Happy to be taking all my other inventions with me.

Happy to be of no further use to the planet.

Just like the patent system - since some idiot invented patent attorneys.

Indian Capital Delhi bans Uber's surge pricing

With all due respect, Mr Chief Minister, if you want to reduce traffic jams and CO2 pollution, you need to allow surge pricing. Esp if their regular fares are below taxis.

I think that is what my driver was trying to say to me - had I been able to understand him. He had a horrible cough, near a death rattle - to avoid catching it I was trying to breath 'through my derierre' to put it politely.

Laid him on the back seat, jumped in the drivers & got myself home. He parked under a tree for a few hours, then was gone -

And I tipped him.

We'll buy patents for cash, says Google – just don't feed the trolls

Re: "First to file"

"It's not the antithesis of a patent system. It's the epitome of a patent system"

No system that does not irrevocably recognise the first to invent as the inventor is in any way shape or form a patent system.

Perhaps a patent attorney industry enrichment system or something like that, but absolutely not a patent system.

Re: "First to file"

So it doesn't matter to you to find out who the real inventor was?

So Bell, then, was the inventor of the telephone, according to you?

If the planet is to survive, we need to end the lawyer orgy that is the current patent system. As I said, it kills many inventions, also the odd inventor.

Real inventors must be recognised & rewarded - we we will find many inventions & solutions coming forward, that might give 'civilisation' a chance.

1) I accept full responsibility for the following post.

2) I can prove all the following, that is stated as fact. You have my email.

Be good if they would buy inventions, not patents. I swore after the European Patent Office stole an invention of mine in 1988 that I would not give the patent attorney industry one more razoo.

Entire patent act is written advantage patent attorney industry. Inventions die, (bad luck), some inventors too (oh dear, more bad luck).

USs' best inventor created so much wealth for the US - also helped win the war, with a contribution perhaps as great as that of Alan Turing; now nobody knows his name. Hounded to death by the patent attorney industry, he jumped from the 13th floor after his wife walked out - because she could not stand it any more, either. All but singlehandedly he had taken radio from cats whiskers and horn trumpets to high fidelity FM. Provided unjammable communications to the allies, when the axis only had jammable AM.

RIP, E.H.A.

Another guy, concerned with the high level of software piracy on commercial software, invented the system that allowed downloading of the full package for trial, then if you like it you buy a software ‘key' which then allows it to be saved, printed etc etc. Took it to Microsoft - they had a huge problem with their software being stolen.

Microsoft promptly stole it.

He got justice, ultimately; better part of 500 mill.

Another guy, possibly naively, trying to make peoples lives better; got dumped on by the media; he innocently thought they had made a simple mistake, requested an apology; absolute refusal; he resorted to 'unconventional methods' to get their attention, went to jail. Now in jail a second time, as a further result of the medias hit piece.

Corporate sport for many big cos is inventor baiting - like bull baiting, bear baiting, etc. Offered one co an award winning invention; patents, orders, running production line; 1 mill. Na. Shortly after, parent co boasted how they had spent 1,050 million dollars, changing a 3 blade razor to a 4 blade razor.

Intel had a problem; CPUs melting. I thought they might be interested in my CPU cooler which performs (measured - hand built prototype) almost 3 times better than the next best cooler. (∆T = 0.167°C/W)

Intel promptly forwarded my correspondence to my competitor. (Competitor told me!). Google ‘Inventors, do not trust Intel’.

Now I have a dilemma; new invention, for EVs - 'might just help to save the planet' type stuff - however US has now implemented ‘First to Steal’ aka 'First to File’ - the very antithesis of a patent system - do I just make it, & mark it ‘Patented by Smith & Wesson’?

Your advice please!

"Twat would work"

Them spell checkers sneak up on you sometimes -

You are right; the misunderstanding, I think, comes from a misreading of the Sin of Onan. Onan was smited, many believe, for spilling the seed; but it was not that that god smote him for, but for his refusal to impregnate his widowed sister in law. (Who, incidentally, was widowed by gods hand, but thats just a by the by -)

Intel reveals 14nm PC, declares Moore's Law 'alive and well'

Re: Moore's law

Mikel said "After 7nm in X and Y, they start to go Z. In flatland the energy savings from diminishing node sizes has been sacrificed on the altar of clock speed. 1.2 GHz seems to be the sweet spot for low power, so massively powerful towers of 8 core 1.2GHz 7nm cpus thousands of layers thick seems to be the way forward. A datacenter - in your pocket.

Now: what to use it for."
