    This may be a failure for S3, but I think I speak for the entire Linux community when I say:

    One less S3 chipset on Linux is a win for most Linux users.

    Hopefully there won't be a successor.

    One important thing for developers is that you can develop on any platform for the G1 with the G1 dev kit.

  18. So it begins again! on Psystar Wins a Round Against Apple · · Score: -1, Troll

    Steve Jobs is busy being away, dying of AIDS.

    The clones have arrived and are back taking a chunk out of Apple's market.

    All they need now is a PHB from some unrelated industry to start pulling Apple in different directions, causing it to sink even further.

    I think this is the beginning of the end for Apple.

    Liar!

    This is a fantastic business strategy that will no doubt cause Microsoft to grow by leaps and bounds in the near future.

    As a Microsoft shareholder, I am glad my interests are being taken care of. Microsoft knows there is a huge market for crippleware and they are seizing the opportunity to corner yet another market.

    Microsoft, please continue on this fantastic path to ensure your future survival and to crush rival operating systems like Youbuntoo and Mac OS X.

  21. Re:It is inevitably infringing itself. on Is Apple's Multi-Touch Patent Valid? · · Score: 1

    Please stay in school longer.

    From your link:

    The Federal Circuit disagreed and pointed out that in Roche v. Bolar[3] and other cases it had held that although an experimental use exception as crafted in the nineteenth century continued to exist, it was a very narrow one for example âoeto satisfy idle curiosity or for strictly philosophical enquiryâ.

    and then

    the act does not qualify for the very narrow and strictly limited experimental use defense.

    So, as you can see, you were arguing for me the whole time, you just didn't know it. :)

  23. Re:It is inevitably infringing itself. on Is Apple's Multi-Touch Patent Valid? · · Score: 1, Troll

    That's why I specifically said "Commercial or public use (whether its educational or not)."

    The IP owner has to be able to specifically show how the infringer did X which caused the IP owner to lose the ability to do Y.

    Good luck telling a judge that you THINK someone is infringing on your patent in their basement for their own use and you want in on the action because you're legally entitled.

    What are you, an RIAA lawyer?

  24. Re:It is inevitably infringing itself. on Is Apple's Multi-Touch Patent Valid? · · Score: 1

    No, its not limited to commercial use. Any public display of the invention could be used to claim damages in court.

    It's important to remember there is no criminal law being broken when you use a patent without a license. It's all civil.

    So you have to be able to show damages to claim them from an infringer.

  25. Re:It is inevitably infringing itself. on Is Apple's Multi-Touch Patent Valid? · · Score: 1

    No, you are only talking about damages.

    Bingo. You are only liable if you are depriving the IP owned from profit.

    You may still be in violation but they cannot do anything until they can show damages, i.e. you can't be liable for something there are no damages for.

    Where do damages come from? Commercial or public use (whether its educational or not)
