They don't need cookies anyway. There are a lot of other ways to track you without a cookie. As long as we download all those "like" buttons from the webpages we visit they get to track us. The cookie would just make the tracking a little bit easier.

Comment Apple lost in Dutch court, not the opposite (Score 5, Informative) 195

        Samsung can continue to sell current Galaxy phones and must provide a trivial change to the picture gallery in the next 7 weeks.
        Samsung can continue to sell the Gaöaxy Tab.
        Apple has LOST all design and copyright related claims.

A fake DNS record, or a NX domain for leakymails.blogspot.com would be easily circumvented simply by using opendns, the google dns, or any other DNS server out there.

"Most people do not use this project" when everyone doing Android development indirectly uses it.

Google should pay up for J2ME if they want to use Java on Android, or invent their own language (they should use Go on android if they don't want to pay for a Java license).
And exactly as the parent sad, This has nothing to do with Apache's wonderful libraries.
