"We'll be knocking out an olympic trivia quiz that'll allow you to test your olympic knowledge in real time. At the moment it's only live on a couple of our overseas clients (http://sify.com/sports... for one) but early next week it'll go live in the US on a couple of big sites (TBA). Its a lot of fun and worth a play." - Jon Dillon

"The Patent and Trademark Office has now made clear that its newly developed position on patentable subject matter will invalidate many and perhaps most software patents, including pioneering patent claims to such innovators as Google, Inc. In a series of cases including In re Nuijten, In re Comiskey and In re Bilski, the Patent and Trademark Office has argued in favor of imposing new restrictions on the scope of patentable subject matter set forth by Congress in § 101 of the Patent Act. In the most recent of these three—the currently pending en banc Bilski appeal—the Office takes the position that process inventions generally are unpatentable unless they “result in a physical transformation of an article” or are “tied to a particular machine.”[1] Perhaps, the agency has conceded, some “new, unforeseen technology” might warrant an “exception” to this formalistic test, but in the agency’s view, no such technology has yet emerged so there is no reason currently to use a more inclusive standard." - Paul Buchheit from Bookmarklet

A follow-up from GrokLaw: "It's one lawyer's opinion and analysis, one with a stake in the outcome. Would you like to see what another lawyer says about the subject, in contrast?" http://www.groklaw.net/article... - Simon

Let's stop pretending that we don't think these things are sexy. - Dan Kaplan from Bookmarklet

I'm thinking that grey skull suit would be perfect for a job interview...... at Blizzard - Mo Kargas

@jeffjarvis sees this as the height of curmudgeoness, but I think Hedge has a point about the importance of reporting and the dangers of this being lost. I don't see it as an either/or proposition though - David Millikin

pew pew pew - Hao Chen

Curious then what microblogging and aggregator #s would be :) - Mrinal Desai

He probably had some hot tip about a CIA operative he could out and was in a hurry. After all, one of his importance cannot be bothered with mere pedestrians. - Jeff Jones

Dracula strikes again.....blah! blah! - Trevor Dodge

I like her. Her appearances on the Colbert Report are always hilarious. - Sean Davis

it's great that she's raising awareness for photographer's rights. I wish I was in DC so I could attend these hearings and watch her grill Union Station management over their stupid anti-photography policies. - Thomas Hawk

I'm not really into politics and hadn't heard the name Eleanor Holmes before, but I'm glad I know it now. Thanks for sharing Thomas! - Justin Korn

Well, great. I didn't even proof read what I wrote. Basically, when I run into voice mail and leave a message and hear NO reply for days, I wonder if people have lost the art of replying. It's like the lottery now: You're lucky if you reach the person who wish to speak with, and even luckier if he/she returns your call. - Dave "Freedom 35"

The phone, alas, a necessary evil. But thankfully we have Caller ID. While working in Washington last year, the majority of calls I received but never picked up were from some telemarketer. Unbelievable. - Dave "Freedom 35"

very creative ... - johnpiercy

"There is no denying that photography has played a huge role in social change. You only have to look at Lewis Hine's child labor work from the turn of the last century, or Charlie Moore's seminal civil rights photographs from half a century later to see that pictures can help galvanize a society against some abominable practices." Phillip Jones Grffiths' Vietman Inc remains one of the... more... - Thomas Hawk

I still don't understand what a "social media consultant" is. I understand other fields but I'm not sure if I understand what makes, creates or what it takes to be a "social media consultant". - Candace

My guess is just being on the adopting edge of whatever is out there and being on twitter and FF to "read the pulse". But i am not an expert - Cecil Sandus

Isn't that on same level as Amway Independent Sales Agent? - Mark Forman

a great set of criteria for comment moderation - Jon Dillon from Bookmarklet

"I was a guest on a webcast about social software yesterday and the question came up about what publications can do to build community. I responded that they can’t do much and they shouldn’t even try because, with few exceptions, readers aren’t a community." - - What's your take on this can readers make a community? - Jon Dillon from Bookmarklet
