Is the implication that Hogan should not have been able to prosecute his lawsuit? What if he got the same outcome by funding it himself?

It's probably no coincidence that they pulled out of the EU investigations of Google after starting it. They probably see the financial upside in becoming more like Google.

Why does Windows 10 now phone home to domains like ad.doubleclick.net and adnexus.net?

But services have never been a core strength of Apple. They've always been at most "good enough". On the other hand, Apple has built up an enviable reputation for delivering well planned and executed physical devices with hig

If the OEMs are choosing to sign off on the OS and be the gatekeeper for core system updates, then they effectively own the security flaws and they should be held responsible for defects in their product. To me, this is a consumer protectio

>Part of this decision was also a switch from Google Drive to Dropbox: Dropbox supports Linux, Google Drive does not. Which to me has always been kind of weird because Google uses Linux internally for most of their workstations.

Countless words have been written about this, but does MS see it as a problem?

That sounds like mainly an education problem. Why can't that be fixed by a public awareness campaign informing people of other supermarkets.

Unsurprising that it "caused user confusion" since unlike with imessage, SMS messages were not synced with the hangouts desktop client so chunks of a merged conversation when viewed on the phone would be missing when viewed from t

The media is going far too easy on Microsoft. MS isn't just resorting to "adware tactics." This is adware.

Where does Microsoft explain what they are sending to domains like ad.doubleclick.net?

At least now they've sort of restored the online presence indicators with the "last seen XXX ago", but I still don't understand what can be so hard about searching hangouts conversations on the phone. I can search throug

But function is not something to be assessed in isolation. The context is important too, as "the Java API" is not expression for expression's sake and has little intrinsic value. Google argued that they brought a system built

Since Oracle hasn't dropped its patent claims from the complaint (despite the fact that they've already been defeated), doesn't Oracle get to bypass the 9th circuit and vault the case back to the CAFC?
