Nothing requires you to update your 3gs to iOS5 - but you can if you want to. As opposed to an update not being available at all... Aside from providing an upgrade path, is Apple also suppose to hold back features that highlight their new models in an effort to prevent performance issues in older models?

It occurs to me that Motorola Inc. owns the patent, not Motorola Mobility. In the purchase of Motorola Mobility, it's not clear what patents are included in the deal. I doubt Motorola just handed Google their entire patent portfolio. Did Motorola just trick Google into buying an empty bag?

Hint: get your facts right otherwise you just look stupid, the XBox division has been turning a profit for years. In fact the year to June 08 netted almost 1/2 a billion dollars in profit for that year alone and has been turning a healthy profit ever since. So yes it *is* a phenomenal success.

Recent profit yes: But $10B loss + $4B profit still leaves them $6B in the hole...
