So it's okay for Apple to label Samsung a copycat for creating icons that look similar to iPhone icons, but when you rip off someone else's design VERBATIM you're not? This company has become so brazen that they'll now plagiarize without any attribution or compensation.
The trial start date is March, 2014. Too bad all of these devices will be at end of life. Suck it Apple, you MoFo's.
I knew something was fishy when I clicked on the link and was taken to a badly designed Apple inspired website circa 2001 from an alleged iOS and Mac developer as well as a "UI & UX designer". Although, I hope no one has hired him for the latter.

I thought the Apple plan was to deliver gimped versions of iOS, with missing features, to phones below the current version?
So where do I download this Android iOS?
So after these Rats cherry pick the Nortel patents they individually wanted they then form a proxy company to deflect any negative press from them when this patent troll starts shaking down companies with the stipulation that they have no obligation to licence their patents for fair and reasonable terms. Unfortunately, everyone is aware of this proxy company and these companies will not be able to wash the stink off them should a high profile battle ensue.
It doesn't matter anyway. There were only nine lines of copied code and the only reason it was there is because the guy that submitted it originally to openJDK is the same guy that put it in Android. The judge learned java for this trial and even he said he could have wrote rangeCheck in a few minutes and had even done so accidentally many times.
Suck it, Oracle. You lose. Good day, sir!
Judge Alsup did not learn Java for this trial. He's a math major and was already familiar with other programming languages.
Google has a long history of trying to weasel out of agreements and payments just because they're 'Google'. In turn, Microsoft spends billions an year towards their R&D (Microsoft Research). They also work with the pioneer in the industry, Nokia, which has developed pretty much all the technology we base mobile phones today on. They deserve to be paid.
Not only do I see victory for justice, but a long term crackdown on Google's illicit business practices. It is time to step up and show Google the door. If you cannot do business honestly, don't do it at all.
Justifiably, you were marked for the troll that you are. Microsoft is a convicted monopolist (US vs Microsoft), a stealer of IP and code (Stacker, i4i), a saboteur of companies (Wordperfect/Novell) and a financial backer to SCO. They're also anti-open standards as evidenced by the people they tried to pay off to try and ratify their failed document format standard. As for their R&D - all I see from their labs are useless kinect experiments that have no practical or commercial value.
Yes, you are confused. Microsoft continued to call their implementation Java. Google does not call their version Java and, thus, has no obligation.
And yet they still allow for Snakes on a Plane.
So if I take an existing OS (Android in this case) under GPL and I alter for greater security, does that have to be release too if all I'm doing is some sort of internal release? I'm sure this has been answered to death with Linux but just curious.
The Linux part of Android is under the GPL. The other is under the Apache License.
