CobWEBs Daily Edition podcast: Abused patents, gratuitous blogging – isn’t technology grand

Posted on December 23, 2009 by Steven Hodson
1 Comment

cbn1-podpost Tonight’s show with myself and Sean covers a few topics but with a common underlying thought – there are important things out there that need to be talked about but Twitter and Facebook banalities win out.

While the larger news was Microsoft being told it lost its appeal and would have to make changes to Word or not sell it Sean and I look at the underlying problem with patent abuse and how it is hurting innovation. This lead right into a brief discussion about copyrights and how they are being attacked in different countries around the world.

We finish up with a few thoughts on the ridiculous discussion that has popped up once again about RSS feeds and readers.

    Thanks for the comments again, guys. I didn’t want to follow up my “steak” post from Saturday with “Chinese food”, so that led to today. As I wrote in a comment to Steve Rubel’s post (http://www.steverubel.com/as-the-decade-closes-has-rss-faded-too)…

    “I am waiting for all those people who can’t wait for RSS to die to turn off their feeds. They can join those bloggers who say blogging is dying and shut down their blogs. More opportunity for those of us who continue to do things the right way.”
