Near-Death Company Springs To Life,

Near-Death Company Springs To Life,
Thanks To Found Patents 03/31/2005 07:20 AM
Dan writes "Ampex is another company resorting to an arsenal of patents to keep themselves alive. Now, their stock price price has taken off." This story is an interesting one. The company has been around for quite a long time, and obviously has done some very innovative things over the years. However, its patent windfall seems like a fluke. It certainly doesn't sound like any of the companies they've convinced to cough up these millions of dollars really made use of these patents -- they just came up with the same concepts independently. That, of course, demonstrates the weakness of the patent system. The point of the patent system is to publicize the info, so that others can build on top of it, while compensating the original creator. The problem, though, is that if innovations are done entirely separately of the patents in question, then you could easily make the claim that the original patents aren't valid. They should only have been granted if they were "non-obvious" and if others are coming up with the same thing independently, it's difficult to claim it wasn't obvious to the skilled practitioner. Either way, while the article suggests Ampex is trying to build a business model out of this, it's hard to see how it's sustainable for more than a few years. Sure, they're creating a licensing program, but the patents will run out in a few years -- and they realistically lucked into this patent windfall. They've just been hanging onto them for years, and suddenly noticed they were relevant. That's not a sustainable business model, but a lucky windfall.

Being towards death Hanan Cohen intertwines the mortality of blogs with our own mortality: We think that we will live forever. We think that the files we have stored on machines powered by electricity will also live forever. Our files have no other purpose than to be online. We think that if our files are not available to the web, they are dead. In a way, thinking about the death of our files is like thinking about our own death. Meanwhile, over at Ereignis, the English-language Heidegger site, there's a link to Christopher Ellis' article that argues that Heidegger's ideas...

PC Mag Says Death to 802.11b (Almost)

PC Mag Says Death to 802.11b (Almost) 04/29/2004 04:15 PM
PC Magazine rounds up several 802.11g routers, and says they're cheap enough, they're good enough: 802.11b no longer enjoys a large enough (or any) price differential for quality Wi-Fi gateways that include WPA encryption support, PC Mag says. So while you can still find 802.11b devices on the market, they recommend new gear have 802.11g built in. The overall package of reviews and related stories in the issue starts here; use the table of contents at the right of that story to navigate through their guide to 802.11g, advice for buying, and reviews of individual routers. The Linksys WRT54G gets top marks for 802.11g with a score of 4.5 out of 5 points; but six other gateways received 4 of 5 points, showing how the entire Wi-Fi world has matured into more usability....
