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."

    Thank goodness that the Microsofts and the Rambuses in the world are protecting the freedom to innovate. Why, if they ewre taken down, people would be forced to buy things from smaller companies which as we all know are totally incapable of innovation.

    Now I'm going to McDonalds for a delicious cheeseburger.

    Ah, Yahoo.

    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.

    You have to wait for the second posting of this news, at least. Just be a little patient.
