The next big things according to VCs

Cell phone gambling in China and other wireless trends are what venture capitalists at Brainstorm were talking about.Venture capitalists still see a lot that interests them, but it's mostly not in glamorous, sexy industries like the Internet.

IBM goes against Amazon in patent infringement battle

IBM goes against Amazon in patent infringement battle

Key aspects of Amazon.com Inc.'s retailing Web site are improperly built on technologies developed at IBM Corp., Big Blue alleged Monday in two lawsuits against Amazon.
Amazon is accused of infringing on five IBM patents, including technologies that govern how the site recommends products to customers, serves up advertising and stores data.
