Addicted to Woot
My friend Matt introduced me to woot.com and now I am addicted.
This a brief list of this last weeks woot.
Wednesday - $29 128MB MP3 players - $135 on Froogle
Tuesday - $39 MB Quart Speakers - Retail $150 Crutchfield
Monday - $15 for 2 Saitek wireless adapters for PS2 - $38 for 1 on Froogle
Plus every once in a while they have $1 Bag O' Crap that can contain anything from a Palm V to CD burners to whatever they have lying around.
I love woot!

First to File, Blessing or Nightmare?
After reading Eric's blog it got me starting to think about the first to file aspect of the new Patent Legislation. A first to file system will get rid of the current first to invent system. Currently if two inventors try to patent similar inventions they go to a interference proceeding where the courts determine who was the first inventor. But with a first to file system you could theoretically steal someone's invention and then patent it before them, and stake your claim. This is if you can get around all derivation questions. I will look into this aspect of the first to file system. I am sure that it will be based on the European system. Let me know what you think.
