Who is the heck Eolas?

[Mitch Stone <mstone@vc.net>]

According to Bob (don't call me "Robert X.") Cringely, a tiny company 
called Eolas recently secured a patent to embedded objects that will 
knock the props out from under all similar technologies promoted by 
Microsoft, Netscape, and Sun. He predicts that Eolas will quickly make a 
licensing deal with Microsoft, simultaneously finishing off the others 
_and_ the government's case.

But a search of the web, and a perusing of the Eolas site, turns up 
nothing to support these claims. Has Cringely finally flipped out 
entirely?
