Macs may be better, but this has gone beyond healthy competition. This is not right, and we must do what we can to stop it. Deploying this patent portfolio offensively can only postpone innovation. It's bad for customers, it's bad for the industry, and I'd argue it's bad for humanity. Coincidentally, Google released Android 4.4 today. It brings a modern browser with much improved battery life to older, less capable hardware. This is a win for people of average means, and it extends access to the world's information to people in developing countries that wouldn't have had the opportunity on more expensive hardware. Would we be where we are today without Android? Use the patents as a defense against patent troll attacks. But when you become a patent troll yourself, you are now the enemy. Fuck Apple. Fuck Microsoft. I will do everything I can to avoid their products, even if the alternatives aren't as good. They're both a net-negative for humanity.
