Ep. 1112: Rupert Murdoch battles infinity

Show summary: Microsoft is apparently willing to pay Rupert Murdoch to block Google from indexing any of his Web sites. Are we headed towards a world where the search engine you use determines what news you get? Probably not. We explain why Murdoch may be thinking in an old fashioned limited way rather than in the current infinite Internet way. We also declare the patent office baroque. And ask it to lose weight.
