"Autodesk argued that if the judge decided that people own its software, prices will rise for end users." That's a software economics argument I had never seen. Unfortunate they don't elaborate on the foundations.

Unbelievable, I'll take the 'over the top titles' but false economic statements like: "When his seeds were used widely in 1963, Mexico instantly went from famine-prone to a wheat-exporter. Their wheat harvest was six times greater after" I

The article fails to mention the biggest players in the ad market have a vested interest in browsers and what eventually becomes 'default behavior'. I doubt they will shoot themselves in the foot or won't lobby to avoid this becoming a defa

Interesting how even the word 'acquires' is different with IBM. SPSS is in analytics software, but its a 41 year-old company. Its unlikely its founders 'planned' their exit strategy when they started. I also don't think I will see Google or

Better put 'functional programming is reinventing the way unit tests are written'. Its extremely easier to 'think of' and create unit tests on business logic that avoids using state and mutable data, as do all functional languages. On the

Interesting in various fronts * Economic That banks with the 'deal power' of Goldman and Morgan would set themselves up to the scrutiny of the Fed (adopting a commercial bank) is just amazing. These banks made the money they made and had

In practice, they have the Google home page to promote it...which is perhaps the only thing that can make a dent against something like IE which comes with the OS. It will likely affect Mozilla, though for the moment it doesn't look like it

Value was : "search arbitrage" In essence, taking a profit out of google's adwords/adsense program while google kept fine tuning its pricing algorithm. The term may sound fancy, but this business model has been questionable from the get go.
