In addition, Schmidt also talked about his position at Apple's board of directors.

That article says only six companies are affected, and ARM is the only one mentioned by name. Since most netbooks use Intel Atom processors, I doubt there's much to worry about.

Marvelous; Land of the free, home of the royally screwed.

Looking at some of the patents submitted I'm wouldn't be surprised if one could patent the design of a twirly-whirly straw.
