So I went to the IV dog and pony show. There was maybe 1 project that was actually interesting out of ~dozens. They don't have the technological research base to actually finish a project in house, so I think they tend to spin stuff out. Example (with dubious prospects): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TerraPower

IV hasn't gone after the little guys yet, so I find the Lodsys-type guys a lot scarier.

Isn't Lodsys strongly linked to IV? As in, they're playing the shell game?

From what I have read from other hacker news threads, there is no evidence of that (and Lodsys apparently denies it).

Digging around, the only connection I could find was IV selling Lodsys some of its patents. Not much evidence for an actually connection, much less shell game.
