If you enjoy receiving mysterious packages with unknown contents, (control freaks with anxiety disorders, this store may not be for you,) meet the "Something Store." The concept is simple. You give them $10. They give you something. Shipping is included, and the quality of the "somethings" varies wildly. (For example, one customer got a duct tape wallet, another one got a leather wallet from Fossil.) You can get an idea of what sort of something ...

This will have ramifications on patents worth billions and billions of dollars, and it's not clear exactly what's going to happen. But the Justice Department has already all but conceded that Professor Duffy is right. Given the opportunity to dispute ...
