Companies that get patents but do not create products from those patents shouldn't be able to use them at all. If you have no stake in a market via a competing product that people actually buy, you shouldn't be able to use your patents to gouge money from companies that are making money selling products.
Leslie Poston, Jemm, Rah-PM 2012 and 3 other people liked this
These companies are leaches of the system and add zero value whatsoever.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
if you have an idea but not the wherewithal to create the product, you should still be compensated
- ωαřмaiden ☆TeamOtto☆
Just get rid of patents.
- Todd Hoff
Yes sure, if you can get someone to productize your idea in a timely manner, like say one year, that's fine, but otherwise no. Companies should not be able to cull together catalogs of patents purely to use those patents for profit without producing anything in the interim. And there are companies that do just that. They are a gross drag on the system at large and shouldn't be tolerated.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
You might have problems defining productize and timely (one year would be ridiculous in my mind - products sometimes take 5 to 10 years or more from idea to inception).
- Brian Sullivan
Agreed, Brian. One year may be too short of a time. 5 years would probably be a better time frame. Then again companies usually don't ask for patents until right before the product that uses the patents is about to be released.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
I don't think the primary problem is companies that actually *develop* patentable ideas and fail to turn them into products in a year or two. The primary problem--*a* primary problem, at least--is "intellectual property companies," companies that develop nothing at all but buy up patent portfolios so they can force other companies to buy licenses for patents hitherto unknown to them. Those are the true parasites.
- Walt Crawford
Yes, Walt, that's exactly who I'm talking about.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
The problem is that patents are treated like any other soft assets -- they can be sold, assigned and have individual value. I don't know how else you could classify them to achieve the effect you want. Is there some other asset class that exists that they could be assigned to or would there have to be something completely new?
- Brian Sullivan
So you want to change the definition of patent?

"Y'all, is a contraction or informal form of the phrase "you all", and is pronounced as one syllable (yawl) or two (YEW-awl). It is used as a plural second-person pronoun. Commonly believed to have originated in the Southern United States, it is primarily associated with Southern American English, African-American Vernacular English, and some dialects of the Western United States and the Midwestern United States.[1] It is also used outside the United States in the English-speaking islands of the West Indies, Sri Lankan English"

Contrary to Hollywood, Y'all is NEVER to be used when addressing just one person. My English teacher told us that Y'all was perfectly acceptable English and accepted its use, where appropriate, in class assignments.

- The Amber
y'all is not singular. It's already plural. Only people who aren't from the south try to use y'all as singular. And I use it all the time, because English needs a plural second person pronoun, and y'all is better than youse.

"All ya'll" is a clarification of the intent of the questioner. For example, if I was to ask "Ya'll going out drinking?" then I'm interesting in knowing if the group or any subset thereof is going to the bar. However, if I were to ask "All ya'll going out drinking?", then I'm more interested in whether the *entire* group is going to the bar.

Fixin' is an unusual one, I admit. It means to get ready to do something. However, if you pluralize it, it means food (fixin's).

"y'all" is better than "youse" unless you're in philly, where "y'all" will get you laughed out of a room but "youse" makes you one of the family.

Yep, y'all has plural built in. Its the equivalent of "youse guys" in the Northeast.

I always spell it wrong - ya'll. I know that is another word / contraction entirely.
- Paulette
I also spell it ya'll, Paulette. And all ya'll forgot another southernism: right quick. As in "I need to go to the store right quick".
- FFing Enigma
thanks much. :)

"you'uns" is a particular subset of "y'all" - as in "y'all can go to the concert, but you'uns gotta be back before the rest."
- ωαřмaiden ☆TeamOtto☆
We need a specialized contraction words school.

The equivalent old English would be "Ye" as in "Abandon hope all ye who enter here".

Don't be silly. A "football" is clearly something you hold and throw with your hands rather than kick with your foot, that's why it's called a umm... nevermind :)

Clearly Soccer is a nonsensical name and Football is already taken here so we should call it Kickball.

Heh well American Football is almost nonsensical since there's rarely contact between any feet and balls.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Pshaw, Kevin. Soccer is clearly the most appropriate name as it's a colloquialization of the proper term association football, so named due to the amount of different sports called football (http://friendfeed.com/itafrom...). Although, the Vietnamese think you have the right idea, calling it bóng đá, which literally means "kicking ball".

I wonder what the map would look like if it included the countries that used "football", "futbol", "fotboll", "futebol" and similar sounding variants. I believe it's "sokker" in Afrikaans and "sakka" in Japanese, but that many European languages use some variant of "football". So almost all of Central and South America and much of Africa and Europe (including Russia) would also be blue.
- Simon
Futbol in Turkish.

Still when did Ireland call football "soccer"? And I thought Aus called it "football" too. And I'm sure you could pretty much fill in the whole of Europe in blue. :-)

Kol, the link that you posted up above seems to be different than the site that espn3.com forwards to... and it seems like it might stream for me here -- maybe it has to do with it being a USA game -- actually it looks like it has to do with it being on ABC instead of ESPN --- since ABC is a national broadcast network they're probably not restricting it - and it is a different site than espn3 (espn3 doesn't have the game today)

I should add its because im sandwiched between 2 big famous football stadiums, i hear the matches and noise all the time :|
- Halil
Kol, which games are you talking about? Four matches have been played so far and I have been entertained by all of them.
- Eivind
Uruguay and France was pretty dire Eivind.
- Mark H
Ok, who is making a cup of tea right now?
- WoH: Minding her Steves
Eivind, really? Not for me. Perhaps I've watched too much football over the years but at least 2 of the matches are been poor.
- Kol Tregaskes
Mark, agree, that was awful.
- Kol Tregaskes
Hmm, did anyone think that Green's hands looked a little...OILY?
- Mike Nayyar
from iPhone
I was really drunk during that one, Mark :)
- Eivind
I think he was screened by his back from the initial strike and so he never got square to the ball. that's his excuse and he should stick with it. every "soccer" coach in America will likely us the tape as a teaching moment when training new strikers ; >
- Thom Kennon
Oguchi is still a bit better than last world cup, but he needs more, its nice to be both alumni of the same university.
- ۳۰ مرغ Loves Y'ALLLLL
Re: the vuvuzela horn... according to BBC engineers it is a B flat below middle C with a fundamental of 233Hz. If that means anything to anybody then good.
- Mark H
Here we go!
- Shevonne
Second half gets under way.
- Kol Tregaskes
Ledley King off now. Jamie Carragher on in his place. And Liverpool player. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
I predict the US will shoot on every opportunity in the second half :)
- Eivind
Eivind, me too. Why not, go for it. I would. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Should've been 2.
- Mark H
Same pressure from US - no adjustment from England. suh-weeet
- Thom Kennon
Go England!!
- Kol Tregaskes
I guess hand balls include arms?
- Mathew™ aka Youngblood
from iPhone
Yup.
- Eivind
Sometimes, even the shoulder is questionnable.
- Rene, Pro Button Pusher
Matthew, yes.
- Kol Tregaskes
Ah, be quiet, Rooney.
- Mike Nayyar
from iPhone
Rooney plays better when he plays (a little) angry. This might help matters.
- Mark H
Heskey, no!!!
- Kol Tregaskes
What a save!
- Mike Nayyar
from iPhone
Wow. Heskey is an impressively poor finisher.
- Eivind
If Heskey had scored there then his record would have been one goal in, er, every 224847 appearances?
- Mark H
A couple of close ones for England. Come on USA, defense!
- Mathew™ aka Youngblood
from iPhone
Heskey is not a finisher, he is the enabler for the finisher.
- Rene, Pro Button Pusher
(Or, that is what Heskey should be doing)
- Rene, Pro Button Pusher
Mark, LOL.
- Kol Tregaskes
In his defence, Heskey has always been a playmaker to me, someone who plays off the striker. He does that role very well.
- Kol Tregaskes
Even I know not to kick the ball right to the goal keeper.
- Mathew™ aka Youngblood
from iPhone
Kol, that's an admirable trait for a midfielder. Not so good for a striker.
- Mark H
But this works with a player like Rooney.
- Kol Tregaskes
But Rooney can also score.
- Mark H
Altidore has been a basically worthless player the entire match. Horribly underwhelming.
- Mike Nayyar
from iPhone
England looks sluggish.
- Mathew™ aka Youngblood
from iPhone
That's why I think Capello has picked Heskey to work off Rooney.
- Kol Tregaskes
Carragher doing his usual job.
- Mark H
Carragher gets a yellow! Not good for a defner with 30mins still to go. :-(
- Kol Tregaskes
Oh wow. Carra, poor move.
- Mike Nayyar
from iPhone
Danger place for a freekick.
- Kol Tregaskes
Wow! Spikes first!
- Mike Nayyar
from iPhone
I've always liked Dempsey. Not liked liked. Just liked.
- Mark H
Noo, yellow card for Gerrard. Too many yellows! :-(
- Kol Tregaskes
Go for goal!
- Eivind
3 yellow cards for England. You guys worried?
- Mathew™ aka Youngblood
from iPhone
Nope.
- Mark H
he was going for Altidore of course
- Thom Kennon
So close!
- Mathew™ aka Youngblood
from iPhone
Way too low of a chance.
- Mike Nayyar
from iPhone
I want Crouch on.
- Eivind
Good shot!
- Kol Tregaskes
something's eating my internet. Bad Virgin Media
- Iphigenie
Good save from Green.
- Kol Tregaskes
Great save
- Mark H
Fuck!!!
- Thom Kennon
sorry...
- Thom Kennon
OMG!
- Mike Nayyar
from iPhone
That was an Americanism... Kol, please dont tell!
- Thom Kennon
"Sorry" is an Americanism?
- Mark H
It's all back and and forth right now! :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
@Mark ; >
- Thom Kennon
Thom, eh?
- Kol Tregaskes
it's a great match really
- Thom Kennon
Kol, kidding about my swearing
- Thom Kennon
This is getting rather stressful now.
- Anika
Thom, oh I see. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Donavan stil has that goal locked and loaded in his boot. could be the winner - i predict @ minute 75'
- Thom Kennon
Anika, hehe, same here.
- Kol Tregaskes
I didn't know that if they had a drop of blood on their shirt, they have to change it and can't play til they til just now
- Shevonne
England is going to take their time while they are a man down.
- Mathew™ aka Youngblood
from iPhone
Everyone fears teh football AIDS!
- Mark H
ruh-roh...
- Thom Kennon
Shevonne, yep. Any blood injuries need to be tidied up.
- Kol Tregaskes
That was a very poor freekick.
- Kol Tregaskes
Univision just said a funny story about the guy who was told to get out of the game to change his shirt. He was arrested because he stole the toilet seat of a store. Hahaha
- Shevonne
yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
- Sepi ~ سپی
WTF, Lampard?
- Eivind
@Mark H: yes, it's all a liberal plot http://friendfeed.com/us-poli...
- Rene, Pro Button Pusher
Come on, come on!
- Kol Tregaskes
iron freaking curtain!
- Thom Kennon
The pace is too slow.
- Rene, Pro Button Pusher
Kol: no Gary Glitter songs, thanks.
- Mark H
Whats the record for the most comments in a feed? Just curious.
- Halil
CLOSE!
- Kol Tregaskes
in the thousands Halil.
- Carlos Ayala
if Rooney was 6'+ thats a goal
- Thom Kennon
LOL, Mark.
- Kol Tregaskes
Whew!
- Mathew™ aka Youngblood
from iPhone
12-10 shot England up
- Thom Kennon
Rene, its international football. English Premiership is faster.
- Kol Tregaskes
Wow. Ugh. I feel sick.
- Mike Nayyar
from iPhone
I know, Kol, that's why England has to up the pace, I know they can.
- Rene, Pro Button Pusher
Team USA is pretty weak on defense, faster play will break them apart.
- Rene, Pro Button Pusher
if they draw it almost is certain they both move on from the group right?
- Thom Kennon
Of course, Team USA needs to do whatever they can to slow the pace down.
- Rene, Pro Button Pusher
Halil, 1000s.
- Kol Tregaskes
disagree @Rene --- US have been dictating pace all match and it's working
- Thom Kennon
Depends on the next 2 matches, Thom. It's not guaranteed that England and USA are the best two in the pool.
- Rene, Pro Button Pusher
Thom, I think these are the two teams to go through, yes.
- Kol Tregaskes
@Thom, exactly what I mean, weak play by England.
- Rene, Pro Button Pusher
@Rene, right, yes agreed
- Thom Kennon
Never play the opponent team's speed.
- Rene, Pro Button Pusher
Close
- Mark H
Brilliant shot from Ronney!
- Kol Tregaskes
Mother of crap!
- Mike Nayyar
from iPhone
he's so freaking dangerous. never shoulda got that opportunity
- Thom Kennon
Come on England.
- Kol Tregaskes
sweet save
- Thom Kennon
SWP - hit it. Don't pass it.
- Mark H
Howard, again!
- Mike Nayyar
from iPhone
No angle. good goalkeeping.
- Rene, Pro Button Pusher
Damn Howard is good
- Shevonne
if USA keeps this up, England is guaranteed +1.
- Carlos Ayala
@Carlos Exactly!
- Shevonne
Carlos: never underestimate England's ability to snatch a defeat right at the end.
- Mark H
USA has never been consistent, England should not count on it.
- Rene, Pro Button Pusher
Nearly England, nearly!
- Kol Tregaskes
US needs to get some fresh legs in. both subs remain right?
- Thom Kennon
there we go
- Thom Kennon
Come USA, don't let Howard do all the work. Geesh
- Shevonne
This Rooney guy is pretty good.
- Mathew™ aka Youngblood
Perhaps subbing in a little too late
- Mike Nayyar
from iPhone
Gerrard/Heskey combo is looking good. :(
- Anika
Rooney is arguably the hottest striker in the world right now. certainly in Premier league
- Thom Kennon
Crouch coming on soon.
- Mark H
Messi > Rooney
- Rene, Pro Button Pusher
Thom, Messi might argue about that. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
the US has no defense and a soft offense. what a shame.
- Carlos Ayala
Matthew, he's one of our best players.
- Kol Tregaskes
There's only 1 team that has a great defense and offense: Brazil.
- Rene, Pro Button Pusher
Agree with Carlos
- Sepi ~ سپی
Donovon, so close!
- Mike Nayyar
from iPhone
US scored on England ! (I know Im a little late, but that deserves a late comment)
- echostreamer
No, Kol, Gerrard is hands down the best.
- Rene, Pro Button Pusher
Thom is buggin out. Forlan will chew up Rooney and has for years. And agreed Messi is even better.
- Carlos Ayala
Anika, they are ex-club team mates, which helps... a bit.
- Kol Tregaskes
Kol, I know. That is why I said it that way.
- Mathew™ aka Youngblood
Crouch on for Heskey.
- Kol Tregaskes
USA is getting better at soccer, but they still need to do some work
- Shevonne
OOOOOOOOOOO, you said the S word.
- Mathew™ aka Youngblood
Shevonne they need more international play.
- Carlos Ayala
FUTBOL haha
- Shevonne
the pressure keeps coming toward the U.S. goal
- Kim Landwehr
They need for the US players to be picked up by the italians and the English. Thats where global soccer lives.
- Carlos Ayala
Everyone needs more international play, its a matter of whether the International play needs you
- echostreamer
echostreamer, it was an own goal by our goalie.
- Kol Tregaskes
Don't most American players play in England? Continental Europe would be better, very different, more chess-like play.
- Rene, Pro Button Pusher
Donovan did really good when he played for Everton.
- Mathew™ aka Youngblood
What is soccer?
- Kol Tregaskes
Soccer is for suckers ;-)
- Rene, Pro Button Pusher
This game has turned frustrating. Im about to rip my hair out
- Shevonne
Kol, it was a great kick and slipped through his hands.
- Mathew™ aka Youngblood
@Shevonne: it's supposed to be like that :-)
- Rene, Pro Button Pusher
Going silent for the last 10 minutes. Let's see what happens here.
- Mike Nayyar
from iPhone
the US is going to sneak in another goal.
- Carlos Ayala
Matthew, LOL.
- Kol Tregaskes
@Mike: I don't think by being silent you can influence the game ;-)
- Rene, Pro Button Pusher
Rooney looks like a guy who wouldn't be afraid to punch a guy out to score a goal.
- Mathew™ aka Youngblood
Rooney is new Gazza :-)
- Rene, Pro Button Pusher
Hehe, sort of.
- Kol Tregaskes
We should have buried this game
- Mark H
4 on 2..that shouldve been a goal.
- Carlos Ayala
England shouldve been up by 3 by now.
- Carlos Ayala
Mark, yep, we've had plenty of chances to win this!
- Kol Tregaskes
Holden, not a bad guy to have sub in for Altidore.
- Mathew™ aka Youngblood
a tie will definitely be a disappointment to England
- Kim Landwehr
I wonder if US has been playing to a draw the whole half
- Thom Kennon
For the US a draw is a good result.
- Rene, Pro Button Pusher
Kim, not really. I was hapy with a draw before the match. Though we should have really won this one, We've had plenty of chances.
- Kol Tregaskes
I expected a draw, England might want to win it but they don't want to risk injury or red cards so they will play safe.
- Iphigenie
Rene, considering how they got the draw (the own goal) you could say that.
- Kol Tregaskes
damn that was Donovan's shot....
- Thom Kennon
It's still anyone's game.
- Kol Tregaskes
This is disappointing. We haven't been decisive enough.
- Mark H
wow...
- Thom Kennon
Donovan! Donovan!
- Thom Kennon
Four more minutes...
- Shevonne
4 added minutes.
- Kol Tregaskes
but since both teams expect to make it through in this group, they wont risk too much.
- Iphigenie
I'm glad England haven't been sitting back, though, they are still trying attacks
- WoH: Minding her Steves
Plenty of time to get a goal or two.
- Kol Tregaskes
I'd like to think we're holding back but I'm worried that this is all we've actually got.
- Mark H
I sure hope they'll try
- Iphigenie
great midfield again by US
- Thom Kennon
Crouch needs a burger. Badly.
- Carlos Ayala
That was well on side!!
- Kol Tregaskes
need a fast attack
- Thom Kennon
Offside? Huh?
- Mark H
LOL, Carlos.
- Kol Tregaskes
Game over.
- Carlos Ayala
FINAL SCORE: 1-1
- Kol Tregaskes
DONE
- Shevonne
Kol - you called it!
- Thom Kennon
Well, at least England can't say they won.
- Mathew™ aka Youngblood
Where was the England bite? We were the better team but where was that killer instinct?
- Mark H
think they will just play safe and waste 10 of all watchers' minutes? fear so too
- Iphigenie
Both teams need some 5-Hour Energy for their next matches. This is going to turn into another Group of death.
- Carlos Ayala
Well I predicted a 1-1 draw. I was happy before the match if we got a draw. But I'm disappointed we let in the very poor own goal and that we didn't any of the many chances we had. :-(
- Kol Tregaskes
When have we last seen the "England bite"?
- Iphigenie
@Carlos I have some. Ill give it to them. haha
- Shevonne
LOL@Shevonne. They need cases of it girl!
- Carlos Ayala
It wasn't an own goal.
- Mathew™ aka Youngblood
i dont think it went down on the books as an own goal. and IMO it wasnt one either.
- Carlos Ayala
Joelle: we used to have people to fear up front; Shearer, Lineker, etc. Now, it's... midfielders who sometimes score and Heskey who never does. Plus Crouch. Oooh. Frightening.
- Mark H
All in all, that was a fantastic game. Fast pace, some unlucky breaks, but overall, great effort on both sides at varying times.
- Mike Nayyar
See you guys back here- Kol, thx for hooking us up!
- Thom Kennon
Mark: Totally agree - too many media stars nowadays. Odd that the amount of money in the game in the UK seems to not have helped the quality of play :(
- Iphigenie
nice game though, all in all --shuts up now--
- Iphigenie
hey, just noticed twitter is putting icons on hashtags, cute+
- Iphigenie
Matthew, you've been watching another match then. It was definitely an own goal.
- Kol Tregaskes
Thom, no worries. Are we playing the US again then? ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Thanks for everyone joining in. I was worried we'd have no one here.
- Kol Tregaskes
I look forward to the next big match everyone is on for. What's coming down the pipe of note this weekend?
- Mike Nayyar
Algeria vs Slovenia, Serbia vs Ghana and Germany vs Australia.
- Kol Tregaskes
I'll be supporting Algeria, Ghana, and Austalia tomorrow.
- Mark H
Interesting game there ... the Altitude is affecting many players.
- Amani
Sorry USA, supporting the UK this match.
- Fossil Huntress
Sorry Uk Supporter, for England a tie in this game is a loss. USA definitely got the better part of this match. Tie = US win.
- echostreamer
?
- Kol Tregaskes
England should have got the win, sure but it's a result I would have taken before the match.
- Kol Tregaskes
Nice to hear, Fossil. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
UK has my heart for football... before this match, after and for years to come.
- Fossil Huntress
I used to love the Scottish national side back when their players had no teeth :)
- Eivind
Eivind: you liked Scotland all the way back in 2008/early 2009?
- Mark H
Hehe, yes, back in my youth :)
- Eivind
Although the score is confirmed as 1-1. I have an overwhelming feeling as though England lost the match and USA won it. Strange. Next match we have to beat em though
- Mehmet John Doguelli
they can only meet again in the finals, right?
- Chris Heath
Yea they only meet once.

http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/blogs... Not sure if anyone read/knew about this, as i just read it, but seems like ITV-HD screwed up big time...
- Halil
Yep, someone in this thread was on ITV HD and it went to adverts!!
- Kol Tregaskes
LOL, Mark. That long ago? ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Chris, I believe that's who it works. You can only possibly meet teams in your group again in the final.
- Kol Tregaskes
yeah, after the group stage it moves to a single elimination bracket tournament and the two teams from each group that pass get placed on opposite sides of the bracket so they can only meet again in the final (or i guess the 3rd/4th place game)
- Chris Heath
Yep.
- Kol Tregaskes
Damn, i missed a lively thread.
- Roberto Bonini
Where were you then, Roberto? ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Was out watching the game with friends. Did manage to sneak my iPhone out a few times tho :).
- Roberto Bonini

- Kol Tregaskes
(Germany = Win) + (U.S. = Win) = (World Cup = Win)

you didn't show your work echostreamer? B-
- Chris Heath
Proofs are World Cup problems first encountered in geometry. The object of a proof is to show the domination of Germany which proves my theorem (That Germany rules this World Cup), written as a list of math statements. Sometimes Youtube clips are added to explain if the statement is a given, or can be concluded from a given based on a proven theorem. I offer as my math proof - Michael Ballack - http://www.youtube.com/watch...
