| good morning | Dec 20 11:28 | |
| the news about Issa's Federal Judge Patent training course was disturbing enough for me to look into Issa. | Dec 20 11:29 | |
| A slew of decisions by "trained" neophyte judges will not make the broken US patent system any better, it will just speed up the damage it does. | Dec 20 11:30 | |
| Needless to say, I found some Microsoft taint to Mr. Issa. His Directed Electronics company is famous for a car alarm with his menacing voice telling people to, "please step away from the car." This is the much advertized "Viper" also one of the first systems that could be programed with a PC. | Dec 20 11:34 | |

| The interaction with Microsoft back in early 1990s seems natural but the taint of the association lingers. We can assume that Issa's views on patents were formed by that early association and from being a software owner in a very dirty and menacing business. The company still serves it's web site with Microsoft ASP, ick, and as late as 2007 the company was a Zune partner. | Dec 20 11:39 | |

| By the way, my impression of the Viper car alarm was that it was an over active nasty that menaced people walking by cars. I used to live across the street from a huge parking lot and there was always one of those damn things going off. | Dec 20 11:59 | |
| Directed Electronics was in the aggressive insecurity market long ago. | Dec 20 12:00 | |
| The attitude is to fortify and isolate yourself from your zombie neighbors. | Dec 20 12:00 | |

| Directed Electronics was Issa's company. He's the one setting up the patent boot camp for Federal judges. | Dec 20 12:03 | |
| Issa's background and attitude can be used as a predictor of what kind of training the judges receive. | Dec 20 12:04 | |
| The most relevant thing is what you caught - that there will be six new district courts hearing patent cases in the US. My fear is that they will all be like East Texas. | Dec 20 12:08 | |

| It's good to get Rep. Darrell Issa into logs where the information can be found again. | Dec 20 12:14 | |
| His Microsoft associations are not readily apparent because the seem to have happened before the www was around. | Dec 20 12:16 | |
| I've researched how Microsoft wrapped their tentacles around all sorts of automotive stuff in the past. | Dec 20 12:20 | |

| Car alarms are a symptom of a society that has neglects and fears it's neighbors, as are the need for commuting and cars in the first place. | Dec 20 12:38 | |
| It is not good to see the very voice of such things telling Federal judges how to rule in patent cases. | Dec 20 12:39 | |
