You are saying that Schmidt stole IOS code and put it in Android? That is bullshit. Total Bullshit and you know it. Schmidt was not privy to any Iphone info while on the board and definitely did not have access to any Apple source code. Stop spreading misinformation.
So you endorse suing over software-patents then right? You are happy with Apple and Microsoft suing YOU for writing code right? Code that they did not write and have NOTHING to do with? So if one operating system has a menu bar can we patent that and sue every one to hell and back for implementing a menu bar in software with completely different code? Suing people for swipe to unlock and displaying text before an image in a browser is ok with you? So now you can't sit down at your computer and write code without an army of lawyers charging you a heap for the privilege to use your own fucking code?
Take your anti-google campaign somewhere else. You are obviously trolling hard. You must be paid well. I think what is a shady/sleazy tactic is your shilling on forums and blogs. Florain? is that you.

It's not about GMO its about patenting life-forms that can spread and contaminate other life forms with the patented trans gene then suing everyone who gets contaminated with that patented transgene out of existence with an army of lawyers. Its about the company that is the face of GMOs in North America. Their internal studies that have been leaked shows clearly that their methods are not safe. This is Monsanto we are talking about. The same people that said DDT was safe, then Agent Orange was safe, then rbst was safe, feeding cattle corn was safe, they claimed Round-Up was biodegradable...it was not. now they are claiming that their Round-Up ready products are safe when their leaked internal animal studies have shown not to be so and their claims about previous products have shown to be consistently false. Why are people so willing to stick their heads in the sand on this matter?
1) its bad because the strain is a dominant patented strain owned by one company. In the case of corn and soy the Monsanto strain is in 90% of crops. 90% of those crops are now Monsanto's "intellectual property" and they aggressively pursue violators intentional or not. The strain contaminates conventional crops with Monsanto's patented gene causing people who are growing conventional crops to have to take out a license agreement with Monsanto. Farmers are not allowed to save the seed from their crops, must buy new seed every harvest, must purchase all their chemicals from Monsanto. This is also not good for the free market.
I wont bother with 2 and 3 since your statements regarding those were nonsensical.
Troy Roush a 5th generation farmer and Vice President of the American Corn Growers Association is the expert look him up.
Who is talking about that? You can still have a mix of crops: genetically modified from several suppliers and conventional from several suppliers. There is even the potential for genetically modified crops to only fill in where conventional crops fail (such as saline environments), thus displacing no conventional crops.
Actually no you cannot. The GMO stuff you have License from Monsanto and they have special rules about what you are supposed to do in the license agreement. Also in practice the GM Corn and Soy are dominant and they cross-pollinate the conventional corn and soy. If your corn or soy gets contaminated by GM corn or soy then you have to pay for a license from Monsanto plus purchase seed from them.
And they are closing their doors on vitamin fortified rice, and closing their doors on a substantial tool to feed their people. All for nothing but alarmist responses and irresponsible reporting by people who have no clue what they are talking about.
Yes, because it it's one thing China is known for, it's protecting IP~
You're just making up motivation to fit into your pet ideas.
Alamist?
Tell that to Troy Roush the vice president of the American Corn Growers Association. A 5th generation farmer. You seem to know more that he does.
When their gene spreads like wildfire and contaminates farms all across America and they aggressively sue the contaminated farms out of business there is nothing alarmist about that. When food staples are all becoming Monsanto's "intellectual property" There is nothing alarmist about that. Patenting life forms should not be allowed period.
Yes and don't get caught planting any of that corn without paying a license fee to Monsanto per hectare of Corn/Soy also If your crop gets contaminated with Monsanto GM corn through cross-pollination or any other natural cause then expect an expensive trip to court. Oh and don't bother saving the seeds from last year's crop for the next year. You will be sued out of existence. The 90% of corn that is grown in North America is Monsanto's Intellectual property you don't own your crop they do and they aggressively pursue anyone that violates their "intellectual property" FUCK Monsanto.
You are allowed to compete with Apple's own apps on functionality. What you're not allowed to do is to copy the UI of one of Apple's Apps. That's the reason Evi have been asked to change. Because the UI is too much of a Siri copy.
let me be a little bit more detailed for you since you seem not to have the cranial power to see for your self.. THey see Google as having made open source OPERATING SYSTEMS popular.
It is because MS is still fixated on stifling open source software from the market place. They see Google as a HUGE threat because they see Google as having let the open source horse out of the barn and now you have companies such as Samsung, Motorola, Amazon, Barnes and Noble among others that are deploying this on devices all over the place. They don't see Apple as a threat that way. Microsoft has always wanted to see their OS on everything....everything. The widespread use of open source in the marketplace is Microsoft's biggest nightmare.
... has a video service?
Seriously though, it isn't good for one service to weild as much power as youtube over which videos will be promoted to fame and which are left lingering in obscurity.
Better Google than Microsoft. We have seen what Microsoft does when they wield that much power in other areas. One shudders to think what it would be like if youtube was run by Microsoft and Bing was our only choice of a search engine.
GOOD. They should sue the shit out of each other over FRAND software-patents. Until standards consortiums disallow the use of software-patents for supposedly "open" standards then I will grab the popcorn. MIcrosoft had no problem suing the shit out of anyone producing any successful open source product and shaking them down for a "Linux license" Just ask TomTom, Buffalo, Amazon, and a litany of other victims trying to produce open source products or in the case of Amazon using Linux servers then later kindle Android and Linux patents. They started this whole mess. Microsoft even said that if software-patents existed back when they were growing they would not have been able to become what they are today. And now they want to sue people for writing code that "displays a background image in a browser after text is rendered." Open standards should not be patent encumbered period.
Now, when you cut through the BS and look at the math....
According to B&N for 3 software-patents Microsoft is attempting to charge them anywhere between $5-15 per device. Motorola is charging 22.50 for 50 software-patents. So lets do the math shall we. Let's start with Microsoft's low price per device for 3 patents. 5/3 = $1.66 for each Microsoft software-patent at the cheapest. For 50 software-patents from Motorola? 22.50/50 = $0.45 per device Now lets look at the high side Microsoft software-patents at $15 so 15/3 = $5 per Microsoft software-patent. Now lets look at Motorola on the high side its $45 per device for 50 software-patents. 45/50 = $0.90 per patent. So I would say Microsoft is charging an arm and a leg for software-patents on open source software while Motorola is saying to MS since you charge that much for your software-patents you MUST pay us a fair price for ours. And compared to Microsoft's prices, Motorola's prices are quite fair. So again people are totally misled by Microsoft.
You do realise that Microsoft does the same thing right? They send an invalid privacy header the same way they are complaining that Google is doing. So you trust Microsoft to tell you the truth?

I meant GMO soy is 90% of the market

When you start a patent war with open source and players in that game have something at stake you shouldn't be surprised when they bite back. Microsoft has vowed to use software-patents to drive open source out of the marketplace
Now, when you cut through the BS and look at the math....
