Five PC Vendors Face Patent Lawsuit

Posted by timothy on from the up-periscope dept.

Combuchan writes "This article from internetnews.com caught my attention: While Linux lawsuits gobble up the IT community's mindshare, a lesser-known legal action is being fought seeking billions of dollars from five PC vendors. Patriot Scientific, a small, San Diego-based seller of embedded microprocessors for automotive and scientific applications, is suing Sony, Fujitu, Matsushita, Toshiba, and NEC, alleging infringement of a Patriot patent for what it calls 'fundamental microprocessor technology.'"

    Whereas Michael Keaton is a good actor, he's a bit old and busted for me. George Clooney can't act for shit. But Val, what a hottie :) :) :) I'd suck those latex nips off that costume and get to the REAL stuff real quick :) I got a Bat Signal, but it's more in a white squirty form.

    Excellent troll, btw. Now I'm off to wank to Val...
