Intellectual property is not real property "If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas." -- George Bernard Shaw 2:21:30 PM    comment []

Apple claims Trade Secrets stolen by rumor web sites Dan Gillmor blogs Apple's "Trade Secrets". "Reporting on business, if this bad ruling is upheld on appeal, will be a great deal harder in the future." Andrew MacNeill posted something similar on his blog, and I started a reply in a comment there, thought a blog entry might be better, and (scope creep!), it grew into a full-fledged essay. I'm still working on that one, and it's a bit scatter-brained, but wanted to save it to disk before it vanished into the ether... net. 12:41:52 PM    comment []
