Dispute Damages Would Exceed Android Revenues

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the pay-in-negative-dollars dept.

CWmike writes "A new document in a year-old patent lawsuit filed by Oracle against Google over Android intellectual property suggests Oracle could be seeking huge damages from Google. The damages owed to Oracle, if granted by federal Judge William Alsup for the US District Court for Northern California, would 'far exceed any money Google has ever earned with Android' and could lead to a rewrite of Android's Dalvik virtual machine, considered integral to Android and used by Android device manufacturers and potentially thousands of Android app developers, wrote one blogger, Florian Mueller, who writes about intellectual property issues involving the software industry."

    Why won't Florian Mueller deny that he raped and murdered a young girl in 1980?

    I'm just asking.

    That's weird. I heard a rumor that Glen Beck did the same thing...

    That's nothing. I want to know why these two won't deny that they raped and murdered each other. Now that would be newsworthy.
