Olddog, You are right...it seems that the Forbes/IDCC article is against the lessons of Forbes itself...just an example of how they have "strayed" from their original journalistic responsibilities.

As for Golden Rule #1...this is just a rehash of the age old maxim something like..."Don't waste your time trying to strike gold...sell shovels to the prospectors".

And Golden Rule #2...Don't just sell them shovels, sell them britches, boots, and mules.

Similarly Golden Rule #3...Become the only one in town selling shovels and britches...

These things will work every time, and Forbes is making money selling what most already know.

olddog, here's an old forbes article on IDC. Think many should read it:

"When you really are the master of a technology, as we are," says Goldberg, "you can design lots of applications layers. We make the engine and the transmission.

Four years late, but IDCC's users will pay!
