Bye Bye Business Method Patents

I haven't read things carefully yet (I'll leave that for the bathroom this weekend) but from the quick analysis I've read (In re Bilski: Patentable Process Must Either (1) be Tied to a particular machine or (2) Transform a Particular Article) it looks like it is a strong, unambiguous decision in the good fight to eliminate ridiculous patents.
Wrestling, Ratings and Guerrilla Marketing

Staying Current and Adjusting in the Retail Business
In the not too long ago past there were three main sources of live news; TV, newspaper and the radio. This older format allowed people to either look at or not look at what was being presented by the media. Nowadays, there are countless sources of live news, thanks to the Internet. So, with so many sources of news, I select only the subject matter I am interested in and sources that I find to be accurate; hence "selectively". It is obvious that we are in an economic crisis, which is old news. But it wasn't old news back in September or October of 2008. I knew that the economy was being steered into a storm, like nothing I had ever seen before.

Yes You Can Change Your World - But Change Begins With You
They say that in a corporate environment it can take years for someone to get promoted, quit, or die so that you can move up. However, one’s ability to move forward to the bigger office, bigger responsibility, or bigger paycheck is only limited by words and thoughts. Someone who understands the power of a positive mindset, moves freely up the ladder of success, while their water cooler mentality counterpart remains stuck in his puddle of negativity.

Ten Commandments of Leadership-Not Being a Wimp
Wimp. Wiener. Coward. Spineless. Jellyfish. And more not fit to print. All are words used to describe someone who lacks courage. The courage to do the right thing. The courage to confront. The courage to object. The courage to take risks. The courage to take a different path. All of these are needed characteristics of effective and winning leadership.

Appreciate Your Adversaries, III
Who are your "adversaries" these days? You probably have one or two (hopefully not a lot more than two) people who seem to oppose you in work, and in life.
