my tech stock wtf of the weekend: Microsoft is buying patents from AOL. I am rather curious as to what patents AOL might have that are actually worth that sum, but on the whole, hey, good for AOL. Why, however, would this make the stock price go up? It's not like AOL is going to be creating any kind of value ever again and presumably even less so if they're selling off their intellectual property....
