unassimilatible writes: Owners of three 2011-launched Motorola phones are furious that the company has reneged on its vow to support their models with the latest Android version, Ice Cream Sandwich. Models affected are the Photon 4G, the Electrify, a re-branded Photon available on the US Cellular network, and the Atrix 4G, a flagship phone that debuted on AT&T in the United States in 2011.
The result is that thousands of people in the middle of two-year carrier contracts will have to use Android 2.3, known as Gingerbread, for the foreseeable future. Motorola had promised owners Android 4.0 support, which would bring a host of new features and security updates. Instead they are stuck on Gingerbread, an operating system that was already a year old when some bought their Moto phones.
Groklaw is an obviously anti-patent site. Don't quote them as authority on mainstream patent law.
The whole point of this article is that the average juror isn't smart enough for these cases (forgetting the 7th Amendment).
Now we have a foreman with a patent, and he's too smart? Catch-22 much? I guess we need these ivory tower philosopher kings to administer your "software and hardware should be free, fuck Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution" ethos.
"The foreman told a court representative that the jurors had reached a decision without needing the instructions."
Fucking lie. Stop relying on Groklaw and listen to the actual foreman's interview:
Because they have vaginas. And anyone who owns physical property can't sit on a theft or burglary or robbery trial? Only ascetic monks can sit on those?
So the average juror is too dumb, but a patent holder is too smart?
Bullshit. Anyone can be fair if he puts his mind to it.
