They basically wrote up some specs as to how to do what RIM does, and submitted that for the patents. If I told you to come up with some way of doing e-mail over wireless, you would likely come up with the same thing. In other words, it's obvious stuff, and clearly should not have been granted a patent in the first place.
Most geeks *want* to learn. They don't want to steal code to pass a class. However, stealing (borrowing) GPLed code is expected (why re-invent the wheel?).

1. They offered to pay previously, but NTP wanted more extortion money.
2. They will not be shut down. Only U.S. customers would be impacted.
3. The reason to not settle is to avoid setting a precedent with
regard to obvious software patents.
The entire market was down. Granted, not 8%, but to attribute
the decline in the Google shareprice because of the DOJ action
is silly.
Simpler. Support current standards. Upgrade the users
browser to support those standards. For free.
He had a fast horse, er, I mean, a fast camel. Yeah, yeah, a fast camel.
That's the ticket!
Most are too embarrassed to admit they were hacked/extorted/fooled,

Will get you going.
Good idea, though I suspect
the problem is really in the flux capacitors.
And there you go. Ad servers.
