This week’s recommendation

August 3rd, 2006

This week is quite an easy one - the Internet has been rife with discussion around the Blackboard patent. As crazy as this patent seems, are we that surprised and can you really blame Blackboard? Like most commercial ventures they want to put any competition out of business - that is the way business works - the fact the patent was awarded is the crazy part!
