More market-driven? It's only since people started arguing that colleges should be run like businesses that tuition has exploded. There are things that shouldn't be market-driven. Look at Germany for an example - no vouchers needed to go

Exploitation of a resource is a fact. Treating human beings as an exploitable resource is also a fact - it's the very basis of modern management. If it has negative connotations, perhaps you should examine why you feel so negatively about

what's with this fixation on Foxconn and Apple? Apple is the most successful business in history. They have literally billions of dollars in the bank. The fact that they have reached this position by exploiting international labor condi

Americans either write a single vertical stroke or an upward hook with a horizontal base line. Europeans (well, Germans and Hungarians to my own knowledge) write just the upward hook - to distinguish this from a 7, they cross the seven. Th

I think the point where Apple goes too far is the perception that too much is never enough. They're already the most successful business in history - do they really need to use lawsuits to ensure they have no competitors? The fact that the

The peak aid to Cambodia seems to have been in fiscal year 2007, at about $57 million. I'd say that dangling the carrot of trade agreements is more effective than threatening to cut off aid.

I am utterly flabbergasted to discover that you are right with respect to a working model. [ http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2012-08-09/startups-new... ] However, I think I don't "need to lose" my opinion that innovation consists of m

The automobile UI standardized far, far earlier than it was regulated. In 1905 there was a regular Cambrian explosion of steering devices - that disappeared when the Model T succeeded wildly. I suppose Ford should have patented the car UI

In the case of one-click, it's first important to note that in addition to prior art, a patent must also pass the obviousness test. One-click does not. You may not be a developer, I don't know, but I know any developer here could implemen

No. If you were operating a gas station with pumps lacking those calibration stickers, you'd get a cease-and-desist. That's the very mechanism implementing regulation of companies.

YouTube doesn't require DMCA takedowns - they just trust the copyright holder. So "no more DMCA" wouldn't even stop this. The problem is Google's fire-and-forget method of automated interaction with humans.
