Yes, that's right, they just collect everything and don't analyze it properly. And you know this, how? Of course they do analysis, it's just of the "needle in a haystack" variety because of the sheer volume they col

Sinclair's branding was huge in the UK, but you can only sell so many calculators and the leapfrog in sophistication in those days was breathtaking. Technologies plummeted in price within months.

How to completely miss the point but use it as an excuse for some half-assed rant about patents. The repeated ignorant, ill-informed, incorrect amd emotive use of the word 'monopoly' merely betray your naivety.

This is a propaganda war, take nothing at face value. Is the Government lying (or ill-informed)? The Independent? The Guardian? Snowden? Is there another source of leaks?

Why are people so obtuse? The IP has very little to do with anything. The IP ban was supplementary to a cease and desist. If 3Taps continued to attempt access via a non-banned IP after the cease and desist then they are in contempt of court

Your college explanation was so skimpy as to be useless. An IP, at best, identifies a particular endpoint at a particular point in time, consider dynamically allocated IP addresses or virtual machines with externally visible IPs. Whoever al

I knew a British lawyer who went to work for Google in the UK, I wonder what he spends his time doing? Perhaps Google expects to invoke UK law when it is convenient for them but not otherwise. If so, they should be slapped down hard.
