According to CNET, HTC’s fate is “in the air,” as the a judge has determined that their Android powered devices are infringing on two of Apple’s patents (which are talked about here: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-20079905-94/itc-says-htc-violating-two-of-apples-patents/ )
Though the verdict by the judge needs to be approved by the ITC board, this could an embargo on such Android devices. Certainly wouldn’t be good for their sales, that’s for sure.
It’s so nice to see Google sticking up for them! Not.
Keep in mind that if this judgement is approved by the ITC, Apple would ...
Why 339 commits to linux staging tree drivers by Microsoft devloper Srinivasan is not a fail of Linux developers and is just a strategy of Microsoft to get world domination!

It’s worth reading the follow-up comments on LHB (you may have to skip the odd nigger-related or (anti-)Marxist diatribe), because they nail this one.
I’m trying to remember what the Hurd was supposed to be in the first place (apart from the ultimate RMS wet-dream), but I seem to remember that they co-opted the Mach kernel fairly early on and then failed, miserably. The Mach kernel, you see … and I have a lot of time for the Mach kernel and subsequent work in that direction … does not ...
Linux Journal op-ed about “whining about the whiners”. Instead of going over the common complaints and analyzing or responding to them in a professional manner, the author decides to be a total twat. (I was really hoping that wouldn’t be the case.) Insults non-Linux users for no good reason, too.
Why inform the reader about the (apparently) glaring issues when you can be yet another evangelical Linux fanboy? Guess it’s okay when you know you’ll get praise from a slathering of blind Linux fans who choose to ignore the important issues.
It’s like this guy accidentally ...
Well, here we are, the Zeus trojan has been ported to android, or should I say android GNU/Linux, as many freetards are pleased to evangelize around the web.
Yes, another malware on a Linux variant.
You know, when you tell freetards that if malware writers don’t target Linux, it’s only a matter of market share? They tell you about ApacheVsIIS™ , and they tell you that Linux is InherentlySecure™, and market share barely has an influence.
Of course, to normal people, it’s common sense that it’s all about market share.
Well, now that Android has a ...
Courtesy of .Net Jerkface, and I have a personal interest in this because I contracted to Envisional. An awesome little company, btw, but given that their business is based in crawling the Web and rooting out naughty people, you wouldn’t really expect them to go into administration, would you?
Well, they did. And then they got bought by somebody bigger. (Loons don’t really understand that this is what happens when you cripple a small company with absurd demands.)
And here’s the idiot non pareil on the thread (+5, natch):
Getting a Ph.D. doesn’t make you less of an asshole.
I can’t barely write because of the LULZ ensued by the article.
Phew, well, last month released an OpenSource Hardware license, because they felt we needed it. And it gets better since we now have the Open Hardware Initiative. I don’t even dare to go and wonder about the funding
Here is a priceless part of the CERN Courier
“The CERN OHL thus specifically states that manufacturers of such products should not imply any kind of endorsement or responsibility on the part of the designer(s ...
This is an open letter to all Linux and FOSS fanatics; Shut up and show some respect.
Thank you for telling us about your operating system and Open Source software. We are not interested in using it and would appreciate it if you refrained from attempting any further persuasion.
It’s fine to tell someone about something they may not know about, but you shouldn’t need to convince someone to use it. If it’s so great, it should be able to stand up on its own merit; It should sell itself.
Many of us use open source software ...
We all know that Canonical specialises in vertical markets: their total inability to make any single version work leaves them with nothing more than the magpie strategy.
Bet you didn’t know that, a few years back (OK, this article is way, way, old) there was a serious attempt to spread the virus into the heartland of conservative Islam?
Posted because it’s … just … weird.
Sorry Windows fans, but truths are truths…
I don’t care how awesome Windows Phone 7 is, it should compete with Android in the market and not in the courts.
But OMG they copied our OS! No they didn’t, that’s why Microsoft won’t show which patents exactly were violated (plus, google didn’t copy windows mobile, they copied apple)
