>this process will be overseen by David Kappos, the current director of the USPTO and formerly an attorney at IBM in charge of their heavy-handed patent strategy. Looks like the de…

Well you can't get divorced if you can't find a wife! I kid. I kid. But engineers strike a good balance of time at home and financial compensation. If you're making much more than …

I don't see the problem here.

For a while I thought Google would be sweeping this under the rug. Great call on Khan Academy. But the $1M spent on schweeb could have done more good elsewhere. Nobody wants to go …
