QUICK FACTS
=========================================================
1. Opinion: How to Lie with Earned Value

Earned-value analysis is one of the most-used measures of
how well a tech project is progressing. Unfortunately, it's
one of the most misleading as well.

2. Case Study: Building a Company, and its IT, in 90 Days

Precious Moments was making good money licensing images of
sad-eyed waifs to big consumer-products companies. Then it
suddenly had to go into business for itself.

3. News: Chinese Legal System Hinders IP Protection Efforts

It's not just the intellectual-property pirates that make
doing business in China difficult. The legal system makes
pursuing pirates and getting indictments--let alone
convictions--a struggle.

4. News: Scanner Grabs Identity Data From Driver's License

A casino vendor gets a patent on a device that can scan
almost all the data on a U.S. driver's license and dump it
into a casino's CRM system, to reduce stand-at-the-window
time and maximize stand-at-the-table.

5. Opinion: Doctors Need Help with Personalized Medicine

Ziff Davis Internet's Monya Baker warns that, as informatics
teases out patients' varied health needs, decisions will get
even more complex. And doctor-patient visits are still only
10 minutes long.

6. Opinion: The Ultimate Privacy Argument Against RFID

A new book uses patent applications, interviews and document
searches to make a stunningly powerful argument against
plans for RFID being mapped out by government agencies,
retail and manufacturing companies.
