Apple declines to join Microsoft in funding patent troll Intellectual Ventures
When you talk about IV, use the name Nathan Myhrvold. Hell, they have a picture of him right there.One of the best measures we have against Mr. Myhrvold -- given that he seems interested in portraying himself as a public genius of some sort -- is to drag his name through the mud over this. He's not the guy who studied with Stephen Hawking. He's not the guy who wrote the molecular gastronomy tome. He's the very, very rich guy who wants to drag down the entire tech industry to get even richer.
