| Ray Niro emailed me yesterday, complaining about the personal attacks being

| He also tells me he now definitely knows who I am. I'm waiting for
| confirmation, since he didn't tell me my name. Then we'll see. According to
| him, one of my "friends" turned me in for the cash. Thanks, whoever you are,
| if true.

| Meanwhile, I might as well get rid of a couple of posts I have saved, and was
| planning to post next week, when I'm not going to be able to post for various
| reasons. You know, go out with a bang, so to speak!

So much for anonymity when there's bribery. So Ray Niro isn't just
patent-trolling, but he's head-hunting too. Didn't they send a spy to PJ's
house too? Or was it just a curious 'journalist'? It's like a mafia out there.
Twelve billion euros claimed from Nokia for use of patents

| IPcom, an exploiter of patents based in Pullach, near Munich, is demanding 12
| billion euros from the Finnish group Nokia for use of mobile telephony
| patents, reports Handelsblatt. IPCom is said to have lodged a complaint with
| the Land Court in Mannheim in early January, aimed at prohibiting Nokia’s use
| of eight patent families. That would mean a ban on sales in a large number of
| countries, though what particular patents are involved is not yet clear.
