But, little michi, does that mean we all have to wear blinders and not look at anyone while we're outside, too? Why the fuck should I have to get your permission to incidentally take your picture? If you get in my way, then your ass is on film. Not my problem. If you've got a problem with that, then you have a possible neurosis that should be medicated.

Well, I'll tell you. In the state of Ohio, if you so much as start up a vehicle requiring valid registration, and you don't have a license? They can nab you for 'operating a vehicle without a license.' Doesn't matter if it's on public land or not.
You've missed the point others have made. To wit: Tethering was not in their initial agreement, so they can't be breaking the TOS they agreed to. Companies like AT&T change their contracts without notifying you, or letting you disagree and leave the service without huge penalties.

In other words, you aren't going to actually discuss the suit in question, because Mike has it right in his article, but rather what the patent says, which isn't what's being discussed. Gotcha.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Liar, liar pants on fire
Fine, then let's look at the suit, shall we?
39.
The ‘955 Patent is generally directed to novel, unique and non-obvious systems and methods of using a multi-convergence device, including phones commonly referred to as “smartphones”, which are able to converge voice and data within a single terminal, and which allow users of such devices via domain specific applications to receive information and offers from merchants and to complete a transaction with one of said merchants without having to generate a voice call.
Now, what part of this, which is the only claim being made about the patent itself, can you dispute with regards to what Mike posted?
Read it. The claims support 'an internet-connected phone supporting search and showing ads.' How is that misrepresenting the scope? I did not claim 'any old IP phone coupled to a server.'
I was discussing how the claim that the patent was on an IP phone that shows ads and has a search function. If you want to read the entire thing, click through to it. I'm not your personal secretary. Use those 3 calories to move and click if you feel it necessary to read through all the claims and find something that disputes it.
Because I figured people were intelligent enough to click through to read the entire patent if they so chose. It says nothing of my validity that I did not choose to copy and paste the entire massive sections, but thanks.
Actually, reading through the patent, it does claim just that.
1. A system, comprising:
an Internet Protocol (IP) phone coupled to a server...
...
7. The system as recited in claim 1, wherein said merchants in said list of merchants select one of a plurality of advertising services, wherein each of said plurality of advertising services provides a different level of advertising exposure.
8. The system as recited in claim 7, wherein said different levels of advertising exposure comprise a different amount of contextual information presented to a user of said IP phone.
9. A method for performing contextual searches on an Internet Phone (IP) phone comprising the steps of: ...
Reading through this, almost every step goes back to what the title of this article suggests. How are you reading it otherwise?
