  7. Strategy on Motorola Loses ITC Case Against Apple for Proximity Sensor Patents · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Sometimes when I go to long thinking on a problem, I stop and have a beer or a glass of wine, a bit after that, the brains changes the way it thinks about the problem. Often times this brings a better/faster abstract solution and worst/buggier code.
