 The next 57, Mark Mayfield checking tech for us. British tech millionaire Mike Lynch is dodging fraud charges in the U.S. A jury in San Francisco has cleared Lynch, who had been accused of inflating the value of his software firm, Autonomy, before selling it to Hewlett-Packard in 2011 for $11 billion. Analysts say the jury's decision was a bit of a surprise because other Autonomy executives have been found guilty of fraud over the same matter in U.S. courts.
