all it would take is a simple submittal to anonymous and I'm pretty sure this would escalate. How do people manage to be this stupid in the first place?
However, that's not to say that dealing with a tough situation is going to hold Microsoft back from spewing everything they can to make google sound like an evil entity here.
The amount of FUD surrounding this matter has been as atrocious as ever.
sadly, lots and lots of corporations do function like this. While I recognize the joke it's a safe bet that if it's not a startup and is a large company it's pretty common this will happen.
what is going on? Apple and Microsoft want to be able to sue for their patents regardless of licensing - google does not.
So their statement does not have to do with the shakedown, Mike. As noted by PJ on groklaw: "See what the issue is? Apple and Microsoft would like to *change* FRAND terms to include a waiver of injunctions, which isn't now part of FRAND requirements. In fact, it's an equitable remedy. They'd like it to be removed as a defensive move, in order to disarm Android vendors, especially now that Google is buying Motorola. In short, it's not so much about loving standards all of a sudden as wanting to win by disarming the other side. And then there is the problem that no one can build a smartphone without paying so much for patents they can't make a profit. This is now hitting Apple and Microsoft too. I wish Microsoft and Apple would be more straightforward. Their paid "consultants" too. I mean if someone is being paid by Microsoft, whose position is he or she likely to push? So, good for BBC News for seeking out lawyers to check on what non-lawyer consultants are pushing out there"
As noted - their concern is tablets and handsets - not codecs.
I agree that they should do more, but I wouldn't act like they've been passive - quite the opposite.
none of the pyrex sold in the us is PYREX anymore (borosilicate). Not since the 70's. The european version with borosilicate is named "Marinex" and....not made from Pyrex.
it's the good old political way, coming back around.
I hope politicians are happy to have used this technique so often that basically everyone uses it for mudslinging now.
Yet another example of "when you do something stupid, and do it publicly, other people are going to copy it". On a bigger scale, I really hope politicians become more aware of idiocy like this, instead of "let's overreact again and let other people use it to their advantage".
