Not exactly that. To be sincere, I think even Oracle doesn't know what they are suing Google anymore, they keep changing the accusation as the lawsuit goes on.
It began as patent infringement and the patents got tossed out by USPTO; then it was all about code copying, reaching an...
First, I was no attacking USA people, I was saying you are allowing it to flow without understanding the full picture. looak at http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20110321172008657 and see the vast majority of comments are from americans, with the same or even bitter comments than I made...

So by your logic, if someone is demanding you pay, you pay?
OK. Someone will knock at your door a say to have a patent on "typing on keyboard", pay US$ 10000 for each keyaboard you own, no questions allowed. Will you pay? Let me anticipate your answer: NO. Your argument will be...
Now you understand why they want to go after B&N: cowardly making a statement to the market, saying "I'll drag you to hell without mercy". And that's innovation? That's free market?

Sorry to not agree with you. MS had all the opportunities to lobby and make a lot of pressure to...
Just to make clear my view about patents: 99% of them should not be patentable at all.
Explaining: patents are a compromise about evolving the science and rewarding the inventor for sharing it's creation blueprints. The society gives a person (an individual or a corporation) a private monopoly...
Can anyone still trust Microsoft this days? I'm still struggling to believe they allowed Kinect hacks to continue (and turn Kinect into a gold mine)!
They have almost no business sense anymore, can't compete on their merits so they sue to scare small competitors cause they have no balls to...
You mean very "capitalism" like actions like using patents on "1-click" to provide artificial barriers based on an private monopoly (capitalism and monopoly on the same sentence ?!) or "disney" copyrights with 70 years after creators death to have almost infinite monopoly on the use of a...
I really don't believe the price will be even close to $266 after the cut for at least 2 months, if ever. This will be a hot item and only big stores like newegg or amazon will make any promotion like bundles or multiple item discounts. Even then you will get a random step.
TankGuys price...
This 1920x1200 problem is on a DVI cable with a Nvidia PCI-E board, right? If it's the case, bash Nvidia for it cause it worked on previous releases but does not work now (out of the box, there are workarounds). It's something about it not being able to read DVI timings and then checking...
I think bbz_Ghost has a valid line of thinking but wrong assumptions. From his post I can derive some things, not intending to attack him but to just using his ideas to explain my point of view:
1 - Lots of people think Linux is for programmers/geeks/whatever marketing stereotype throws on...
Before anything else: kudos for the real intention of USING it instead of just LOOKING at it like 99.999% of the articles about Linux do. No one can learn any distribution of Linux (or any new OS) in 2 or 3 days. It just won't work.
Linux (technically only the kernel but we all know all...
