NASA patents to be auctioned (gcn.com)

Can't believe this wasn't posted here. It's been over a day since it was posted on slashdot. Anyways, this a very good opportunity for _real_ startups to get their hands on some advanced technology. It's very cool that NASA is doing something like this. If i had some funding, I'd for sure be at that auction.

Any startups plan on being there?

I just hope a bunch of trolls don't show up and then use what they get to keep people from building anything for the next 14 years.

I can see why this is a huge disappointment to the HN community since NASA isn't releasing it's new "social aggregation" technology.

-yawn- wake me up when Web 2.0 is over and people are ready to build _real_ software.
