- ajross 14y agoYou're right. My opinion has changed. Apple vs. HTC is a net good too, at least in the sense that it brings us closer to some level of regulatory relief.
- Steko 14y agoI'll give you some props for consistency there. I'm not some anti-gubmint crank but I do think it's a little wishful to think the US government is going to do anything constructive here much less fix everything anytime soon. What I see as more likely is the spectre and reality of injunctions leading to a huge round of cross licensing settlements. A good outcome for incumbents in general and a bad one for prospective new entrants who bring the biggest growth.
