| The visa stalemate has prompted some companies to expand overseas. In 
| September, Microsoft opened its first software-development center in Canada, 
| saying it enabled the company to recruit and retain highly skilled 
| people "affected by immigration issues in the U.S."

Patent troll? Say it ain't so, Paul Allen

,----[ Quote ]
| Digeo is a company that's famous for two things, and neither of them is
| the product it makes. Thing One: it is funded by Vulcan, the venture
| company owned by one of the iconic figures of the computer business,
| Paul Allen, co-founder of Microsoft. Allen is also the chairman of
| Digeo's board. Thing Two: Digeo has done far better extracting licensing
| fees for its patent portfolio out of companies like Palmsource and,
| presumably, Yahoo, than it has selling its interactive-TV systems.

Linux and FlipStart

| FlipStart miniature computer had been tested for use with the open-source 
| operating system...

Review: the Little Laptop That Can't

,----[ Quote ]
| I wanted to write this review on the FlipStart -- I really did. But 
| after a few sentences, my wrists hurt, my thumbs felt clumsier
| than ever, my eyes were scrunched and my shoulders were hunched.
| When the pricey FlipStart hits the market the last week of March,
| I bet I won't be the only average consumer who takes a pass.
