And where exactly is the money going to come from if they do win? It comes out of the company funds which the shareholders own anyway, less lawyer's fees, and the shareholders also have lawyers fees. It is basically the same as suing yourself, and it seems that the only people who can possibly win here are the lawyers.
If the shareholders don't like what's going on, call an EGM and sack the directors.
900Mhz is the most popular GSM band in Europe and most of the rest of the world. My mobile operator uses it, and it works very well in my car. I guess that means it would be illegal to use this phone in most parts of the world.
It is different because with most package management systems on linux you can subscribe to repositories from lots of different sources, when you run your update check, it will check all of them in one go, and when you search for new software, it will search for it in all of them.
By "we" I mean fellow slashdotters. No doubt there is a slashdotter somewhere who has never administered a linux system, but I'm sure they are very tiny minority.
Most of their core market - people who use them to provide mobile workers with access to line of business applications are. The general vibe I'm getting is that most of them are going to jump ship to Android.
We are used to "App stores" in the form of apt-get repositories or similar in other distributions. It is one of the things that makes linux so much easier to use than the competition.
What Steve Jobs is introducing is a bit like that except that you need a separate interface for each different app store you subscribe to (Apple, Steam's Valve, etc) and it has the facility to support payment for the software being downloaded.
If you don't have to run the Apple updater, the Microsoft updater for MS Office, the Adobe updater for Creative Suite and so on, that in itself would be a good reason to buy your software from the App Store rather than from somewhere else.
Race discrimination laws don't require me to do business with Nigeria if I don't want to. I have to do business with Nigerians living in this country on the same terms as everyone else who lives in this country but that won't be coming from Nigerian IP addresses.
Take BBC iPlayer for example. They buy the UK rights to some TV shows from companies who sold other country rights to other people. Those companies would not be happy if the BBC made their shows available on iPlayer to those other countries.
Also, for shows they make themselves, they sell other country rights to TV stations abroad. Those TV stations wouldn't be happy about handing money over to the BBC if the shows are available for free on iPlayer.
Sun bought MySQL. Oracle bought Sun and MySQL came along with it. Anyway, Oracle DB and MySQL are not really competitors. Oracle would be overkill for a typical MySQL project, and MySQL wouldn't be up to the task of replacing a typical Oracle installation.
And that German Company almost certainly still exists somewhere in Oracle's corporate structure. The only difference now is that it has different shareholders, and possibly a new name such as Oracle Deutchland gmbh.
You look at how many gallons of oil your local power station burns to produce that electric power. Of course, your local power station might burn coal or gas (as in methane rather than something liquid) which will make things a little difficult.
Alternatively, you should never be driving the car at more than 70 mph as it is illegal to do so. Therefore it isn't an issue. Or at least that is the case with the identical Vauxhall Ampere sold in the UK. The rest of Europe uses km/h for its speed limits and the speed limit is typically between 110 km/h and 130 km/h. 70 mph is 112km/h.
Macs "just work" once you tell sudo your password. If I see the sudo box when I'm not expecting it, hitting the cancel button is much easier than typing in my 15 character password.

We use it for licenced GSM cellphones. In the UK, Telefonica O2 and Vodafhone operate on that band.

Is there anything there that grants them this as intellectual property to exploit?

No, but using it to cool a computer that is connected to the internet might be.
They would get the Arkell v Pressdram response, just like everyone else.

They were making about £1 per reader per year in advertising revenue, so income has fallen by 90%.
You don't even need to be deaf, you just need to be browsing with the speaker on mute because you are at work.
Who cares about satellite media? The future of tv is internet based video on demand.
And nearly everyone stopped visiting his (London) Times Newspaper website after he started charging for it. Readership down from 10,000,000 to 10,000.
And 1% cheaper to sell, so no difference there, except you will probably find it easier to find a buyer for your stocks.
If a patch has been released and people refuse to install it, the courts can make software secure.

There is a lower minimum wage rate for them

Or howabout something more simple like sudo?
