Paul Allen

Paul Allen seems to have gone rogue. He is sueing everyone except his grandmother, although I am sure if she doesn't work for Microsoft or Amazon that may also be in the works. It seems that he feels companies like EBay, Google and Oracle have violated patent laws. He had a small think tank company in the last century that filed a bunch of patents on various baseline technologies. I am not struck by the fact he wants money especially given the most recent performances of the Blazers and Seaturkeys. But what does surprise me (NOT) is that he excluded behemoths Amazon and Microsoft. Oh that's right, he still owns a butload of MS stock and Amazon just recently rented immense space in his south Lake Union complex. Too bad, Microsoft has been batting Ofer on lawsuits lately.
