grimey27··on Exposing Patent Trolls
Very cool.
grimey27··on This Is the Scariest Statistic About the Newspaper Business Today

grimey27··on Steve Jobs would never have written this post
Steve Jobs was smart enough to pivot when a market opportunity arose, despite what he said previously.
grimey27··on Patent Trolls: Make Them Pay
