    winning in idiot home court is what patents trolls do.

    So, not sure why you think that means anything.

    This is the very essence of a nuisance patent.

     

    The very fact you think this potential award makes sense makes you a massively biased person.

     

    And yes, unlike you and the jury, I know what this patent is and that it is as valid as toilet paper.

     

    Basically, another person who defends a "podcast" like patent.

    Apple should lobby congress hard to reform the patent office.

    Take care of your own mental health and I'll take care of mine.

    Your comment is the ultimate dick move.

    Of course, you run, every little jerk does it.

    "Apple should just take a license like Intel did, though I'm not sure Wisconsin deserves almost a billion dollars for a single patent on something as ridiculously complex as a processor."

     

    Doubt it would have cost that much to license it....

    "Without socialist state institutions (what the rest of the world calls government institutions -- socialism is more about redistribution) there would be no iPhone."

     

    How so?

     

    PS "The goal of socialism is communism"


     - Vladimir Lenin (and I think he was an "expert" on the subject).

    Well, he was certainly an expert on what HE wanted to do with it...

    but go ahead and tar them with the same brush, if it makes you feel better.

    Firstly I was pointing out that the existence of government institutions isn't necessarily socialist. (Nor is socialism a pathway to communism despite lenins bollocks).

    I was talking about universities, often state funded who contributed to the modern era.

    You make this about tarring, poor way to re-frame the conversation, but well learned from Socialist leaning professors (fyi, Marx and Lenin wrote many pages on using the Universities to co-opt the sons and daughters of the bourgeoisie to join the CP (before they would be absorbed/ destroyed by the "proletariat" (think worker / slaves led by millionaires with private dachas...."earned" by teaching you how to organize,...)

     

    I have probably forgotten more / thrown more rocks for the Left than most. But if you need confirmation, ask anyone from Eastern Europe over the age of 44.  what going to University  behind the Iron Curtain was like until the Wall came down.... most of the 50-60 million from Eastern Europe will tell you that the political correctness and the doctrinaire indoctrination of collectivism was EXACTLY like what is being "taught" today.

     

    And just to go back on topic, the iPhone was NOT built by socialism. ASSEMBLY is happening in Communist/Crony capitalist  China, but it was invented and designed in the good old Capitalist West.

    Tell that to the 100 million killed by communists...or are you going to defend that as well.
