Preliminary ITC Ruling: Motorola Not In Violation of Apple's Patents

SpuriousLogic writes with a preliminary ruling in the ITC case between Apple and Motorola. Quoting eWeek: "Motorola is celebrating an initial triumph over Apple, after a U.S. International Trade Commission administrative law judge issued an initial determination (PDF) finding that Motorola Mobility has not violated any of the three patents listed in an October 2010 lawsuit Apple filed against the Droid maker. ... The determination isn't the final say ... in March, the ruling will be reviewed by a six-member ITC panel that will announce the ultimate ruling. However, according to Zacks Equity Research, it's unusual for the ITC panel, which has the power to block device imports, to contradict a judge's determination."

    How much Google paid for the judge for his "honest" ruling?

    Did you really register as a Slashdot user just to post that?

    Hold on there, I too recently registered as a user specifically to post a "pro Apple" comment but that doesn't mean I'm a shill. In my case I'm getting fed up of all the unearned mod points that the apple bashers are getting, including the parent post that is nothing more than a backslapper, with circumstantial evidence at best.

    The http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_bias round here is getting way out of hand.

    The http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_bias [wikipedia.org] round here is getting way out of hand.

    Eeeeyup, control your confirmation bias, man.

    The fact is there are google bashers getting +5, MS bashers getting +5, apple bashers getting +5, fandroids getting +5, iFanbois getting +5, M$ $hills getting +5, but you chose one to meet your expectations.

    Do you have statistics of pro-$company/anti-$company posts quantities, qualities and moderation? Thought so.
