Might have spilled beer on you at Cactus in 1995, lol. Did you know John Judi? I think he was still trading options then.

You’ll appreciate this on the Lucent logo:

Regarding the Lucent logo, the “Innovation Ring.” One source inside Lucent says that the logo is a Zen Buddhist symbol for "eternal truth", the Enso. Another source says it represents the mythic ouroboros, a snake holding its tail in its mouth. Carly Fiorina picked the logo because her mother was a painter and she rejected the sterile geometric logos of most high tech companies.

After the logo was compared in the media to the ring a coffee mug leaves on paper, a Dilbert comic strip showed Dogbert as an overpaid consultant designing a new company logo; he takes a piece of paper that his coffee cup was sitting on and calls it the "Brown Ring of Quality". A telecommunication commentator referred to the logo as "a big red zero" and predicted financial losses.

Re: the big boys using their muscle to kill innovation — obviously happens, as in the case of Qualcomm and NWBO.

It seems especially bad in the innovative cancer space. It takes a special kind of sociopath to prevent life saving treatments from reaching people. I believe Dante mentioned a brown ring in hell awaiting these guys, but it’s not burning coffee.
