I know - my point is that everybody slows down before cameras and speeds up again afterwards. If the cameras would share the data and measure average speed between the first and the last camera, and check if that speed was OK, then it would be valuable.
I drive a lot in Israel and use an app that warns me about cameras and spots frequented by traffic cops. Never got a ticket so far.
They could take pictures of all cars, not necessarily speeding, and measure their average speed. Could get those 50 million back.
Really?
All large companies have the same IP strategy and they behave exactly the same simply because they can. MS is no exception. Grow up already.
Android makers are far from being as slow as you imply. If these patents would be worthless, they wouldn't pay anything in the first place.
Phones and tablets do not replace desktops and laptops. Chances are you wrote your post on a laptop.
MS has a much wider product line than you imply. Using Skype perhaps?
Bloated manpower? Mind to prove this statement?
Patents are a monopoly on ideas
That's also a propaganda term. The patent system is flawed but not as much as you imply. You can only patent an idea that's not obvious and novel, which means you need to invest a significant amount of talent, time and money in order to develop this idea. Many people expect some protection of their investment in developing their ideas.
The question is in what would incentivize inventors more, the patent system or the lack of it. I don't see a clear answer to this question.
Even if they are not precisely targeted they can hit something by mistake. Also, Iron Dome is set up to intercept only rockets that have chance to hit a real target in Israel. For instance if Hamas launches a rocket towards some Palestinian target (by mistake or deliberately), the Iron Dome won't stop it.
... it works for about 100%
and my point is: without clear evidence, both this and Postol's statements are equally Ill-founded.
Ted, shall we compromise on (100+5)/2?

If the SQL servers is down, the last thing the boss wants is to fire me. Trust my 20 years of experience on both sides of the table.
critical information?
How many of us really get critical information?
No text or email crap I'm getting is critical. My wife and the kids can call my mobile.
I hope this thing doesn't take off, or we'll have to test our apps on yet another device running a heavily polluted Android
