did they release those as well? if not then they are looking to make the cars a commodity and extort money from people selling batteries and electricity along the roads
that's exactly what it is most of the internet today was invented in the 90's and those ideas were too far ahead of their time and they were really new ideas by the time tech improved to where they can be used in a product, the companies selling the product suddenly didn't want to pay for those ideas
say you invent a super absorbent material that can you be used in diapers and lots of other things you can't sell it as a standalone product because it's designed to be PART OF A PRODUCT and you don't want to pay a lawyer or spend months haggling deals with different companies or worry about suing people who rip off your idea so you sell it to intellectual ventures or some similar company, get paid and go on to invent something else
meanwhile the crazy OCD geeks who have mental issues about controlling everything will rant about you on the internet how you are supposed to be handwriting the licensing contracts yourself for the hundred companies you might license a patent to
you're only a patent troll when you invent something that's part of a product people like and the giant megacorp took your idea from 15 years ago when it was ahead of it's time and decided not to pay you. but since people want that feature now and want it for free because now its obvious, you're a patent troll
what happens if your internet goes out? what if i don't want to turn on my macbook or PC to stream movies to my apple TV all the time what if i don't want to buy a SAN and spend time ripping movies and paying the electric bill for it being on all the time what if i want to see the best quality on my HD TV
for the 2 disc blu ray with the Ultraviolet digital copy you can even pre-order it but the shipping is a little slower. or just stop by store during lunch or after work
some countries like the USA tax all the worldwide income of a company like apple and google its impossible for any company to be in compliance with the law in every nation they operate in if they have to pay 30% taxes on all of their worldwide income to each of a half dozen countries
thousands of wifi routers providing free service. i might have to go back to a dumb phone and just carry around a small tablet everywhere i go. why pay extortion prices for cell data when wifi will be literally everywhere
one time a long time ago wal mart tried to buy a bank to handle their own CC transactions and it was killed by the powers that be because they dared lower the cost to their customers
verizon hosts a lot of CDN's that compete with their tv service itunes, vudu, hulu and at least half a dozen others. i never hear of any problems with them, except for netflix
and that's because netflix has a history of finding low ball bids for their business who then refuse to upgrade peering connections to deliver the content they agree to deliver. and netflix used to use a CDN until last year when they tried to push their own onto ISP's without paying for it. like every other CDN who pays ISP's for access, power and other costs
netflix screams network neutrality to get preferential access for themselves
verizon and every other ISP will have multiple peering points with different network, with each one routing different kinds of traffic and having different rules using a VPN just means your return traffic is being routed over a peer that isn't congested because netflix sends all their data over the congested peer
except DSL has always been a shitty tech you have to be within range of the CO, have newer wiring, and the farther out you go the slower the speeds they will advertise a max speed like LTE, which you will never see because of old and crappy wiring and people "far away" from the CO because the wiring twists and turns underground
i've read that they kept their ARM architecture license. one of the few good licenses where they can make their own CPU and instruction set as long as it's compatible with ARM. like apple and qualcomm. not like the regular licenses where you simply manufacture whatever ARM designs with minor changes

the point of patent law is to tell the world exactly how your idea works so someone can reverse engineer it with some improvements

in the USA the big cable companies provide FREE wifi service to their customers
that would be an awesome way to get free ESPN, Disney Jr and other streamed TV access

if your TV plays Netflix and Vudu, what is the point of upgrading?
taking x64 except for one or two instructions to hurt AMD
or their SSE extensions
