Well, he's a loon no doubt but he's kinda got a point here. It's this
overvaluation of tech stock which let to the dotcom burst, and is now
driving the pro patent lobby, desperately trying to attach value to
anything "high-tech". The IT sector is yet another pawn in the hands of
the big money wheeler-dealers. Little guy gets shit on once more.
