Rambus Wins Case Against Infineon

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."

Killing you Softly with Rambus

[Tseran]

What I can't understand is why a ccompany that has had such horrible problems living up to the demands placed on them in the past (The whole Playstation 2's lack of units during its release was partially their fault) and that was so slow to open their standards, and has forced computer users to thinking of their RAM in pairs again (didn't we kill that when EDO died?) is still being USED by computer manufacturers. How much are they being paid to base their systems on this RAM standard? Long live DDR!

It most certainly is bad news. These "judges" are violating the basis of our judicial system when they second guess a jury's decision. It is precisely because a jury can see through intentional lies, *and* won't be biased due to direct kickback, that the constitution spells out having a jury of peers.

These "judges" are trying to mock the constitution. And so far, it does look like they are doing real damage.

They deserve to die slow painful deaths for this. But hey, that's just my cynical opinion.
