    Someone did get a patent on the wheel, although they know for a fact it won't stand up in court.

    Fuel efficiency is still important, no matter what the engine. if you can run a full race on 10kg less fuel, then you'll be faster overall by several seconds. That can make the difference between a win and third in some races.

    Not hybrids per se, but modern F1 cars have KERS, which uses similar technology.

    I've never been to an F1 race, but I have heard that the noise is incredible.

    Not been to a race, but I did go to a test session years ago when they used the V10s. Nothing prepares you for how loud those engines are :)

    The point isn't whether you'd still need the cracks, it's not giving money to THQ or HB.

    Buy the bundle, but send all the money to charity. You get the games legally, THQ gets nothing at all, and charities get donations. Everyone's a winner.

    a patent troll...hinder technological progress

    MS's main income sources are Windows and Office. Plus, they did create what eventually became AJAX.

    If you could point out where I defended the practice, then I'd be grateful.

    That is, if you can stop masturbating over the latest shiny from Cupertino.

    So iOS 6 won't run on the original iPhone. How's that different from WP7/8 again?

    Irrelevant - most Android updates are also point releases. Doesn't make the update process any different.

    Windows Mobile != Windows Phone - they are two different products.

    WP8 is the first to break compatibility.

    You're probably right, but still wanted to defend a WinPhone.

    All WP7 phones are capable of running both 7.5 and 7.8. It's up to the handset maker to release the update.
