Are you referring to Nathan Myhrvold’s firm Intellectual Ventures, or some other firm named Intellectual Ventures that was not founded by Nathan Myhrvold (Nathan Myhrvold, of course, being a prominent ex-MicroSoftie who has written cookbooks and founded the corporation Intellectual Ventures that engages in what some would patent-troll behavior).
Just want to make sure that we are talking about the right “Nathan Myhrvold” and the right “Intellectual Ventures” (which could also be referred to as “Nathan Myhrvold’s Intellectual Ventures”).
It IS an interesting cookbook, however. But you can do sous-vide in a styrofoam cooler, so, whatever.
