   You can also pay $25/month for a year, and then get free internet for the next 6 years after that (5/1 mbps I believe).

   While true, I think looking at the quote from the jurors paints a different picture for their criteria: "Once you determine that Samsung violated the patents, it's easy to just go down those different [Samsung] products, because it was all

   If you look at the quotes, it's pretty obvious he took it personally: "When I got in this case and I started looking at these patents I considered: ‘If this was my patent and I was accused, could I defend it?’” Hogan explained. On the night

   I can no longer respond to the people replying to me, so I'm putting this here. Motorola, not Google, sued Apple and Microsoft over FRAND patents in April of 2011. It wasn't until August 2011 that Google even announced their intent to acqui

    I'm not trying to suggest that Google has nothing to do with this, they obviously do, but I think saying that Motorola is suing them using Motorola patents is more accurate. Anyone paying attention to this field would know that Motorola i

    > Don't be evil means use your patents as a defense not to sue others. It means amass a big enough trove that others feel that suing you is going to be futile. Well, when a company is suing all of the companies that use your software ov

    Note that none of the patents they are suing over this time are FRAND patents.

    > Now that Google has acquired Motorola, they have the patents to go after anybody they want and that's exactly what they are doing. Let's be clear: They've sued Apple, the one person who's been unwilling to cross-license their patents.

    This is Motorola suing Apple again, for the record.

    Just to be clear, this Motorola suing Apple, and it's not the first time they've done so. I think The Verge has a much less linkbait-y headline for this: "Motorola files new patent case against Apple with ITC, wants import ban on iPhone and

    Less, managing two version control systems seems like insanity (speaking as one who's had to do it in the past). Having people sign their commits is dead simple in Git, and you could setup hooks to make sure every commit is signed before yo

    Just require commits that are signed off with GPG keys. Then you have a clean, verifiable audit trail through git. Beyond that, you'll have the full development history on your machine, which they can't just arbitrarily change.

    If having an unlocked bootloader is important to you, stop buying locked phones . It really is that simple. The Galaxy Nexus is $350 unsubsidized on the Play Store[1], and is completely unlocked (okay, I admit, you have to run fastboot oem
