I do follow the patent law suites. In case of Apple vs. Motorola, it was in fact Motorola that set the ball rolling with its first suit in October 2010 in the US. It was the same fight over the same set of patents that has spilled over into

I disagree on the offensive party part - in Feb 2012, Google/Motorola used a pager-era patent to get an injunction against multiple Apple devices[1] in Germany. Apple had to disable iCloud push email feature to get their products back on sh

Exactly. They aren't copies. But MS suing Apple - I don't think my logic has any such implication or connotation. As pointed out in Nilay Patel's article, TouchWiz is an attempt to mimic iPhone look & feel. If Samsung had evolved their

Since you are taking Mobster analogy, I'd like to propose one for Google/Motorola: Loan Shark (not a community bank). They pledged to license certain patents in Fair, Reasonable And Non-Discriminatory terms, when they contributed them to Te

That is over-simplification of facts. If that were true, why doesn't Samsung leverage the device shown in the comparison to counter-sue Apple? Edit: Trying to understand the down votes. Would like to hear counter-arguments.

Not true. Google/Motorola got an injunction against a few Apple products in Germany, a few months back. Apple had to disable push mail feature on its iCloud service, in Germany, to get the products back to market.

I'm having trouble understanding this argument. You say Apple has wronged you with this ban on Galaxy Nexus. But the injunction is in the US and you say you live in Australia. How does that affect you? So maybe you are opposed to Apple by p

I'm checking Reddit within 35 minutes of your comment here. I don't see anything related to Apple on the front page - positive or negative. Do things change that rapidly on reddit?

Well said. Also, I don't remember anyone calling for Boycott of Google/Motorola products & services, when Motorola won an injunction against some Apple products in Germany.

I agree. This is a trending topic on a Google property, to protest a court ordered injunction on another Google product. Unless this trends on Twitter or reaches Reddit front page, it is of no consequence.

Did anyone else find it odd that 15 out of the total 20 articles the author has linked, to back up his arguments, are his own on the same site?

I don't see how the author's alleged affiliations has any implication on the story. Fact is fact, after all. In any case, here is the same story on Businessweek: http://www.businessweek.com/news/2012-06-29/google-said-to-f...

That is an excellent point. A track record of good customer service also means Amazon has an advantage over Google.

I'm sure there is a reason; Google doesn't seem to be selling all hardware at cost. Nexus Q at $299 suggests so. Just trying to understand what economic reasoning led Google to decide to sell Nexus 7 at cost. I don't get it from where I sta

by raganesh 14y ago
That is definitely a very valid argument in case of Search/Advertising. And to a certain extent, in case of Android, too. But is that a good enough reason to sell hardware at cost? Why not give it away for free, then? That will attract a lo

by raganesh 14y ago
So many questions. Google says they are selling Nexus 7 at cost. So what is the revenue model? If the idea is to follow Amazon's Kindle Fire (where revenue from content sold in future, justifies the at-cost pricing of the device), is it not

Why the ad hominem attack on the author? Irrespective of the author's affiliations, I found the article well written and well reasoned. The problems discussed are real and it would be in Google's best interest to address them.
