I would actually watch a reality show covering this. Watching them code, blaming each other over breaking builds, accusing each other of IP theft and so on. Another interesting thing to think about is how patents come into the picture. Are

Not to mention there are multiple great phones to choose from. Galaxy Nexus and SIII and the ton of S2 variants.

This article resonates strongly with me as a candidate who works as a generalist Software Engineer at a small company and has been looking out for opportunities. At this point I am frustrated enough to put up a big 'Fuck you recruiters!' on

The worst part about this is people are actually celebrating this as a victory for Apple and a vindication of sorts. We have to realize that every time some patent is awarded, someone has just robbed the collective human knowledge pool, som
