Basically they've "sold" their mobile patents to a patent troll (yes, troll, original definition: It's a company that employs only lawyers and makes no products of any kind of their own. Their only business is milking patents, that's it). This patent troll will give 2/3s of every penny these parasitic arsehats bleed out of the tech industry back to Nokia and Microsoft which is why they got the patents for free. Despicable act. No other word for it. I'd quit, on the spot, if I worked for either company. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
