The Big Blue Yonder - Issues 2006 - MSNBC.com - interesting read on IBM’s patent sharing program. Nice quote:

I wonder whether their opening of patents for healthcare will help - everything I’ve seen from hospitals the last years is that they’re stuck in the ’70’s: badly organized, and badly technologized (except for the expensive medical gizmos, of course)
