Who are Cook & Co and why will they be sued?

iPhone 6: The final straw for Android makers eaten alive by the data parasite?

Re: lets look at this in another way..

Except the don't. My kids have been through 5 different Android phones and are all asking me to buy the iPhones next. Too much frustration with RAM/flash/internal vs external memory issues. App incompatibility (while on the same baseline) and PC syncing that requires USB driver education (Samsung, HTC and Sony). My four year old iphone 4 still is the phone they want to use.

Re: Uneducated toss.

As a Ex-Nokia person focused on the Americas from 1996-2010 I can tell you that even in the lowest market share days the US always mattered. Nokia's global standing was made with the AT&T One rate and the Nokia 6160 in 1996. Nokia lost the golden relationship with US operators because they were too reliant on Nokia (sound like anyone today?) and they actively promoted the competition. There is NO operator in the world who wants to be dependent on only one or two manufacturers.

Explaining the Chocolate Factory's Patent Panic

Missing the point

The ONLY reason I can approve this merger is if Google gets significant leverage in the Oracle infringement suit. So here's my theory. Oracle bought Sun to acquire Java. Sun also had a hardware business that was hot at one time, but lost it. Google want to dangle the Moto hardware group in front of Oracle with the promise that Motorola can get them back in the hardware business (Hey, tablets are hot. Especially those ANDROID tablets...nod, nod, nudge, nudge, know what I mean gov'ner...)

Yes Google will settle with Oracle by giving them Motorola Hardware AND keep those great compression patents to fend off the iGuys....

Just my conspiracy theory because Google wouldn't pay $12 billion + right before the have to pay Oracle $x billion in the settlement...
