Apple Sued Over OS X Quick Boot

Posted by Unknown on from the the-rms-says-patents-are-baaaad dept.

An anonymous reader writes "With a patent originally owned by LG in tow, a Florida based company called Operating Systems Solutions LLC recently filed suit against Apple claiming that OS X's use of quick booting infringes the aforementioned patent." The company in question is a bit suspicious — having formed very recently — and so others are speculating it was created for a proxy battle against Apple by LG.

    Ah perhaps I should remember never to criticize a scientologist or an Apple groupie with mod points.
