The one at the back of Superfreakonomics is weird. I thought that suddenly I was reading a different book. It honestly doesn't feel like the same authors.
Could it be a kind of ad? Can you approach a powerful publisher and buy yourself a chapter in a book that is likely to be a best seller?

The day is not far that Patent Troll Inc.s and their brethren will be thrown under the democracy bus. It is a matter of when, not if.
And it won't need a revolution, just enough in-fighting, a bit more alienation of the masses; which will be reaching critical mass soon enough given the number of entrepreneurs and small businesses paying licensing fees a.k.a. "Troll Tax" to these IP warehouses (whorehouses?).
I eagerly wait for the day this blows up in IV and friend's faces.
