Dear CNN: Patents Are Not A Proxy For Innovation

,----[ Quote ]
| We've seen it over and over again in the 
| press. They love to assume that the number of 
| patents being filed is a proxy for 
| innovation. There's just one (large) problem 
| with that. Multiple studies have shown no 
| connection between patents and innovation. 
| But, don't tell that to the reporters at CNN 
| who are fretting about how the "recession" 
| has taken its latest victim: US Innovation. 
| This is ridiculous on so many levels that 
| even patent system defenders are disagreeing 
| with CNN. First, CNN bases this on a 
| minuscule 2.3% decline in patent filings, 
| despite a massive growth in patent filings 
| over the past fifteen years.

CNN using Drupal

,----[ Quote ]
| Cable news network CNN just released
| CNNgo.com into beta, fully developed with
| Drupal. CNNgo is a guide to six of Asia's
| greatest cities. What is interesting about
| the site is that they are looking to
| complement their professional editors with
| local bloggers, opinion makers, and the very
| people that form the soul of these cities.
