Non-Disclosure Agreements are for young losers, not old winners

When I was a tech journalist, it was common for large firms, Apple IBM etc to ask you to sign NDAs when showing you research stuff. They tended to fly you to the factory first, then whip out the paperwork.

I would quite happily sign - once I had struck through or amended the clauses I didn't like. That used to confuse them occasionally, but they never argued.

That must have been fun. Was there anything really groundbreaking going on that hasn't ever seen the light of day, without breaking your NDA of course :)

I signed quite a few NDAs when Taligent, OpenDoc and Copland were being brewed.

God I feel old.
