"J. Hutton Pulitzer"
I'm just noting this for completeness, as a nice example of a nut trying to create "references" in order to create his own Wikipedia biography.
It refers to "J. Hutton Pulitzer", formerly known as Jeffry Jovan Philyaw of Fort Worth, Texas. Co-creator of one of the biggest consumer-electronics disasters of all time, the CueCat (T-H-L). An article that was mucked around with many times, by "questionable" editors. The Wiki-Knuckleheads, for once, managed to keep questionable material out, albeit in their usual semi-competent sloppy manner.
He also tried to create a hagiography of himself for Wikipedia. There are a few traces left from the last attempt, in October 2011. May have been previous attempts, not sure yet.

He created a website (now down, you can see many captures on archive.org) and multiple (awful) blogs, with the apparent specific purpose of "whitewashing" himself for Wikipedia.

This is a typical "Pulitzer" patent.
(Don't try to read those, you'll regret it.)
Ha ha. Plus, Mr. "Pulitzer" certainly has a lot of free time on his hands.

Re: "J. Hutton Pulitzer"
A good starting point on cases like this is whether Mr. Philyaw ever legally changed his name. The typical wikilawyer can then argue that the title of the biography should be Jeffrey Philyaw and not J. Hutton Pulitzer.EricBarbour wrote:It refers to "J. Hutton Pulitzer", formerly known as Jeffry Jovan Philyaw of Fort Worth, Texas.
With Business method patent (T-H-L)s and machine embodiment patents, the old rule that one could not patent a pure idea or Algorithm (T-H-L) has gone out the window and the courts and congress struggle with what can be patented. So, it becomes a question of whether one has hired a patent lawyer with enough skill to talk the Patent Office into issuing a patent to protect a particular idea.
I believe as a general rule that when the insiders discover someone writing his or her own autobiography, the page gets watched and the article end up either deleted or very negative.
One of the referenced pages says:
That type of weasel wording should be a red flag as to the unreliability of the source. A more accurate claim would be "Pulitzer currently has over 500 patent applications in different stages of being reviewed in various countries." (It is generally the case that a valuable idea will be protected in many different countries with many, many different patent applications.)Pulitzer currently has over 500 new patents in different stages of being granted.

Re: "J. Hutton Pulitzer"
For added dramatic effect: go to amazon.com and search for "J. Hutton Pulitzer".
You'll see that he has been generating endless self-published books on "treasure hunting". Under the name "Commander Pulitzer".
He'd make a wonderful arbitrator.

Hrm, I had a CueCat back in the day, and indeed it was worthless. But the idea was pretty solid. He was just way ahead of his time and the needed synergy with other ecosystems was not there. QR codes are essentially the exact same thing.

Re: "J. Hutton Pulitzer"
Except that QR codes can contain text, don't require you to be running a special piece of software that looks up a numeric barcode value online and translates it into a URL, and don't require you to have a special device that is completely useless for anything else - because it sends the scan to a chip to be unscrambled and thus doesn't work for data not in the manufacturer's proprietary format. So, not really essentially the exact same thing at all.JapaneseForeigner wrote:Hrm, I had a CueCat back in the day, and indeed it was worthless. But the idea was pretty solid.

I still have a CueCat... after the company went bust, the book cataloging site LibraryThing bought up a huge number of them to sell onto their users. They came with instructions on how to "declaw" them - simply cutting one chip connector with a craft knife disabled the descrambler and converted the CueCat into a standard barcode scanner. At that point it became a useful device.

I, too, had a CueCat. In the sort of colossal miscalculation for which its management was notorious, Wired magazine shipped a CueCat to every one of their subscribers. I never found a use for the thing -- for one or two months, a handful of ads in the magazine included the codes, but I don't remember being sufficiently interested in any of the products to bother pulling the device out of the plastic bag it came in and plugging it into my computer -- but I do remember thinking that the magazine must have pissed away a lot of dotcom money. Of course they had already blown their two IPOs, so nothing about Wired management -- or should I say mismanagement -- surprised me.

Re: "J. Hutton Pulitzer"
Mr Pulitzer apparently believes that "the money pit" on Oak Island (T-H-L) contains not Captain Kidd's buried treasure, but - cue Indiana Jones music - "this is about history"...
