Submission + - $1.5 Billion settlement against Microsoft halted (nytimes.com)
SnapShot writes: I'm so conflicted. Microsoft has apparently escaped a $1.5 Billion settlement. On the other hand, Alcatel-Lucent, who filed the claim, looks like they are pushing another frivolous patent claim and everyone who uses MP3 (including Apple) may benefit if this is thrown out. What side should I cheer for?
