WSJ breaks down lawyer's potential
winnings from SCO v IBM

WSJ breaks down lawyer's potential
winnings from SCO v IBM 11/06/2003 10:03 AM
This WSJ article says attorney David Boies could see $49.4 million or more from representing SCO in its $3B lawsuit alleging IBM stole trade secrets over Linux software-- even if SCO's case is unsuccessful.

Documents SCO recently filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission say the Lindon, Utah, software firm "is in the process of finalizing" a deal with its counsel. Under the agreement, SCO would pay the lawyers 20% of the proceeds of "a sale of SCO during the pendancy of litigation." SCO is suing International Business Machines Corp.

In 4 p.m. trading on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market Wednesday, SCO was at $17.87, giving the company a market capitalization of $247 million. If SCO sells at that price, the Boies firm would be entitled to $49.4 million -- and probably more with the premium that usually comes in a takeover.

Media lawyer's bl0g from Grokster
hearings 03/30/2005 04:32 AM
Cory Doctorow: The Media Access Project's Harold Feld attended yesterday's Grokster hearing and has blogged his impressions of the proceedings:

Don Virelli led off for the recording industry. He began with the assertion that Grokster's P2P software has no legitimate uses. The justices reacted skeptically. "Didn't the court below find lots of legitimate uses, such as distribution of public domain works or distribution of works authorized by the rights holders, even if the vast majority of traffic was arguably infringing?" Virelli stuck to his guns, thus falling prey to the trap that has undermined industry so many times in this fight: they over sell.

Scalia then started in on innovation: "But what about inventors? How will they know what people will use this for? Do they get a free ride for a few years to see if the predominant use is infringing or non-infringing?" Again, Virelli went too far. "In reality, these people don't get sued just for inventing stuff" he claimed, while the entire bar section rolled its eyes. Again, the Justices weren't buying. "Inventors need certainty they won't be sued or they won't invent," said Breyer.

Lethal Lunch

Lethal Lunch 03/14/2005 06:01 PM

« A pair of snowmen in the park. Is it just me or did there seem to be a lot fewer snowmen around town this year? »

There is one detail in the structure of the Finnish workday that remains a bit strange; lunch. In the US, few workplaces have a cafeteria and most folks either eat at their desk or drive to the nearest Taco Hell and make a run for the border in their car. Lunch is an unceremonious affair if people take a lunch at all. I spent years either working instead of lunch or eating a sandwich at my desk somewhere around 2pm. Here, lunchtime is 11am and it seems, with rare exception, that everyone heads to the cafeteria and has a hearty, hot lunch. I presume that since few people have cars that driving off the rez for eatz just isn't possible, so a large majority just eat in. Lunch still feels like a guilty pleasure even though I've grown used to the 11am schedule, but the food....well, no.

My weight hadn't changed by more than a kilogram or two in 10 years until I started eating lunch at the cafeteria at work and I'm starting to suspect that the Finnish lunch is, in fact, deadly. Actually, I don't think my diet has really changed at all, except for the work cafeteria food, for the past 3 months so it must be responsible for my expanding landscape. I had heard rumous about the Finnish cafeteria food, but the scathing reviews didn't come close to the reality. It's not an all-you-can-eat buffet and I'm not snarfing heaping globs of the grey, unidentified goo that the cook feels compelled to stand next to and reassure the diners that it really is edible and does taste good in spite of the colour. The cook also seems to love curry for those days where the leftovers are 'repurposed' by putting them into a bright yellow curry goo and served with rice. When the entree isn't grey or curry yellow, it's brown. Rice, pasta and au gratin potatoes of some variety are a fixture. It's all the food that the videos in health class warned you not to eat. I keep imagining that we'll watch someone keel over from a massive heart attack in the middle of a mound of pyttipannu topped with 2 or 3 fried eggs. You know it's a bad day when most tables have salt, pepper and/or HP sauce being passed around as they did today. I never take the dessert, often a vat of an unknown gloop, since I generally prefer a dessert with texture even if the stuff happens to taste good. And water is the only beverage since Finnish cafeterias haven't been bought by the soft drink conglomerates which leaves a variety of milk products and a slightly alcoholic beer called kotikalja that, even at 1% ABV, I just can't bring myself to drink during working hours. Perhaps Martha Stewart's next book could be on mess hall/cafeteria/prison cooking in an attempt to help prisoners everywhere get a decent meal. We can only hope.

I really must stop eating lunch in the cafeteria every day and start riding my bike to work again soon instead of sitting on the bus so that I'll hopefully be able to avoid what really terrifies me most: shopping for new clothes. In Finland.

Lunch at Buck's

Lunch at Buck's 05/06/2004 05:36 PM

I had lunch at Buck's today.  Believe it or not, it was my first time.  Despite countless lunches with VCs, I somehow never had lunch there.  Joining me were Bill Harris and Louie Gasparini, respectively Chairman and CTO of PassMark Security.  Although I didn't eat much as usual, I really enjoyed the lunch.

Bill, who was CEO of PayPal and Intuit, had great stories to tell.  The ability to tell stories well is a valuable skill I wish I had but don't.  All I can manage is react intelligently or project voice to forcefully pound in a message or two.  That's second class IMHO compared to the ability to paint and animate a picture with voice.

Anyhow, I am happy that I'll be working closely with two of the nicest people in the Silicon Valley.  I'll have to try that artichoke next time when I am hungrier.  Robert, remember that lunch you owed me?

Today is one of those days when I don't feel like eating. All my favorite foods from my favorite lunch spots seem boring and unappealing to me. If I had access to an IV, I'd skip lunch, hook myself up, and get my midday sustenance that way. But as that's not an option, what should I have to eat today for lunch? Options around Grand Central appreciated. Update: I'm back... (with comments)

But like any pyramid scheme, the people who are only signing up now are getting burned. And of course, won't someone think of the children?

The Los Angeles CBS affiliate has just released a damning report on low-carb foodstuffs, in which its lab determines that many low-carb foodstuffs have far more carbohydrate content than claimed by the manufacturers ("Low-Carb Emporium claims 15 grams of carbs per bagel. Our lab found... 55").

At Subway we tested the Turkey Bacon Melt Wrap. Subway claims that it has 22 grams of carbs, while our lab results showed it at 28 grams...

At Carl's Jr., we tested the low-carb Six Dollar Burger, which the company claims has six grams of carbohydrates. Our lab results: 9 grams...

We tested TGIF's Sizzling New York Strip with Blue Cheese. TGIF claims 6 net carbs and 11 total carbs. Our lab found 20 total carbs...

Low-Carb Emporium claims 15 grams of carbs per bagel. Our lab found triple the carbs -- 55. Low-carb Emporium says they just re-did the formulas and will be getting lab reports on new formulas soon.

 This is the second in a series of essays about the book Naked Lunch, designed to introduce the book properly to new readers. Generally, people hear about the life of William Burroughs before they read any of his work. The goal of these essays is to point out the more important aspects of the work, rather than the man. This essay will deal with the use of irony and satire in Burroughs' work, and the way he uses them to highlight the hypocrisy of his time.

In Praise Of Exuberant Growth: Finding

In Praise Of Exuberant Growth: Finding
That Free Lunch 05/28/2004 05:10 PM
Business Week is running a long excerpt from a new book about the economics of innovation (tragically, Business Week believes that they need to make people click through a ridiculous number of screens to read the whole thing, when having a "single page view" would make much more sense for those of us who hate clicking over and over again and just want to read the damn article). The book is called < i>Rational Exuberance : Silencing the Enemies of Growth and Why the Future Is Better Than You Think and it talks about how risk taking and exuberant growth from innovation helps expand the economy and help so many people increase their standard of living. Considering the focus these days on people who seem more worried about how growth can destroy their jobs, this is a refreshing change. It's a reminder that the economy is not a zero sum game - and innovation helps to expand the overall pie, rather than just shift the pieces around. One of the most interesting ideas in the excerpt is to just look around at how many jobs there are today that were completely unavailable (or even unimaginable) 100 years ago. In fact, you could even make the same argument for ten years ago as compared to today. Even more important is realizing that not all of the job creation is directly attributable to the innovation, but often indirectly. For example, the article points out that massive amusement parks like Disney World in Orlando, Florida wouldn't have made sense without the innovation of commercial airline travel. When people today insist that their can be no new types of jobs in the future if our jobs are offshored or automated, just think how many jobs were created over the last hundred years for people who felt the same way, and realize that the pace of innovation, our "rational exuberance" hasn't slowed down.
