Google as far as I based android on the Apache VM which was implemented using the published OpCode spec for Java. So for ripping off the OpCode/VM, actually they did something quite legitimate. From memory the Oracle claim centers on a f

The article is very long, I do apologise for that. However its a very thorough analysis of the economic issues of our times.

The other critical factor is whether the acquisition is a cash deal or a share based deal, a share arrangement would be very efficient indeed, hard to find meaningful details of the acquisition.

The problem is knowing which part of Motorola held the patents, if it was mobility, which would seem logical in some ways (encryption of video streams and media) it would be a boon. Microsoft have a big case against Motorola over the licen

Does this include any of the H264 patents that Motorola hold? If so this makes this story even more interesting, the cases for WebM/VP8 would change substantially.

I think that some people have missed some of the points in the article in particular the aggressive litigation against Samsung, HTC, Motorola etc it isn't just Google thats being targeted. This is an anti-competitive stance, Apple, Oracle

In my opinion just some paraphrasing of the old Sun documentation from several years ago. You're better to read the source material to fully understand what's happening in the VM, its a bit incomprehensible at first but a couple of reads

I find it all rather sad. BP has committed an appalling act of negligence however the parties operating the rig and the company that provided the Blow Out Preventer (Trans Ocean and Halliburton) still seem to be avoiding the worst of the

My PC I had for University, bought in late 1994, had 16MB RAM (which was huge), typical PC in that era ('92-94) was 4MB RAM, which was considered the minimum to run Window 3.1. I think the 8MB figures are a little wide of the marque, by 199

Whilst there maybe some nasty sensationalism going on here, that does not entirely exonerate Apple/Nokia. They put enormous pressures on their suppliers to deliver more goods in less time. The inevitable consequence is that the supplier p

On point 1 .US domains have to prove that they are being registered by companies or citizens in the US, at least in my experience anyway. Lot's of countries control registration of domains, it's a self interest thing it's not unique to Ch

It's extremely important to realise that the register is essentially on the side of climate change denial. It isn't shy about it and will only ever present articles that reinforce it's argument. It isn't balanced or reasonable reporting.

This is misleading, you essentially you learn from positive experience not necessarily success. You learned from the teachers who encouraged than those that didn't.

It's a generally meaningless article. It says that people are tentative when they are unsure of a subject regardless of gender. Plenty of weasles words in the article that confirm my point words such as e.g. stereotype, typical. Making th

Another tip, prepare your presentation on paper using a spider diagram, central theme in the middle, sub-topics adding legs, add extra spiders on spiders as required. You can make something like this very quickly (less than 30 minutes) esp

There are some good points raised here one's well worth remembering in many scenarios be it to investors, colleagues or academic Peers. The best preseners I've seen almost never use PowerPoint.

This really is nothing new. EAI platforms have had to deal with this for years, they solve it with idempotent updates e.g. UPDATE WHERE rather than relying on locks - ensure transaction tables have timestamps which can be used for this pur
