Wise words indeed.

How fondly I remember them from the Ericsson R380 back in 2000. I guess it wasn't patented then because not only was it so freaking obvious, it had been done before with various other PDAs. Still, there's a reality distortion field to combat now, so let's see the epic battle betwixt that and prior art begin!

He demonstrated his stunning visionary abilities a while back - how'd that work out for you, Steve?

"It takes care of motion but so did Google Glasses and it was published publicly first, so that takes care of that about who did what first."

Gosh, next you'll be saying they have their own search engine, instead of just throwing a script kiddie wrapper around someone else's.

This Apple you speak of really hates copying. But I'm confused - is it the Beatles record label from the 60's, or the one which came later and innovated their name?

All's fine until you try that. Like this guy, he can browse smoothly, usi .. see ... right pages using cleartype ...

Say in a foreign country well-known for its mobile business which was teetering after having been dealt a big blow by the iPhone. It would need to somehow persuade them to ditch their current production runs and software stacks in favour of their own. It would have to install one of their own men at the top to oversee all this. Then it would have to ensure there is no chance of this business recovering by publicly announcing a new line of software which is totally incompatible with the line it promised to save them with, thus ensuring via the osborne effect none sell at all. Bankrupt, this mobile business could then be picked up for a song, and its patents would really come in handy too. The trouble is, everyone in the business would see this coming if they tried that. Wouldn't they?

Microsoft did the research - if this is the answer they can solve it too. "Upgrade" their PC's to Windows 8 and watch them take 10 times longer trying to do the same thing under Metro.

Gosh. Next you'll be saying they have their own search engine, and not merely throwing up some script kiddie wrapper around Googles.

Quite - and Brits must never inform any Americans a colleague has just nipped out for a quick fag down the back alley, no matter how accurate and innocent it sounds to them.

But Microsoft’s Bing uses Google search results—and denies it.

I was wondering how you thought your upcoming iPhone5 stacked up against the S3. It's too close to launch to change it now, so these desperate acts speak volumes.

Oracle lost, but they have not been forgiven or forgotten. Good luck picking them up as future customers with your me-too-but-costs-ten-times-as-much cloud offering. Oh, and there are quite a few of them already, with literally millions more every day.

Motorola (first mobile call 1973) are being sued by Microsoft (formed 1976) because, whilst clearly they are the newbies in this area, each and every time the obvious sequence of events is brought up out come the naysaysers whining about all Motorolas relevant patents having expired. So, these jerks with their '50s technology is somehow relevant, how?
