Court has moved to a private session now -- attorneys only, no public allowed. So live tweets are over for the day. But there's a lot of detailed back & forth between the attorneys and judge in those links.

Not necessarily. IBM has had 20 consecutive quarters of declining revenue [1]. They continue to buy back stock, adding $3B to their repurchase program last year. They've bought back stock furiously since 1999 [2]. It's a defen

Why would those embargoed reviews start to count after she paid Yelp? That is what the Yelp salesperson is implying. Embargoed reviews shouldn't suddenly have more legitimacy due to her buying ads on the site. Something is shady her

My wife runs a small business and is furious with Yelp. She gets a lot of 5 star reviews, legitimate ones from customers she knows, but Yelp embargoes lots of them and doesn't display them on her Yelp page. She gets frequent cold cal

Interesting statement here from the judge and Uber's attorney (Gonzalez). Gonzalez worked for Alsup at some point in their careers. Judge Alsup: Look. I want you to know I respect both sides here. And everyone knows I know Mr. Gonzále

Well, Microsoft often doesn't get the benefit of the doubt because of their history of incredibly aggressive, borderline unethical behavior. Being a convicted monopolist tends to color people's attitudes to a company. Let alone

Does anyone else remember this New Yorker profile [1] of Anthony Levandowski and self driving cars? Way back from 2013, when this tech was still novel. Google let Levandowski run the show for this piece -- his name is mentioned 57 times i

Hard to tell (on my mobile screen anyway), but this was written by John Perry, philosophy professor at Stanford [1]. I've been a huge fan of his ideas on this for ~20 years. He has a number of other light essays. His website appears

Interesting. So price will not factor in? And, will a luxury car be expected to have better self-driving awareness/features than a cheaper car? And before it hits commodity state, what if Waymo's Chrysler minivans and GM's

Microsoft always seems to prefer going on offense rather than playing defense. They are one of the least self-aware companies I can think of. For example, this absolutely insane "funeral march" for iPhone and Blackberry they hel

I don't believe his narrative for a second. He's in this for the money, period. He peddles lies for a living, and also is lying about "publicly denouncing" anything.

Microsoft wants to have its cake and eat it too. Embrace open source and Linux by publishing projects on GitHub and joining the Linux foundation, while simultaneously sucking the lifeblood out of it by being a patent troll.
