B.A.T. OUT OF HELL

Why wouldn't an upstart company want to patent technology the whole world
is waiting for? At first blush, it would appear a little known company has
captured the wallets and imaginations of some well-heeled international
firms - titans with names like Benz, Lockheed Martin and Volkswagen. But a
closer look would show that the fledgling operation, like its flagship
product, is long on wind but short on substance.

I haven't visited those pages yet, but one question I would have is whether
the results have been properly audited by a reputable independent source.
