My wife and I were watching "Raising the Mammoth" last night on Discovery Channel, and I kept seeing a Computer Associates commercial that raised some warning flags. They were describing their new "Neugents" product, and mentioned "patented technology" (or something to that effect)...

I scoped out their site this morning. It's not easy to find a patent reference, but I finally tracked down one here, which mentions:

"Utilizing CA's patented neural network technology and adaptive pattern recognition techniques, Unicenter TNG Performance Neugents will predict problems and detect unusual behaviors before service is impacted on Windows 2000."

I don't know what their techniques are, I haven't read the patents themselves yet, and I haven't seen them be heavy-handed so far, but I figured I'd raise the flag...when I get a chance at lunch, I'll try and take a closer look, and post here. (or should I put it somewhere else, Dave?)

Later!!

Ken
