Rambus Wins Case Against Infineon

Posted by chrisd on from the rambus-is-an-annoyance dept.

rednoise writes "Yahoo is running a story about how a Federal Circuit Court in California (I think) has (unbelievably) ruled that RAMBUS did NOT intentionally mislead members of JEDEC when the committee was developing the SDRAM specification. RAMBUS' stock skyrocketed something like 57% on the news. This is very bad news for owners of computers."

    This slashdot story is written rather poorly. For example you could have explained why it is a bad thing for computer owners. Only the statement alone looks a bit too little.

      So, given that Slashdot "editors" (yes, they do call themselves that) do not 1) write stories, 2) provide context (linkage or otherwise), 3) correct grammar or spelling errors, and 4) cannot even be counted on to know what's been posted to the site lately, does anyone know what they actually get paid to do?

      Before you start up the "shut the fuck up, it's free" machine, chill. I'm not bashing the site; I love Slashdot. I just wish the postings would suck a little less ass sometimes. And given that the site employs "editors," that doesn't seem like a lot to ask.

    Exactly what is "in my not so humble opinion" supposed to mean in this case? Is "FuzzyBad-Mofo" widely acknowledged as having an educated opinion on the subject of DRAM interfaces?

    Or is he just another uninformed /o'er trumpeting his "Yeah, I hate them too!" opinion as loudly as possible?
