Thanks for taking time to discuss these important issues with us. May screen shots of this page appear in your campaign commercial resulting in your re-election.
With one post you have provided me with more information concerning these issues than my own Senators and Rep here in Ohio.
Sherrod Brown responded with doublespeak
Rob Portman never responded
Steve Austria never responded
They also can not say things like "You don't want any trouble, so keep this between me and you, you know what I'm saying" when you have a video camera.
So instead they try to use the law to intimidate you.
"Stay out of this or I'll charge you with illegal wiretapping"
Google could give Motorola/HTC/etc a license to the patents.
But Motorola/HTC/etc could not use them to counter sue Microsoft or Apple if they also own the same patent.
Apple, Microsoft, etc would simply sue Motorola/HTC using other patents.
The only way the patents help Android is if Google/Motorola/HTC/etc can use them against Apple, Microsoft, Oracle.
Maybe if it spelled out you will get it.
Mutually Assured Destruction works like this:
If Google solely owned the patents:
MS to Moto: We will sue you for patent A
Moto to MS: We will counter sue you for B that Google licensed to us
MS and Moto agree not to bother one another.
If Google/MS both own the patents:
MS to Moto: We will sue you for patent A
Moto to MS: We will counter sue you for B that Google licensed to us
MS to Moto: We also own patent B, sorry but we own you!
Moto to MS: How much to license patent A?
If both Google and Microsoft jointly own the patents Microsoft can still sue Motorola, HTC, etc for patent infringement from using Android and Google can not stop them.
Only if Google has the sole rights to those patents can Google ensure they are not used to harm Android.

In other news, Barbra Streisand is reported missing during her recent trip to France.

Obviously they do not want you to visit their site by clicking a link about something that interests you.
Now that corporations are people it looks like they have also figured out how to commit suicide......

I was thinking nearly the same thing, but you did miss the association:
astrolabe
astrolube
I do agree that astrolabe will need lots of astrolube when this is done!

Mattel paid $400mil to lawyers, Bratz lawyers got $137mil so $537mil to lawyers.
Seems the only people who won were the lawyers......

Your DNA was created by your parents, they hold the copyright.
Your parents were able to do so because their work (you) was transformative.
Re: I'm screwed
You will be ok with your attitude.
The terrorist would be unlikely to act that way as s/he would not want to draw attention.

Here is an Idea called personal responsibility
If you have a great idea, assemble a team and bring it to market.
Fail to do that and there is only one person to blame, yourself.
Re: Re:
You are right tcp/ip is all that's needed.
When they insist on installing crap on my machine I inform them I use linux, suddenly the software is not needed.
Fun when I call tech support too, their scripts are useless so they send a tech out and the squirrel chewed cable line gets fixed much faster.
Is this patent non-obvious?
If so many companies are doing the same thing the idea must have been obvious.
I wonder if the fact they are suing so many companies could be used against them to get the patent invalidated.

Shame that people talk about leaving the land of the free so they can be free.
Re: Re:
openBSD invented CARP to handle failover of devices because the industry standard methods to do so were patent encumbered by Cisco.
So you can even make redundant routers/firewalls with automatic failover using open source.
I have replaced all of my Cisco border routers with off the shelf hardware and openBSD.
I use openBGPD too, works great!
Hardware is cheaper, performance is better, configuration is easier and everything is more reliable.
I am very happy without Cisco gear!

When your junk falls off from too much radiation you can no longer complain about them looking at it. Maybe that was their plan all along...
