Florian Müller is in no way an independent source. He has a huge bias towards patents and against Google. He used to or he is working as a consultant for Microsoft and Oracle. Even though he used to campaign against software patents in the

I wonder, is there still someone who believes that patents are protecting the small inventors and companies? At least in the software and IT business it seems (it is clear to me) the other way around. Patents are protecting the incumbents a

Investors are not stupid or blind. Hyperloop is similar to the Maglev train technology developed in Germany and Japan for the last decades. The inventor of the maglev train even thought about hyperloop. But so far just one single commercial

I guess in 2007 everybody thought that the housing market will never ever collapse and the raise will continue forever. People, it won't. And neither will this growth. It has nothing to do with the size of the market or the number of p

Florian Müller is not an independent voice. He was/is a consultant for Microsoft and Oracle. Also he was wrong in his predictions when Oracle sued Google and I hope he wrong now too. Too bad that Groklaw had to shut down in August. We

The problem is not if Google or Apple, Microsoft & Co. are good or evil. This patent war is evil, very evil. Because it could prevent companies like Jolla, Canonical or Mozilla to release their smart phone OS world wide. Especially smal

The European Court for Human Rights is _not_ an EU court! It belongs to the Council of Europe! Journalists will never get that right I think.

I wonder to which experiment in the Weimar Republic, Cathy Reisenwitz is referring to. The reasons for the high inflation until 1923 are very well understood. And IIRC the German government knew that inflation would be caused by their polic

The real problem is, why should I trust some online voting on some web site on a computer I know nothing about. It is the hole voting computer debate again. Thankfully such a system would be impossible in Germany. Because it is impossible t

It is not about Windows 8 but about TPM 2.0. Which basically limits the control over your computer, it might be mostly harmless for private users but for governments and critical infrastructure it is not.

Actually, decentralised power sources would make high voltage lines obsolet because you can build them where you need the electricity. Centralised systems need high voltage lines around the country. Energy density is not a good measurement

Because Thorium isn't the answer. What I don't get, that people who care about technology and about freedom prefer a centralised technology like fission power over a decentralised technology like solar or wind, in combination with

The argument is wrong because coal is as bad as nuclear power. Both are limited, both are centralized systems and both have huge environmental impacts. Mining, transport, energy production, and also exhaust and waste. It should also be note

It is not so much a meltdown. Those meltdowns are rare. And most people don't die at the point of the meltdown but from the long term consequences of the meltdown. But many Nuclear supporters doesn't accept those death as consequences of th
