“There’s good news and there’s bad news,” said Cheng in an interview with Ars. “The good news is, we won this case on every point. The bad news is, we’re running out of lawsuits. There are fewer trolls for us to fight. I’ve spent a lot of time over the last seven years figuring out what to do with these guys. There are strategies I think would be really neat and effective that I literally can’t execute. I can’t make good law because I don’t have any appellate cases left. They [the trolls] are dismissing cases against us before any dispositive motions.”

Newegg has already won two other patent appeals this year from Kelora Systems and Soverain Software. Even though Alcatel-Lucent has billions in revenue from real businesses, when it comes to patent battles Cheng doesn’t see them as being so different. Since Alcatel is asserting patents in markets it’s nowhere near actually participating in he sees them as a kind of “corporate troll.”

Like thousands of other Ottawans, I went to ComicCon this past weekend. And while I only lasted a few hours, it was immensely fun!
My favourite part (predictably) was to sit back and watch the people walking by…some of the costumes were awesome!
And it seemed like everybody there seemed very, very happy: despite the crowds and line-ups to go see people and events, I don’t think I saw a single grumpy person there.
One thing I noticed, though, was very interesting: among the booths of artists of all stripes and metal-smiths and guilds and steam-punk accessory stands and t-shirt vendors and and and…there was a CSIS (Canadian Security Intelligence Agency) booth!
Of course, I had to know what they were doing there: recruiting!!!
They were looking for computer-skilled people – and ‘reading between the lines’, it became clear that they were looking to recruit people with some hacking skills.
‘National rates of gun homicide and other violent gun crimes are strikingly lower now than during their peak in the mid-1990s, paralleling a general decline in violent crime, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of government data.’
Gee, could that have something to do with the increase of ‘conceal-carry’ permits?
This is a longer video than most, but well worth watching.
Sebastian Gorka is not the only one to speak up about this – Stephen Caughlin has also spoken out about the reality of the ideological purges in the intelligence community on many occasions. However, Sebastian Gorka goes into the roots of the Obama ideology in a much clearer detail:
The following video is included as it focuses on he story of one of the victims of the Obama purges:
While I don’t agree with everything said, it is something to think about.
Everyday we are bombarded by horrors from the Arab-Muslim world and to many people it is unclear as whether we are in a fight against Islam the religion or Islamism the ideology.
