Steve Jobs and Bill Gates have not shared the same stage for 23 years. And tonight, at the Four Seasons Resort at Aviara they were together at the “special event” that directly followed dinner at the Wall Street Journal’s D: All Things Digital Conference.
Sadly, we did not make it out. Thought we would, but didn’t feel like getting our “web worker” duds on and driving back out there again, even though, we’re guessing tonight is the big party. . . Click the link below for all the details on the evening. Blow, by blow, by blow.

And from the wide world of Carlsbad businesses that we don’t understand or know anything about comes this stunner:
Invitrogen Corporation and Clontech Laboratories, Inc. have jointly announced a confidential settlement of their patent litigation, following a jury decision last week in federal district court in Greenbelt, Maryland. As part of the settlement, Clontech has agreed that Invitrogen Patent Nos. 5,244,797, 5,668,005, 6,063,608, and 5,405,776 on RNase H minus reverse transcriptase (RT) are valid and enforceable. Clontech has discontinued sales of its RNase H minus RT products, including its PowerScript products, for the life of the patents. The parties did not disclose other details of their agreement.
We’re sure there are quite a few Invitrogen employee who will be sleeping better tonight, in their Carlsbad beds.

James Barrett, an analyst who covers Topps for CL King, predicted that barring any regulatory obstacles, hard-charging Upper Deck founder and Chairman Richard McWilliam would get his wish of owning Topps.
If we had the money we’d buy it just to own the Wacky Packages franchise.
