There's nothing that can make you sit back, scratch your head, and wonder at the correlation between innovation and patents granted than looking at the top 300 list published by the Intellectual Property Owners Association, or IPO. This summary of how many utility patents companies received in the US last year was fascinating, both for those who racked them up and the corporations that didn't. Some at the lower end of patent activity -- Google, Yahoo, and even Apple -- raise the question of whether they are properly protecting their intellectual activity, or if they are leaving themselves open to being outflanked by competitors.

Sony's overall numbers are in with a big annual loss. That means it's time for one of our periodic looks at the PS3. And while I know the fans won't like this, the data shows that the trend line of sales is flattening, with a projection showing the start of a decline this year, even as competitors Microsoft and Nintendo have held up under the recession.
