[OPINION] GROWTH PONZI SCHEME, PART 1 by sCharles Marohn \| 13 Jun 2011 The underpinnings of the current financial crisis lie in a living arrangement -- the American pattern of development -- that does not financially suppport itself. The great experiment of suburbanization that America embarked on following World War II has no precedent in human history. As it enters its third generation, the flawed assumptions that were overlooked are now coming back to bite us in a cruel way. Like any Ponzi scheme, there is only one way this ends. In the great American experiment of suburbanization following World War II, we redirected our county's extensive resources into a living arrangement unseen at any point in human history. We abandoned thousands of years of history, knowledge and tradition in building cities and towns in order to try this new — and completely untested — approach.

Consortium offers winning bid for Nortel patents by Stephen Hardy \| Lightwave \| July 1, 2011 A consortium of Apple, EMC, Ericsson, Microsoft, Research In Motion, and Sony successfully bid $4.5 billion for more than 6,000 Nortel patents offered in auction as part of Nortel’s bankruptcy-induced breakup. The patents cover a wide range of technologies, including optical. The auction lasted a number of days. Among those the consortium bested was Google, which started the auction process rolling by submitting a stalking horse bid of $900 million for the patents back in April (see “Google offers stalking horse bid for Nortel patents”). Intel Corp. also was reported part of the bidding process. Cont.: lightwaveonline.com ------
