A couple of weeks ago I received this mail from my graduate school Adviser, pointing to an article from Long Island Business News.  This article was titled 'patent of the week: large scale sentiment analysis'.  I, for once LOL'ed :-)  Yes, in spite of that being my master's thesis.  The reasons are two fold.  One, my thoughts & views on patents have changed.  Two, how does such a website decide what is the patent of the week?  I'm a bit curious.  In any case, I can add this to my resume as an invention.
