On which counts am I wrong? Could you elaborate? Be more specific?
Got any proof to back up that claim? I'm interested, because I haven't seen it made anywhere else as of yet. I'd love to know if it's indeed true Samsung approached Microsoft.
However, even if they did, it doesn't really change anything about this being extortion. If I have a group of thugs beat up everyone in your town except you, and then the group of thugs stands in front of your house, waiting, hand-wringing - you'd try to work something out or fight back, right? Isn't that the same as extortion?
I never denied that it did. I think few did. It's just that a majority - at least here on OSNews, and in Europe - think software patents should be illegal.
I honestly don't know what this rambling even means.
This I somewhat grasp through the clear issues you seem to have with Google. Heck, I don't like Google either, but if they manage to destroy software patents? Good on 'm.
Okidoki man.
Did you not realize this is the industry in which you work? These were the rules of the game? Oh, that's right you're a bunch of cubicle drones and leave all the real thinking to the suits in the offices you deplore, or whatever. Seriously, step outside of the reality distortion fields and think about what you're doing. It's your life. This is your bread and butter we are talking about here.
So, people are not allowed to complain about or fight against something they don't like just because they're part of it? Does this apply only to business and jobs, or also the government? Should I accept the sad fact that a right-wing extremist is in my government and just shut up about it because these are the rules of the game?
Fascinating view on life, there.
